FAQ
The lease should state who is responsible for arranging and paying for buildings insurance. With most leases, the landlord arranges and pays for buildings insurance but then passes on the costs (or an appropriate proportion, in shared premises) either as part of the service charge or as a separately itemised charge.
In the commercial leasing industry, $/SF/year or $/SF/yr means the rent per square foot per year.Let's say you receive a quote of $20/SF/year for a 1,000 square foot space. This would be calculated as $20 x 1000 square feet = $20,000 total (this is the cost for the total year).
The Use Clause and Exclusive Clause A use clause limits how you'll use the rented space.
Rates. Most commercial lease rates are quoted in annual dollars per square foot. Example: $15/SF In most cases (at least on the east coast of the US) this means you will pay $15.00 per square foot per year.
The lease should include basic facts and data about the property, including the physical address and the landlord's name and contact information. It should also state the date the lease was signed; the beginning and end dates of the rental period; and options for lease renewal, including policies for rent increases.
