Total Credits: 1.2 Self Study, 0.0 Kansas Credit
Percentage rent is used in retail leases where the landlord has bargaining power to demand a share of the tenant’s economic gains. Demand for retail space may be high or a landlord’s specific location may be particularly attractive such that the tenant is willing to pay not only a fixed amount of rent but a share of its gross revenue. These types of leases require a sophisticated understanding of the underlying economics of tenant’s business.These leases also require very careful drafting. How is gross revenue defined? Is there a minimum amount or a maximum amount? How are these numbers verified? And what are all the related protections for the landlord or the tenant? This program will provide you with a practical guide to negotiating and drafting percentage leases.
