Lease structure questions to ask first
| Consideration | Common pitfall | What to verify before signing |
|---|---|---|
| Anchor co-tenancy | Signing next to a high-traffic anchor that closes 6 months later, leaving you orphaned. | Ask for a co-tenancy clause — rent abatement or termination right if the anchor leaves. Standard for strong markets. |
| Permitted hours | Late-night or early-morning ops blocked by zoning, neighborhood association, or shared-wall restrictions. | Confirm the permitted hours-of-operation are in your lease AND in the local code. Pull recent variances or complaints from the zoning portal. |
| Lease term | Locking into 7-10 years without break clauses, then needing to relocate after year 2. | Negotiate a relocation or termination clause. Confirm assignment + sublease rights are in writing. |
