Rent Abatement Clauses: Tenants Should Speak Softly, But Draft a 'Club'
November 30, 2007
In commercial lease transactions, a tenant's desire and need to occupy a space and begin transacting business often takes precedence over a landlord's ability to complete all of the bargained-for physical alterations that it has promised.
