Roof leak
I just leased a store 2 months ago, had some rain and storms last couple of days and found it today ceiling is leaking and couple of ceiling tiles already on floor. I did contact the office property manger and she said same issue happened for different store in same plaza. And she contacted roof guy to have a look. I asked her of landlord will fix ceiling / wet carpet. But she said no he is responsible for roof only. Does this make sense ??

There's a very good chance LL is responsible for the roof only.  Might be a modified gross deal where the responsibilities are sometimes uncertain.  Hopefully the lease is clear(er) on the matter.  If this is the case, you can always ask the LL/PM to do the repair work and bill you back for it, perhaps spread it over a couple months.", "replies": [{"id": "fx9bpq6", "text": "He is responsible about roof only, but since damage happened because of roof leak, doesn\u2019t he suppose t fix it ??", "replies": [{"id": "fxbkutx", "text": "Because the in NNN commercial leases tenants are responsible for the interior of the space. Who knows why but that's standard. A lot of tenants have tenant specific fixtures and if the LL messes with it it can cause problems. I have tenants with custom ceiling tiles that are crazy expensive and hard to replace.\n\nIf you work at CVS just put in a ticket with your corporate and tell them the LL isn't responsible for interior and they'll come out and replace the tiles. CVS should be used to this, I have 4 CVS's in my portfolio and this is the deal with all of them.", "replies": [{"id": "fxbqr3w", "text": "No it\u2019s gross lease, and outside CVS", "replies": [], "depth": 4}], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fx9odtu", "text": "Ask landlord for compensation or better yet have the lawyer do it for you,", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
