Maris Advisors — Lease Intelligence

Your Lease Has
Clauses That
Were Written
Against You.

The Lease Analyzer™ reads your commercial lease against 50+ universal provisions — plus a clause library calibrated to your industry across 26 specialized sectors — and delivers a clause-by-clause risk assessment before you sign.

A standard office lease and a semiconductor fab lease may look similar on the surface. The Lease Analyzer knows what DOD tenants must require that office tenants never think to ask for — and vice versa.

    ⚠ High Risk — Section 14.2
    Holdover clause triggers 200% of base rent with no notice period required. Industry standard is 150% with 30-day cure. This provision exposes you to $84,000/month in holdover liability if closing on your replacement space is delayed by even one day.
    Recommendation: Negotiate to 125% month-1, 150% month-2+, with 30-day written notice requirement.
    ⚠ High Risk — Section 22.1
    Assignment clause requires landlord consent "in landlord's sole and absolute discretion." This effectively blocks any M&A transaction, equity sale, or corporate restructuring without landlord approval — a known deal-breaker in acquisition due diligence.
    Recommendation: Require "reasonable consent, not to be unreasonably withheld" and carve out affiliate transfers, equity sales, and corporate restructuring events.

    The Lease Analyzer™ is an AI-assisted, informational issue-spotting tool provided by Maris Advisors, a licensed commercial real estate brokerage. It does not constitute legal advice, is not a substitute for review by an Arizona-licensed attorney, and creates no attorney-client, agency, or fiduciary relationship. Maris Advisors is not a law firm. The analysis may contain errors or omissions and must be independently verified against the actual lease. Any suggested or recommended language is illustrative only, is not attorney-drafted, and must not be inserted into a lease without review by qualified legal counsel. No lease should be executed, and no action taken, in reliance on this analysis alone. You are strongly encouraged to have any lease reviewed by licensed legal counsel before execution.

    Where Lease Analyzer Fits

    The earlier you engage it, the more you get to change.

    The Lease Analyzer™ reads the lease your landlord wrote. The same engine works at three different points in the deal — but the value it produces depends entirely on when you engage it. The earlier, the better.

    Pre-LOI Scrub
    Before you commit.
    The cheapest moment to fix anything in a lease is before the LOI is signed. The analyzer reads the landlord's draft against 50+ universal provisions plus your sector-specific clause library, flags every clause written against you, and builds the redline list before you've committed to anything. Walk-away leverage is still intact. Concessions cost the landlord, not you.
    Active Negotiation
    Round-by-round leverage.
    Every landlord redline gets analyzed against the same 50+ universal provisions and sector clause library. The analyzer doesn't just flag the issue — it produces the counter-language. What does the market actually accept? What's defensible? What's the carve-out the landlord won't fight over? This is where most tenant reps run out of substance. The Lease Analyzer doesn't.
    Mid-Lease Compliance
    Already signed. Renewal coming.
    Pull the executed lease back through the analyzer to surface time-bound rights before they expire silently — audit windows, expansion options, renewal notice triggers, ROFO rights, termination rights. These clauses lapse on calendar dates. Most tenants find out about them after the window has closed. The analyzer finds them while they're still actionable, and feeds the renewal strategy with what to fix next time.

    The Lease Analyzer™ reads the lease your landlord wrote. The earlier you engage it, the more you get to change — and the less leverage the landlord retains over your business for the next five to ten years.
