Please Don’t Move Me!

A relocation clause gives the landlord flexibility to move a tenant to accommodate the needs of a larger prospective tenant. Unless the tenant can persuade the landlord to exclude such provision from the lease, it should negotiate tenant-friendly language to minimize business disruptions. Use this pro-tenant relocation clause in an office lease. See the Related Content section below for tenant-favored templates of other typical commercial lease clauses.
