Red-team co-tenancy clauses before the lease is signed
Lesson 5 of 8 · Asset classes: know the deal beneath the deal
1 · Learn the move · Red-team audit
Co-tenancy and exclusive-use clauses are where a shopping center's rent roll quietly booby-traps itself. Sign the wrong coffee concept and an existing tenant's exclusive hands them a rent reduction or an exit. A red-team audit tells the model to attack the deal, not bless it: quote every trigger and remedy chain verbatim, run the prospect's use against every pasted exclusive, and treat silence as a gap rather than a green light. The output is a stack of questions for counsel, because interpreting the clause is their job. Finding it is yours.
Review these lease clauses and tell me if it's okay to sign this new tenant. [PASTE]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You manage leasing for a neighborhood center and have an LOI from a coffee-and-bakery concept. Before it goes further, you need the center's co-tenancy provisions and the other tenants' exclusives audited against the proposed use. Because one missed exclusive can hand an existing tenant reduced rent or a termination right.
