Lease negotiations can be a circus

Ever had a tenant’s expectation that made you question your reality? I recently had a client who thought an office space should come with free snacks and daily cleaning services included in the lease. It’s like trying to negotiate with a toddler over candy! What’s the wildest tenant request you’ve fielded during lease negotiations?

I once had a tenant ask for a pet unicorn as a ‘unique amenity.’ :joy: What’s next, a trampoline room? Seems like some requests get wilder every year.
