  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee.

  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease.

Landlord's revised estimate thereof. By April 30 of each calendar year (or as
soon thereafter as may be reasonably practicable) during the Term hereof
Landlord shall determine the actual Reimbursable Expenses for the preceding
calendar year and shall notify Tenant thereof. If the Tenant's total escrow
payments are less than Tenant's actual proportionate share of all such
Reimbursable Expenses, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within ten
(10) days after demand. If the total escrow payments of Tenant are more than
Tenant's actual proportionate share of all such Reimburseable Expenses,
Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant's next annual
escrow payments

Landlord or the landlord under the Underlying Lease a capital levy or other
tax directly on the rents received herefrom and/or a franchise tax,
assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon

to such disproportionately more expensive improvements, in addition to
Tenant's proportionate share of Taxes.

insurance as Landlord shall deem necessary. In addition to other amounts
required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, each calendar year (other than the
Base Year) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's proportionate share of the
amount payable by Landlord as tenant under the Underlying Lease, pursuant to
paragraph 13A thereof, being the amount by which the cost of procuring

procuring such insurance for the Base Year (such excess being referred to
herein as the "EXCESS INSURANCE EXPENSES").

     15. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE.

     A.  If the Premises or the Building should be damaged or destroyed by
fire or other peril, Tenant immediately shall give written notice to

knowledge of such damage, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be
abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of
the occurrence of such damage.

     B.  If the Building of which the Premises are a part, should be damaged
by any peril covered by the insurance to be provided by the landlord under
the Underlying Lease, and in the landlord's estimation, rebuilding or repairs
can be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date of the landlord's actual knowledge of such damage, this Lease shall not
terminate, and the landlord has agreed to restore the Premises to
substantially its previous condition, except that the landlord shall not be
required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures,
additions and other improvements that may have been constructed, erected or
installed in, or about the Premises for the benefit of, or by or for Tenant.

substantial completion, if the Premises are untenantable in whole or part
during such period, the rent shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair
and reasonable under all of the


                                      -7-


<PAGE>


circumstances. If such repairs and rebuilding have not been substantially
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the
landlord's actual knowledge of such damage (subject to Force Majeure Delays

holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days
after such requirement is made known to Landlord, whereupon all rights and
obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate (except as expressly provided
to the contrary herein).

recovery and causes of action that Tenant has released, Landlord shall hold

resulting from Tenant's or such other party's negligence). Except for any
claims, rights of recovery and causes of action that Landlord has released,

limitation, all costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses incurred in connection
therewith) in connection with any loss, injury or damage (i) to any person or
property whatsoever occurring in, on or about the Project, when such injury
or damage shall be caused by the act, neglect, fault of, or omission of any
duty with respect to the same by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, or
invitees (ii) arising from the conduct of management of any work done by or
for Tenant in or about the Project, (iii) arising from transactions of the
Tenant, or (iv) arising from a breach, violation or non-performance of any

violation by Tenant of any court order or any law, regulation, or ordinance
of any federal, state or local authority (collectively, the "LOSSES"). If any
claim is made against Landlord or Landlord Affiliates, Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, shall defend any such claim, suit or proceeding by or
