What is a Lease Analysis?
Keyser’s Lease Analysis is a structured review of your lease, renewal proposal, and operating expense language — designed to uncover what’s negotiable, what’s risky, and what could cost you long-term.
We look beyond rent — because rent isn’t the full cost.
Sample Issues We Flag:
- Â Administrative and management fees without clear limits or definitions
- Â Pass-through categories that should be excluded, clarified, or capped
- Â Audit and reconciliation terms that reduce transparency in practice
Example outcome:
- Â Improved cost control by tightening OPEX/CAM language and exclusions.
Sample Issues We Flag:
- Notice windows and option timing that create unnecessary pressure
- “Fair market rent” language that is not truly objective or tenant-friendly
- Renewal structures that limit negotiation leverage beyond rent
Example outcome:
- Strengthened renewal terms to preserve optionality and negotiation leverage.
Sample Issues We Flag:
- Â Restoration and surrender obligations that are broad, vague, or open-ended
- Â Assignment and sublease restrictions that limit future exit options
- Â Holdover and relocation provisions that increase operational risk
Example outcome:
- Reduced end-of-lease exposure by narrowing restoration scope and return conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lease Analysis in commercial real estate?
- A Lease Analysis is a structured review of your lease, renewal proposal, and operating expense language to identify what’s negotiable, where costs can escalate, and what terms create long-term risk.
When should we start a lease renewal analysis?
- Start early when possible. The best time is before renewal terms harden — but if you’re already in negotiations, Keyser can jump in quickly and prioritize what to push, protect, and renegotiate.
What documents do you need for a Lease Analysis?
- At minimum, we need your current lease and any amendments. If available, send your renewal proposal and recent operating expense reconciliations (CAM/OPEX) so we can evaluate the full cost structure.
What does Keyser review beyond rent?
- We review operating expenses, escalation language, renewal and option terms, audit rights, restoration obligations, assignment/sublease flexibility, holdover penalties, and other clauses that impact total occupancy cost and business risk.
Do you provide legal advice as part of Lease Analysis?
- No. Keyser is not a law firm. We help you understand business and lease implications and can coordinate with your legal counsel to support decision-making and negotiation strategy.
Can Keyser support negotiations, or is this review-only?
- Keyser can support negotiations directly or provide a clear negotiation roadmap that your team can execute. If you want full representation, we can lead the process end-to-end.
