Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

Landlord's right to relocate tenant to comparable space in same building, typically to consolidate vacancy or accommodate larger tenant. Common in multi-tenant office. Landlord responsible for all costs: moving, new build-out, business interruption.

Cost components?

New build-out: $100-200/SF. Physical move: $5-20/SF. IT/phone reconfiguration: $5-25k. Marketing/stationery change: $5-15k. Lost productivity: variable. Tenant will seek comparable amenities, views, floors — not trivial.

Negotiation?

Limit landlord right to one-time, specific conditions (anchor needs). Require 90+ day notice. Allow tenant to audit new space. Full cost reimbursement specified. Rent reduction if new space smaller. Termination right if no comparable space offered.
