What to ask
Requests for lease administrators, tenant reps, attorneys, and acquisitions and lending teams. Attach the document and ask in your own words; these are a place to start.

Lease administration
Abstract a lease
Attach the lease with everything that changes it: amendments, side letters, a commencement date letter. Separate files are fine. Try it on the sample office lease and its first amendment.
Abstract this lease.
Key terms, the rent schedule, critical dates and risk flags, each cited to its clause.
Here’s the lease, amendments 1 through 3 and the commencement date letter. Abstract them as one.
The terms in force today, each citing the amendment that set it, with the replaced values kept. The signed letter fixes the dates the lease leaves open.
Abstract this lease, and also capture parking, signage rights and the generator clause.
Your extra fields join the abstract, quoted and cited like the rest.
Save our abstract template: Tenant, Suite, RSF, Commencement, Expiration, Current Base Rent ($/RSF/yr), Renewal Options, Notice Address. Use it for the Excel export.
Excel and CSV exports follow your fields, order and labels, ready for your own abstract form or system import.
Export the lease accounting inputs for ASC 842.
A workbook of the dates, term, fixed payments, options and incentives, each cited, with a monthly schedule of fixed payments. Judgements the lease can’t settle, such as the discount rate, are left to you.
Tenant reps, brokers and attorneys
Ask about the lease
Once a lease is in the chat, ask about it as you would a colleague. Add “Quote the clause” to see the exact wording, then check it against the highlighted source in the abstract.
What’s the last day we can give notice to renew, and how is the renewal rent set?
Is there an early termination right? What does it cost, and when is notice due?
Can the landlord relocate us? On how much notice, and who pays for the move?
Does a change of control count as an assignment? Quote the clause.
If we sublease, can the landlord take the space back instead?
Who pays to replace the HVAC, the roof and the structure?
Are operating expenses capped? What’s left out of the cap?
What’s the holdover rent, and does it go up the longer we stay?
When does the security deposit reduce, and what has to be true for it to?
How big is the improvement allowance, and when do we lose what we haven’t used?
Portfolio and asset managers
Work across leases
Abstract up to 10 leases into one portfolio, then ask across them.
Abstract these eight leases and show them as a portfolio.
One view of every lease, compared side by side, with each lease’s full abstract a click away.
Which of these leases have a notice deadline in the next 12 months?
List each tenant’s expiration and renewal options, soonest first.
Which tenants can terminate early, and what would it cost them?
Acquisitions, asset management and lending
Review a deal
Needs Deal Review
Send rent rolls and operating statements as Excel or CSV when you have them, so every figure links to its cell. Try it on Bayview Court’s offering memo, T12, rent roll and appraisal, or Harborview Tower’s estoppel and CAM reconciliation with its lease and rent roll.
Check this OM against the T12 and rent roll.
Each headline claim marked supported, different or not in the documents, with the cells behind it.
Is the memo’s NOI in-place or pro forma? What does the T12 actually support?
Tie this rent roll out against the leases. Flag every unit where the rent, area, lease end or deposit doesn’t match.
Each unit beside its lease clause, with the differences flagged.
Check this rent roll. Do the units add up to the totals?
Every unit, vacant ones included, cited to its row, with the totals re-added.
Check this T12. Which months look off?
Every total and NOI re-added month by month, with months that break from the rest of the year flagged.
This statement has a prior-year column. Check both years.
Abstract this loan agreement.
Rate, maturity, extension options, reserves, covenants and reporting deadlines, each cited to its section.
What do we have to meet to extend the loan, and when is the notice window?
When are financials due to the lender, and what’s the DSCR covenant?

The appraiser’s figures marked supported, different or not in the documents, with the direct capitalization redone.

Each tenant’s statements beside its lease clause and rent roll row, with the differences and the tenant’s own claims flagged.

Getting good answers
- Plain requests work. No special wording or long instructions. Say what you need, as you would to an analyst.
- Keep asking in the same chat. Follow-up questions use the document already there, so there’s no need to attach it again.
- Check before you rely on it. Open the abstract and approve or flag each item against its highlighted source. Then export a PDF abstract, Excel, CSV, a calendar of critical dates, lease accounting inputs or the lease with its cited clauses highlighted.
- Scans need text first. Run a scanned PDF through text recognition (OCR) before you attach it.
