Key Things to Watch in Northwest Territories
These are common commercial lease risks for tenants. Always confirm the exact terms in your lease.
Utility & Winter Maintenance Allocation
Cold-climate costs (heating, snow removal) can be significant. Ensure the lease clearly allocates responsibility and provides transparency for pass-throughs.
Common Landlord Traps
- Uncapped pass-throughs: Operating costs, taxes, and insurance can rise year-to-year without a cap.
- Capital replacements billed to tenant: Avoid language that makes you pay for roof/HVAC replacement.
- Short notice deadlines: Renewal and termination rights can depend on strict written notice windows.
