This course provides useful and practical knowledge for lease negotiations in corporate real estate. We focus on the major business (non-legal) aspects of a commercial real estate lease. We dissect clauses of a typical lease to give the logic behind each clause, to assist you in the negotiations of new leases and in understanding existing ones.

We discuss subletting, relocation, holdover rent and other seemingly innocent clauses that can have an enormous impact and discuss how a decision today can affect your enjoyment of occupancy at a later date.

We also review several forms and analytical tools to assist in understanding the economics of a lease from a landlord, lender, and ownership perspective.

Mainly audio lecture. Slides are not helpful for reference nor engaging to maintain focus. Other course materials might be useful depending on how involved you are in commercial leasing transactions.

Good course, I would like to expand more and go through some sample leases to learn to read the lease language that way as well.

Useful review of major lease provisions. Examples with numbers seemed more detailed than needed to illustrate issues.

Good overview of corporate leases but would have been helpful if the examples were shown on the slides.

Terms were helpful to reference and calculators to reference at another time.
