Why November Matters in Commercial Real Estate
By November, many deals slow, leases expire, and tenants begin planning changes for the following year. For landlords and tenants, it’s a strategic month to lay the groundwork for upcoming lease renewals or relocations.
You’ll want every clause ironed out now — before the holiday drag sets in.
Key Commercial Contract Risks to Review Now
- Lease renewal terms: Are automatic renewals fair? Do you have flexibility to renegotiate?
- CAM / maintenance clauses: These expenses can balloon if not properly capped or audited.
- Subleasing and expansion rights: Can you grow, shrink, or sublet later?
- Termination rights and exit clauses: What happens if one party needs to leave early?
If your lease isn’t carefully drafted, you could be locked into burdensome terms.
