Most new lease transactions contain some type of tenant improvement Oceanside, or TI allowance, to be provided by the building owner. Mistakenly, many tenants assume this allowance will not only cover all the costs associated with their design, permitting, and construction of the TI’s but that it can be used to pay all the ancillary costs associated with relocation to a new facility. This is a very common and inaccurate assumption. Landlords typically address the TI allowance, and their strict rules for its proper use, in an addendum to the lease, called a Work Letter. This section of the lease spells out the terms and conditions associated with the TI allowance, including how much is going to be paid and by whom, what those funds can be applied towards, and how and when they will be distributed. Unfortunately, most TI allowances only cover three categories of expense: (I) design, engineering, and project management fees, (II) permit fees, and (III) actual construction costs.
