Leases for office space have their own logic, economics, and traps. Next to customary issues of the allocation and payment of operating expenses, there are issues of building services, including access to high-speed data and telecommunication networks. Many tenants are also motivated by energy efficiency and the environmental sustainability of their space. If the space is occupied by medical or dental practice, the landlord needs to be concerned about waste disposal and other environmental issues. Throughout an office lease there are traps for the unwary. This program will provide you a detailed guide to reviewing and drafting office leases, including building services, operating expenses, and expanding or contracting space.
