Office Lease

An Office Lease establishes tenancy rights and obligations for commercial premises. This playbook analyzes rent structures, maintenance responsibilities, and default remedies.

Scope of Premises

Why This Matters: Unclear scope can lead to unauthorized uses, disputes over access, and unexpected liabilities or costs for either party.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Landlord:

Ensure the clause clearly defines the property boundaries and permitted uses. Attach all referenced exhibits and confirm their accuracy.

If you're the Tenant:

Negotiate for flexibility in permitted uses and ensure any restrictions are reasonable. Verify that the boundaries are accurately described.

Essential elements

1

Premises Description

Defines property boundaries.
2

Permitted Uses

Specifies allowed property uses.
3

Boundary Clarification

Details property line disputes.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the boundaries or uses are unclear or overly restrictive.

EDIT

Reject if the clause imposes unreasonable restrictions or lacks necessary details.

ADD

Add language to clarify boundaries or expand permitted uses.

PRO TIP

Always attach a detailed map or exhibit to avoid future disputes over property boundaries.

Alternative scenarios & positions

Shared Spaces

In shared spaces, clearly define common areas and exclusive use areas to prevent conflicts.
