Workouts of Office Leases—OSB CLE Quick Call
1 General CLE credit
As businesses seek to control costs by downsizing their workforces and taking other steps, they often look to their office and retail leases as potential sources of savings. Demands by commercial tenants to renegotiate or work out their leases have put pressure on landlords to maintain their rent rolls where they can, renegotiate where they must, and not trip defaults in their own mortgage obligations. This program explores the practical economics of working out office and retail leases, from the vantage point of both landlords and tenants, including what each can reasonably expect from the other and major tax and landlord mortgage considerations.
