Getting tenants to leave their space when the lease ends can be a difficult and costly proposition. For one thing, you may have to initiate an eviction suit to get the tenant out. And if you’ve already re-rented the space, holdovers expose you to the risk of being sued by the new tenant for failing to deliver the space on time. All of this makes the holdover rent rate a crucial issue in typical lease negotiations. If a tenant is in a strong bargaining position, you may have to give in on rates.
