Executive Summary
Lease Type: Retail

This lease imposes significant financial risk on the tenant. Unlike a Gross lease, this is a Triple Net (NNN) agreement where you are responsible for property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges WITHOUT a cap. Notably, the 'Relocation' clause allows the landlord to move your store at any time, and the 'Personal Guaranty' is unlimited.

CriticalIssue Score: 95/100
Dangerous Relocation Clause
Section 14.02 - Substitution of Premises

Why it's dangerous

The landlord can force you to move your business to a different location (e.g., a back corner with no foot traffic) with only 30 days' notice. They do NOT promise to pay for your renovation or moving costs.

“Landlord shall have the right... to substitute for the Premises other premises of substantially equal size... upon 30 days notice.”(View in PDF)

Negotiation Tactic

Argue that your business relies on this specific location/foot traffic and moving would destroy your revenue.

Suggested Redline

Landlord shall have no right to relocate Tenant during the Initial Term.
HighIssue Score: 85/100
Unlimited Personal Guaranty
Exhibit C - Guaranty

Why it's dangerous

You are personally liable for all rent and damages if the business fails, even years later. There is no 'burn-off' or cap.

“Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full performance of all Tenant's obligations... this Guaranty shall be continuing...”(View in PDF)

Negotiation Tactic

Offer a higher security deposit in exchange for a capped guaranty.

Suggested Redline

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Guarantor's liability shall be limited to an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Base Rent.
MediumIssue Score: 60/100
Uncapped Operating Expenses (NNN)
Section 4.02 - Additional Rent

Why it's dangerous

The landlord can increase your rent significantly by passing through major repair costs (like a new roof) or excessive management fees.

“Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of all Operating Expenses... including management fees, capital improvements, and replacements.”(View in PDF)

Negotiation Tactic

Benchmarking: 'Standard market practice is a 5% cap on controllable expenses.'

Suggested Redline

Controllable Operating Expenses shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) over the previous year's amount.

Negotiation Email Draft

Dear Landlord/Broker, I have reviewed the proposed lease for [Property Address] and have a few concerns regarding the risk allocation. We are excited about the location but need to address a few critical items to proceed. 1. Relocation (Section 14.02): The current clause allows you to move us with only 30 days' notice. Given our build-out investment, we cannot accept this risk. We request this be removed, or at minimum, require 120 days' notice and full reimbursement of relocation costs. 2. Personal Guaranty (Exhibit C): We are requesting a "Good Guy Guaranty" or a rolling cap of 12 months, rather than an unlimited guaranty. 3. Operating Expenses (Section 4.02): We need a 5% annual cap on controllable operating expenses and clear exclusions for capital improvements (like roof replacement). Please let me know if these terms are acceptable or if we can hop on a quick call to discuss. Best regards, [Tenant Name] [Business Name]
