DOCUMENT-REVIEW BOUNDARY

This page is a practical checklist—not lease wording.

The actual meaning depends on the complete lease, amendments, facts and governing law. Use the prompts below to extract and brief the issue; do not paste this page into a lease as a substitute for drafting and legal review.

03 · QUESTIONS TO ANSWER

What the business team needs to know

  1. What objective conditions trigger the right?
  2. How is comparable replacement space defined?
  3. Who pays all move, redesign, cabling, signage and downtime costs?
04 · WHAT TO CAPTURE

What to capture from the document

01

Trigger and notice

Record conditions, evidence, frequency, blackouts and notice period.

02

Replacement premises

Capture area, location, quality, configuration and rent adjustment.

03

Costs and remedies

Record direct/indirect costs, work, delay, termination and unamortized capital.

05 · WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Terms that can change the practical outcome

  • Replacement space chosen solely by the landlord without functional criteria
  • Cost reimbursement excluding business systems or downtime
  • Demolition right exercisable early in the term without capital protection
