You can price total occupancy cost, name the traps (CAM, guarantee, HVAC), and negotiate without apologizing for asking.

Final pass list

  • Recompute year-one and year-three total occupancy cost.
  • Read the guarantee as if your house depends on it.
  • Confirm every exhibit is attached and final.
  • Match insurance requirements to a broker quote you can buy.
  • Write down delivery date, condition, and remedies if landlord is late.

People who should look

You (business fit), your bookkeeper or CFO-type (cash), and a commercial lease attorney (risk transfer).

Questions

01

Can I change terms after signing?

Only by amendment both sides sign. Assume the signed lease is the whole deal.

02

What if I feel pressured to sign today?

Ask what changes tomorrow. Real deals survive a short delay for review.
