Work Letter 'What Ifs'

Editor's Note: Landlords and tenants enter into agreements, known as “Work Letters,” delineating their respective rights and obligations with regard to tenant and landlord improvements. As with any other portion of the lease, complications can develop, so addressing potential Work Letter issues within the contract can pay dividends down the road. To illustrate some of the circumstances that may arise, and how one might deal with them at negotiation, the author has proposed six “what-if” scenarios, the first two of which were discussed in Part One of this article. She continues herein with Scenario number three.
