When you're negotiating a lease with a strong tenant that wants an exclusive to sell certain merchandise at your center, it may demand that you agree not to rent space to any other store that has a “department” selling the prohibited merchandise. If you agree to this restriction, you may be setting the stage for a potential dispute with the tenant. That's because the term “department” is so vague that you and the tenant may not agree about its meaning.
