Frequently Asked Questions:
Percentage rent is an arrangement where tenants pay a base rent plus a percentage of their gross sales. This incentivizes landlords to support tenants’ business success.
This type of lease is commonly used in retail settings, especially for high-volume businesses like those in shopping centers, but can also apply to smaller businesses benefiting from high foot traffic.
Tenants may enjoy lower base rents and flexibility during slower sales months, allowing them to pay less when business is down, which can help with cash flow management.
Tenants should research market rates, consider the stability of their sales, and negotiate for favorable terms like lower breakpoints or caps on rent increases to balance affordability with potential growth.
