Facing a commercial lease renewal or significant rent increase?

I help businesses evaluate landlord renewal proposals, understand the financial impact of proposed terms, and develop a commercially sound negotiation strategy before responding.

My analysis focuses on both the economics of the renewal and the practical negotiating position of the business.

Depending on your situation, the review can include:

• Current vs. proposed rent analysis • Percentage and dollar impact of rent increases • Occupancy cost and rent-to-sales analysis • Multi-year rent projections • Recommended counterproposal structure • Stepped rent and escalation strategies • Potential concessions and negotiation opportunities • Negotiation priorities and fallback positions • Practical landlord talking points

The objective is not simply to negotiate for the lowest possible rent, but to develop a realistic position that protects the business while supporting a workable long-term agreement.
