What is a Lease Abstraction?

Pulling together a lease abstraction can be a monumental task. Having to comb through mountains of leasing documentation, financial, and management information full of legal speak and non-standard formatting is time consuming.

A commercial real estate lease abstract is a summary of information found within the lease regarding the property, landlord, tenant, and guarantors information along with lease dates and legal descriptions.

A good lease abstraction will also include unit square footage, current rent amounts along with future rents, including option rents, abatements or any reductions; security deposits, rent provisions for recovery, maintenance, taxes.

Lease abstracts often summarize:

  • Lease renewal options
  • Exclusive use or termination clauses
  • Real estate taxes
  • Tenant refusal options
  • Ground leases
  • Expenses the tenants owe the landlord
