- What capacity and service standard is actually committed?
- How are shared utilities measured and marked up?
- When does prolonged interruption trigger abatement or termination?

Metering and charges
Capture direct meter, allocation, administration and demand-charge rules.
Interruption relief
Record excluded causes, abatement threshold, restoration and termination rights.
Terms that can change the practical outcome
- Required capacity stated only in a brochure or email
- Utility allocation without access to underlying data
- No rent relief regardless of duration or business impact
What qualified counsel needs to test

Invoice-control handoff: Carry the sourced charge category, effective period, rate mechanics and exact document reference into the Rent Schedule & Invoice Audit. A variance is a review signal, not a conclusion about entitlement, payment, tax, set-off or default.
Commencement-control handoff: Carry the exact source, planned and actual events, accountable owner, required authority or professional evidence and every affected gate into Lease Commencement & Handover. A completed workflow task, key delivery or permit reference does not determine possession, acceptance, lawful occupancy, rent commencement or accounting treatment.
