Some leases give the square footage of the tenant’s space, or they include floor plans with dimensions from which you can calculate the size of the space. But giving square footage numbers—or including a floor plan with dimensions—could be ammunition for a tenant eager to walk away from its lease or cut its rent. If the tenant can prove that your numbers are wrong, it may claim that you’ve violated the lease by misrepresenting the size of its space. The tenant may convince a court to let it out of the lease or lower the rent.
