03 — Real Findings

What it actually finds in your lease

CAM Charges
From your lease
"Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share of all Operating Expenses, including a property management fee not to exceed 5% of base rent and an administrative fee equal to 15% of all Operating Expenses, without limitation."
LeaseLens found
HIGH RISK
CAM charges are uncapped and include an administrative fee layered on top of operating expenses. At $2,400/mo in Year 1 with 8% annual growth, CAM reaches $3,528/mo by Year 5 — a 47% increase. No audit right, no cap, no capital improvement exclusion. Recommend requesting a 5% annual CAM cap with exclusions for capital expenses.
Personal Guarantee
From your lease
"Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and timely payment and performance of all obligations of Tenant during the entire Lease Term, including any extensions or renewals thereof."
LeaseLens found
CRITICAL RISK
Full personal guarantee with no burn-off provision and no dollar cap. On a $10,500/month lease with 4 years remaining, your maximum personal exposure is $504,000. There is no reduction based on time served or business performance. Recommend requesting a 24-month burn-off or a cap at 12 months of base rent.
Holdover Rate
From your lease
"If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term without Landlord's written consent, monthly rent shall immediately become 200% of the last monthly Base Rent, without notice or cure period."
LeaseLens found
HIGH RISK
Holdover rate of 200% with no notice or cure period is on the high end of market (typical range: 125–150%). On a $10,500/month base rent, a single month of holdover costs $21,000 instead of $10,500. Recommend negotiating to 125% with a 30-day cure period at base rent.

Based on standard commercial lease drafting patterns in landlord-prepared retail, office, and industrial leases. These clauses are common because they are presented as standard — most tenants sign them without requesting changes.

04 — The Math

The math behind why it matters

Consider a typical retail lease: $14,000/month base, seven years, standard personal guarantee clause that reads "Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full and timely performance of all Tenant obligations during the entire Lease Term."

At Month 36, the business runs into trouble. The owner wants to exit. She had an attorney review the lease — the attorney confirmed there were no illegal clauses. What didn't come up: the personal guarantee has no burn-off provision, no dollar cap, and no good guy clause.

The LLC offers no protection here. The personal guarantee overrides it. Without a burn-off negotiated in before signing, she is personally liable for every remaining month of the lease.

With a good guy clause negotiated in before signing, the story is different: provide six months notice, vacate in good standing, personal liability ends on move-out day.

LeaseLens flags full-term personal guarantees, calculates your maximum exposure at each year of the lease, and identifies whether a burn-off provision or good guy clause is present.

SituationPersonal exposure
Exit at Month 36, full-term PG, no good guy clause, landlord takes 6 months to re-let$117,000+
Exit at Month 36, full-term PG, no mitigation (worst case)$552,000
Exit at Month 36, good guy clause in lease (6 months notice at base rent)$69,000
Exit at Month 36, burn-off to 12-month cap after Year 2$138,000 max
