Tenant Holdover Premium Calculator

Holdover rates deter over-term occupancy.

$

Total holdover rent

$202,500

Premium over base

$67,500

Monthly holdover

How the math works

Monthly holdover = base × multiplier. Total = monthly × months. Premium = total − base rent.

$45k × 1.5 × 3 = $202.5k total. $135k would be base × 3. Premium $67.5k — sharp deterrent.

How to Use

  1. Enter base rent.
  2. Enter holdover multiplier.
  3. Enter holdover months.
  4. Read total holdover rent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Holdover definition?

Tenant remains past lease expiration without renewal. Lease typically specifies holdover rent — typically 125-200% of base rent, sometimes 300%. Deters over-term occupancy and compensates landlord for lost re-tenanting options.

Typical multipliers?

Class A office: 150% (1.5x). Industrial: 125-150%. Retail: 150-200%. Prime space: up to 300%. Plus continued pass-through of OpEx. Holdover rent is the deterrent — most tenants vacate on time or sign holdover agreement.

Holdover agreement?

Short-term agreement for tenant to stay past term at specified rent (often 110-130% of base). Month-to-month typical. Prevents dispute. Allows landlord to market space while tenant completes relocation. Better than unilateral holdover.

What documentation matters here?

Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
