How the math works
Free rent days = total delay − tenant-caused − force majeure. Value at daily rent rate.
Allocation negotiations determine whether a 60-day slip becomes 35 days of free rent or zero. Push tenant-friendly leases toward day-for-day with narrow force majeure; push landlord-friendly toward broad carve-outs and 1.5x or 2x multipliers only for egregious delays.
How to Use
- Enter target commencement date.
- Enter actual delivery days late.
- Enter delay allocation tenant/landlord.
- Enter base monthly rent.
- Read free rent earned and credit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Day-for-day standard?
Tenant-friendly leases: one day free rent per day of landlord-caused delay. Landlord-friendly: two-for-one after grace period. Mixed: first 30 days no credit, day-for-day thereafter. Negotiated based on market.
Force majeure?
Force majeure events (weather, strike, pandemic) often excluded from delay credits. Carve-outs determine whether tenant bears pandemic/strike risk or lands on landlord. Very negotiated post-2020 — document allocation clearly.
Tenant's own delays?
Tenant-caused delays (late drawings, long-lead specs, change orders) stop the clock on landlord credits. Most leases have tenant-delay clause requiring notice within 5-10 days. Documentation essential for enforcement.
