Are You Holding Your Landlord Accountable to Your Leasing Terms?

January 20, 2025

Lease Management

Active lease oversight is critical for food and beverage operators to ensure landlords comply with lease terms. Without proper monitoring, businesses risk paying more than necessary or facing operational challenges. Below, we discuss how to hold landlords accountable through lease audits, variance reports, and lease management services, protecting your business from unexpected costs.

Common Areas Where Accountability Matters
Accountability in lease terms can significantly impact your operations. Ensuring landlords deliver on agreements like patio spaces or drive-up windows is crucial. This also extends to securing permit support and monitoring radius restrictions to prevent competitive encroachment. Exclusivity clauses should be enforced to protect your brand’s presence and market advantage.

Monitoring Compliance for Key Terms
Tracking compliance with essential lease terms like exclusive use, permitted use, and co-tenancy is vital. Maintaining accurate records through a lease database enables businesses to verify compliance and avoid disputes. Vigilance over percentage rent calculations also prevents overcharges, helping businesses maintain financial control.

Enforcing Lease Terms with Confidence
Enforcing lease terms requires a combination of clear communication, accurate records, and, if necessary, legal recourse. A dedicated lease management team can ensure all provisions are honored, minimizing business disruptions. Expert oversight not only enforces landlord accountability but also allows operators to focus on brand growth and customer service.
