Covenant to Stay Open Sample Clauses

Covenant to Stay Open. In retail leases, this constitutes one of the more important lease provisions. A retail landlord, particularly in a shopping center, as opposed to a single store location, will insist that the tenant not only pay the rent but also actively conduct business with the public at the premises. For one thing, the tenant must generate sales in order to produce percentage rent, but even where a lease does not call for percentage rent, the landlord wants each retail tenant to open for business in order to help generate customer traffic in the shopping center for the benefit of all other tenants. For these reasons, a re- tail landlord should require the tenant to agree to open for business with the public at least during specified minimum hours. A well-drafted operating covenant will require the tenant not only to open, but also to keep the store fully stocked and staffed in a manner consistent with commercially reasonable retail practices. The underlying commercial dynamic that provides the rationale for operating covenants in retail leases is not present in the office lease context. No percentage rent is payable under an office lease and office tenants, for the most part, do not particularly care if other space in the building is actually occupied. In fact, vacancies might prove desirable by providing potential expansion space and lessening competition for limited parking facilities. Therefore, the office tenant should refuse to agree to any requirement that it stay open for business in the premises. An office landlord may argue that it needs the operating covenant to avoid the negative appearance of a vacant building. The tenant can address this concern by agreeing to light exterior offices during customary business hours. Another compromise would be to allow the landlord to recapture the premises (i.e., terminate the lease) as its sole remedy for the tenant’s failure to conduct business in the premises, but in this event the tenant will want to recapture the unamortized portion of its investment in leasehold im- provements. Even in the retail context, strong tenants will negotiate this limitation on the landlord’s remedies for a fail- ure to operate. The tenant’s attorney must be alert to the possibility of a stay open requirement “hidden” or implied in the permitted use clause. If the permitted use clause states, “The Tenant shall use the Premises for general business offices,” the landlord could argue that the tenant has agreed to use the premises for office p...
