Current Issues in Lease Renewal Negotiations - Captive Tenant and Market-Based Renewal Transactions

Stay compliant and understand the key issues to consider in lease renewals.

This presentation will focus on the changing environment in lease renewals and lease amendments, both in the context of an option exercise and a negotiated lease renewal. Given the paradigm shift in vacancy rates and demand for space, tenants need to plan well in advance and avoid falling into the captive tenant category. The presentation will focus on the process of approaching lease renewal negotiations for each landlord and tenant, the due diligence needed to identify issues to be discussed, the nuances of the definition of fair market rent, and developments in compliance with laws, credit support, security deposits, energy efficiency and conservation, force majeure, and the use of improvement allowances that are impacting lease renewal negotiations.
