Essential questions about creating commercial lease agreements for business properties

Commercial leases are typically longer-term, have different legal protections, allow business modifications, include operating expenses, and often have escalation clauses. They also require different insurance coverage and may include percentage rent provisions.

Commercial rent is usually calculated per square foot annually. Factor in operating expenses (CAM charges), property taxes, insurance, and utilities. Consider market rates, property condition, location value, and tenant improvements when setting rates.

In NNN leases, tenants pay base rent plus their share of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance (CAM). This shifts operational costs to tenants while providing landlords with predictable income and reduced management responsibilities.

Commercial leases typically range from 3-10 years, with 5 years being common. Longer terms provide stability but less flexibility. Consider including renewal options, escalation clauses, and early termination provisions for changing business needs.

Key clauses include: use restrictions, assignment and subletting rights, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, default and remedy provisions, renewal options, rent escalation, and compliance with zoning and ADA requirements.
