Read a sublease for deal-killers
Lesson 6 of 6 · Lease documents
1 · Learn the move · Flipped interaction
When your tenant asks consent to sublease, the clock in your lease may already be running, and the request package rarely contains everything the read needs: the proposed sublease, yes, but not the floor plan, not the subtenant's actual use, and not the conditions of approval that govern what your site may house. Flip the interaction. Before it reads anything, the model asks you a short set of questions whose answers change the read: the date the request arrived, the subtenant's use in its own words, whether the conditions of approval limit uses or parking. Then it reads for deal-killers from the landlord's chair: a use your lease or your approvals may not allow, a sublease term that runs past the prime lease, a recapture right you would lose by not electing, a profit-sharing clause the sublease ignores. Silence is NOT ADDRESSED. Whether the use fits the zoning is the planner's reading, and the lease meaning is counsel's.
Before you read anything, ask me up to five questions whose answers would change your read of this consent request. Wait for my answers. Then read the sublease against my lease and the conditions of approval I paste, from the landlord's side. Output DEAL-KILLERS, NOT ADDRESSED, FOR THE PLANNER, and FOR COUNSEL, every finding quoted and cited. [prime lease] [sublease request] [conditions of approval]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
Hollin Fabrication leases 18,000 SF in Flex Building A at Harrow Crossing and asks your consent to sublease half of it to Tessaly Physical Therapy. The request came by email with a draft sublease attached. Your lease has a consent section, a recapture right and a profit-share clause. The site's planned development approval limits uses in the flex buildings and sets parking ratios. You are not sure when the lease says the consent clock starts. Write the prompt.
