Abstract:

One of the primary components of real property asset management is the contractual arrangement between landlords and tenants i.e. the lease. In certain parts of the world (Australia, UK) the structures of leases have been significantly changing as a reflection of property markets and in particular recessions. Lease lengths generally have been reducing, Greater flexibility has been introduced with more break clauses and dilution of user, keep open and repair clauses. This research will be confined to select buildings for case studies to examine green practices in commercial buildings.
