Tenant Improvement Allowance Agreement

A Tenant Improvement Allowance Agreement defines funding and construction terms for tenant space modifications. This playbook provides negotiation insights on payment schedules, approval rights, and completion standards.

Indemnification & Liability

Why This Matters: Overly broad indemnities or unlimited liability exposure can lead to catastrophic losses and insurer pushback.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Landlord:

Ensure indemnity obligations are mutual and liability caps are clearly defined. Propose language that aligns with industry standards and protects against excessive risk.

If you're the Tenant:

Negotiate for reciprocal indemnity obligations and reasonable liability caps. Ensure the terms reflect fair risk distribution and comply with jurisdictional requirements.

Essential elements

Mutual Indemnification

Reciprocal indemnity obligations.
2

Liability Cap

Action framework
