Lease Negotiation

Better Terms. Before You Sign.

Commercial brokers earn 4–6% of total lease value — on the landlord's side. Legal review firms charge $350–$500/hr. Boojee provides AI-powered lease review and pure tenant advocacy — flat fee, 72-hour turnaround. Industry studies show commercial tenants who negotiate with independent review commonly improve terms by 10–25% vs. signing blind.

The Audit

What We Review

Every commercial lease hides leverage. We find it across six critical domains before your signature locks it in. Pair with Legal Consulting for full contract review and entity protection alongside lease negotiations.

Rent & Escalations

Base rent vs. market comps, annual escalation caps, CPI linkage, and free-rent periods you should be asking for.

CAM Charges

Common area maintenance exposure, admin fee markups, controllable vs. uncontrollable expense caps, and audit rights.

Buildout Allowance

Tenant improvement allowance sufficiency, construction timeline terms, landlord approval rights, and recapture provisions.

Exit & Sublease Clauses

Early termination rights, subletting and assignment consent standards, co-tenancy protections, and demolition clauses.

Personal Guarantee Terms

PG scope, burn-down provisions, entity isolation, and negotiating a good guy clause or limited liability structure.

Renewal Options

Fair market vs. fixed rent renewal, notice window obligations, ROFR and ROFO on adjacent space, and holdover penalties.

Real Outcomes

"I was 48 hours from signing a 7-year lease on my second location. Boojee found three CAM pass-through clauses with no caps and a personal guarantee with zero burn-down. The negotiation brief was so clear I handled the counter myself. We landed $2,100 per month less than the original ask — that's $176,400 over the term. The $998 was the best money I've spent this year."

FAQ

Common Questions

Can you negotiate a lease I've already signed?

Yes — and it's more common than you'd think. Lease renegotiation is viable when you have leverage: your landlord's vacancy rate is rising, you're approaching renewal, you've invested significantly in improvements, or you have a co-tenancy anchor that's left the center. Our review identifies which of these levers apply to your situation and builds a renegotiation playbook. We have successfully renegotiated executed leases for clients in all phases, from Year 1 to Year 6.

What types of commercial leases do you review?

We review office, retail, restaurant, warehouse, industrial, medical/dental, and mixed-use commercial leases. Our AI model has been trained on NNN, gross, modified gross, percentage rent, and ground lease structures. We do not cover residential leases or month-to-month arrangements.

How does the 72-hour turnaround work?

After you submit your lease and intake form, our AI analysis begins immediately. A senior Boojee advisor reviews the AI output, validates the market comp data for your metro, and finalizes your scorecard and brief. You receive your complete deliverable — PDF scorecard, negotiation brief, and suggested redline language — within 72 business hours of submission. Rush processing (24 hours) is available on request for an additional fee.

What kind of outcomes can lease negotiation realistically achieve?

Outcomes vary significantly based on market conditions, your leverage position, landlord motivation, and lease type. Industry studies show commercial tenants who negotiate with independent review commonly improve terms by 10–25% vs. signing without review. Some achieve direct rent reductions; others gain comparable value through TI allowances, free-rent periods, or better exit terms. We never guarantee a specific outcome, but we guarantee a clear-eyed view of your leverage and the strongest possible position going in.

Do you replace my attorney?

No. We are strategic advisors and negotiation support, not legal counsel. The Lease Review and Full Negotiation packages are not legal services. Our Full Negotiation package includes a handoff to a licensed real estate attorney in your state for legal review and final document sign-off — that attorney engagement is a separate relationship. We recommend always having qualified legal counsel review any commercial lease before execution. What we do is make that legal review faster, cheaper, and more targeted by arriving with a clear prioritized issue list already built.
