Commercial Tenant Estoppel Letters

Commercial estoppels: more complex than residential. Address: percentage rent, CAM, operating expenses, renewals, expansion rights, purchase options, TI allowance, and exclusive use. Issues: CAM disputes, percentage rent changes, unapplied credits, unfunded TI, and oral modifications. Valuation: estoppels confirm actual rent, concessions, expirations, and disputes. Discrepancy = renegotiate price or walk. Resolve before closing.
