Reading and Interpreting Leases

Leases are among the most important documents a real estate manager will encounter during his or her career. But, if you are like most managers, you probably have never “really” read your leases in their entirety. In this session, you will learn how to critically read and interpret leases – with an emphasis on the sections that have the most potential to impact the landlord and/or the tenant.

Course objectives:

Discuss how to critically read a lease agreement
Explain how to interpret leases based on common industry practices – as well as the specific wording included in the document. (There are often discrepancies between the two.)
Identify the most important sections of the lease to include on a lease abstract.
