established office tenant needs new floors- who pays?
We have a NNN commercial office lease and have to replace the floors (they are coming undone, tiles falling off, etc). we have been there for &gt;10 years and plan to stay for 10+ more.

the cost will be \~50K for the entire rented space. 

I'm not sure we have a TIA (tenant improvement allowance). how will the cost typically be handled in the absence of that clause? tenant pays everything? is it reasonable to ask the landlord for an allowance or contribution toward these improvements? would that be typical or customary? 

thanks!!!
