Retail Lease Agreement

Overview

Drafting retail lease agreements manually requires juggling complex provisions like percentage rent calculations, CAM charges, exclusive use clauses, and continuous operation requirements. Attorneys spend 4-5 hours per lease ensuring all commercial terms are properly structured, cross-referenced, and compliant with landlord-tenant law while customizing provisions for each shopping center and tenant relationship.
