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.

Insurance Obligations

Why This Matters: Insufficient or lapsed insurance can expose parties to uninsured losses and breach of contract claims.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Landlord:

Ensure that the tenant maintains adequate insurance coverage to protect the property from potential damages. Require timely delivery of insurance certificates to verify compliance.

If you're the Tenant:

Negotiate for reasonable insurance requirements that align with industry standards. Ensure that the coverage limits are not excessively burdensome.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

For projects with higher risk profiles, consider increasing coverage limits and adding specific types of insurance, such as environmental liability.

Short-Term Leases

In short-term lease agreements, negotiate for proportional insurance requirements that reflect the reduced duration and risk exposure.

Shared Facilities

When facilities are shared among multiple tenants, ensure that insurance obligations are clearly defined to cover common areas and shared liabilities.
