Good to know
Frequently asked
What does TMI mean?
TMI stands for Taxes, Maintenance and Insurance - the additional costs beyond base rent in most commercial leases. Christine makes sure you understand the fully-loaded cost per square foot before committing.
Net lease vs. gross lease?
In a net lease the tenant pays base rent plus TMI; in a gross lease most costs are bundled. The right structure depends on your business - Christine will model both.
Can you negotiate a tenant allowance?
Often, yes - especially for longer terms. Christine regularly negotiates free rent and improvement allowances to offset your build-out costs.
