This Agreement is not assignable, delegable, sublicenseable or otherwise transferable by any party in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party (or parties). Any transfer, assignment, delegation or sublicense by a party without such prior written consent is invalid. However, any party may assign this Agreement to a third party purchasing: (a) majority control of the party's equity shares; or (b) all or substantially all of either (i) a party's assets or (ii) the assets of the party's relevant business unit under this Agreement.

This Agreement is not assignable, delegable, sublicenseable or otherwise transferable by either party in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party. Any transfer, assignment, delegation or sublicense by a party without the other party's prior written consent is invalid.

The address should be as exact as possible, including building number, floor, suite, and any other information needed to avoid a later dispute as to the location being acceptable to both the landlord and the tenant.

It is important to specify the square footage of the Leased Premises to avoid later disputes about the size of the rented space.

It is important to clearly indicate how parking will or will not be handled, and whether any additional space is included, such as landscaped areas, roadways, driveways.

The parties should clearly state whether the rent is paid monthly or annually, when the rent is due, whether or not a security deposit is required, and what must be done before the security deposit will be returned.

"Permitted Use" limits the tenant to using the leased premises for a particular need so that the landlord can ensure that the premises are suitable for the tenant and the tenant does not use the premises in any way that could cause problems for the landlord or any other tenants.

Sometimes a broker or realtor will represent the landlord, or the tenant, in arranging the lease. In that case, it is important to clearly specify which party is responsible for paying the commission.

Sometimes a tenant wants to sublease the Leased Premises to a third party, particularly if the tenant wants to move before the Term has ended, or no longer needs to use the entire Leased Premises space.

A "fixture" is anything that is affixed to the Leased Premises so that it can be thought of as part of the premises. A fixture is usually cemented, plastered, bolted, nailed or screwed to the premises, such as a newly installed sink. When the tenant leaves the Leased Premises (often called "surrenders") at the end of the lease agreement, the agreement normally makes clear whether any fixtures installed by tenant are now the property of the landlord, or need to be removed by the tenant. Usually fixtures become the property of the landlord.

All personal property of the tenant (e.g., furniture) should be removed prior to the end of the Term. However, from time to time a landlord may find that the tenant left personal property after the end of the Term. In this situation, normally the landlord gives the tenant notice to remove the personal property within a certain number of days, and, if the tenant fails to do so, then the landlord will take ownership of the property and may dispose of it.

From time to time, the landlord needs to enter the Leased Premises to make repairs or show the Leased Premises to possible future tenants.

The "Term" means how long the contract will be in force.

An "Evergreen" term, also referred to as an "Automatic Renewal" means that once the term comes to a certain date in the future, it automatically extends for an additional time period or repeated additional time periods until either party sends notice that the term does not renew anymore.

"Termination for Convenience" means a party's right to terminate the agreement at any time for any reason at all (or even no reason), and is usually accompanied by advance written notice.

A "Force Majeure" event is an event that occurs which causes the landlord or tenant to be unable to comply with the Agreement, and the event is beyond the landlord or tenant's reasonable control. An example would be a tree falling on the roof in a thunderstorm and causing the roof to leak, causing ongoing water damage in the apartment. Typically, the landlord is responsible for addressing this problem as soon as reasonably possible, and failing to do so results in either the tenant being able to terminate the Agreement, or the tenant not having to pay rent until the problem is redressed.

"Assignment" means the right to transfer the contract, or a right or obligation under the contract, to a third party. Usually, this is prohibited or limited to a third party buying the shares or assets of a party to the contract.
