Hospitality Hotel Contract
A Hospitality Hotel Contract covers management, operation, or branding arrangements in the hospitality sector. This playbook guides negotiation of performance benchmarks, termination rights, and brand compliance.
Rent & Payment Structure
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the rent amount reflects market value and includes provisions for annual increases to account for inflation. Consider offering incentives like phased rent increases to attract long-term tenants.
Negotiate for a rent-free period to ease initial financial burdens and ensure the escalation cap is within industry standards. Aim for a payment schedule that aligns with your cash flow cycle.
Essential elements
1
Rent Amount
Annual rent payable monthly.
2
Escalation Mechanism
Annual rent increase percentage.
3
Payment Schedule
Due dates and payment method.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the escalation rate is above market norms or if the payment schedule is misaligned with cash flow.
EDIT
Reject clauses that lack clarity on rent-free periods or impose unreasonable escalation caps.
ADD
Add clauses for rent-free periods or phased increases to support tenant growth.
PRO TIP
Always align rent terms with market conditions and tenant's financial projections to ensure sustainability.
