Lease Provision Database
Integrating Your Green Initiatives into the Lease
Just as is the case with other financial, legal or operational agreements between the landlord and tenant, it is important that green initiatives are properly structured within the lease. The Green Lease Provision Database is meant to provide the user with examples of lease language and concepts (sample provisions relating to building certification, transportation, water use, energy use, maintenance, and recycling are provided) as they pertain to a user’s particular occupancy situation (single tenant vs. multi tenant) or specific objectives (energy utilization, recycling , etc). These lease provisions are not intended to be used without the input of a qualified attorney who is experienced in commercial leasing matters.
