Exclusivity gaps

Tips
- •Negotiate signage and visibility rights
- •Ask for an exclusive-use clause
- •Both parties should sign and keep a copy — an unsigned agreement is hard to enforce.
Frequently asked questions
- What is percentage rent?
- Extra rent calculated as a percentage of your gross sales above a set breakpoint — common in malls.
- Can I control my signage?
- Use the signage allowance field and confirm the landlord’s sign criteria before opening.
- Who handles fit-out costs?
- Negotiate tenant improvement allowances separately and record them in the lease.
