One con of this is that landlords have been known to be lazier in these leasing agreements.

This lease helps the tenant when sales are weak and helps the landlord when sales are strong. It’s important to know what type of lease you prefer before going into your property search. Even though your first choice for office space may not offer the type of lease you want, you can sort your other options by weighing the different types of leases they offer.
