Lease Renewals and New Leases
Client A was renting their business premises. The landlord was seeking a 7% increase with five year renewal/rollover terms. We were able to negotiate down to a 3.5% increase and three year renewal terms. The lease agreement was amended to give landlord favourable payment terms (2 months in advance) as a compromise. We then continued to work with the client to reduce their telecommunications costs by $4,000 per annum.
