A staged commercial lease document arrangement used as general review context.

Commercial landlords and property owners

Review the operating risk, not only the rent.

A landlord's lease should be tested against how the premises will be occupied, altered, paid for and handed back.

Use this as a preparation aid. Compare the body of the lease with every schedule, annexure, plan and later amendment.

  • Base rent, escalation and taxes
  • Operating costs and reconciliation
  • Deposit, guarantee and suretyship

Premises and operations

  • Maintenance, insurance and damage

Works and occupation

Bring the file into sequence

For each step, note the current stage, the last completed action, any blocker, the next actor, the next required input and the next known update point.
