Property owner leased more space than they have available….
Long story short….I signed a commercial lease about 3 months ago in Texas. It is a multi unit commercial building with me being the 6th tenet that completely fills the building. When I signed my lease, there was approximately 6,000 sq ft available. This was getting divided by myself and two other tenets. I signed my lease for 1980 sq ft. 

I’m the last tenet to get in there and start construction, and the remaining space available is only 1780 sq ft, so 200 sq ft less than what I signed for. As far as I can tell by the measurements I have taken, the other two tenets, who are under construction, have the proper dimensions per the site plan. But what is remaining for me and my business is 200 sq ft less than what the property owner planned for, and what I signed for.

The property owner is currently investigating and looking for a “solution”. And before I consult my attorney, I thought I would get some insight if this is something that happens and somewhat common? And what recourse I could potentially take? 

Thank you in advance for any replies! 🙏

People pay for space they don\u2019t use all the time, such as lobbies, elevator shafts, walls, columns ect. This is more often a problem with office space. My guess is that a little was taken for the demising walls and not accounted for in the space plan and since you are last you got the short end of the stick. \n\nUsually the ll does not want a rent reduction but would take some free rent in exchange. If your space was reduced by 10%, six months free on a five year deal seems fair. \n\nBest of luck", "replies": [{"id": "hi82t9p", "text": "It\u2019s likely this.
