How can I negotiate favorable exit strategies in a commercial lease?

Rent Increases and Escalation Clauses
Commercial lease agreements often include provisions for rent increases that can impact tenants financially over time. Landlords typically incorporate escalation clauses to adjust rent based on various factors such as inflation, property taxes, or changes in operating costs. These clauses can specify fixed percentage increases, or they may be tied to economic indices, providing varying degrees of predictability. It’s essential for tenants to understand these terms thoroughly to anticipate potential costs.
