Avoid Oversights in Lease Amendments
The following scenario frequently occurs: A multi-tenant office building landlord requests its counsel to take a quick look at a proposed two-paragraph lease amendment that the landlord drafted itself. The landlord explains that the tenant has agreed to extend the lease term and establish a new base rental rate for the extended term. Very simple and straightforward, correct? In reality, if the landlord and tenant had signed the two-paragraph lease amendment, they would have made some potentially costly errors, overlooked several issues and bypassed an opportunity to capture more comprehensive provisions that, at a minimum, should have been considered for inclusion. This article will help attorneys avoid some common oversights when working on lease amendments and identify some opportunities that should be assessed during the amendment-drafting phase.
