Under certain circumstances, you could get stuck with a big bill for a brokerage commission or transfer taxes if your tenant assigns its lease or sublets its space. For example, you may have a listing agreement with a broker that entitles it to a commission for any transaction involving your building or center. Or a tenant may fail to pay real estate transfer taxes due on an assignment and leaves you with the problem of getting rid of the resulting lien on your building or center. Paying brokerage commissions and real estate transfer taxes could get very expensive.
