Commercial Lease Requirements
Commercial Lease Requirements can delay occupancy when a COI is missing, expired, or does not match the lease language. We help landlords and property managers set clear insurance terms and keep tenants compliant without endless back-and-forth.
Partnered with 100+ carriers to help you find the best value.
Clean COIs keep move-ins on schedule. Coverage keeps risk where it belongs.
Most delays happen when lease language, endorsements, and certificate details do not line up. A single mismatch can trigger rejections, extra emails, and missed deadlines. The right setup makes compliance predictable: clear requirements, correct entity naming, required endorsements issued upfront, and renewal tracking so coverage does not lapse mid-lease.
What insurance do landlords typically ask for in a lease?
Commercial Lease Requirements typically start with general liability limits and proof of coverage before keys are released.
Most leases call for a baseline set of policies (often general liability, property, and sometimes auto or umbrella depending on operations), plus specific limits and wording that match the lease. Landlords also commonly require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) showing the landlord or property manager as the certificate holder, and they may require additional insured status when liability could flow upstream.
We help you turn lease language into a clear requirement checklist that tenants and their brokers can follow the first time, reducing move-in delays and rework.
Why do COIs get rejected by landlord compliance teams?
Most COI rejections happen for predictable reasons: the legal entity name does not match the lease, limits are wrong, dates are off, or required endorsements are missing.
Common sticking points include additional insured endorsement wording, primary and noncontributory language, waiver of subrogation, and notice requirements. A COI can show intent, but the actual endorsement language is what typically satisfies the contract, and that language has to be issued correctly by the carrier.
We review your lease requirements and flag what is realistic, what needs an endorsement, and what tenants should request from their carrier to avoid last-minute surprises.
How do you run tenant COI compliance across a portfolio without chaos?
Commercial Lease Requirements are easier to enforce when certificates, endorsements, and renewals are tracked in one place.
The operational pain is usually not the initial COI, it is what happens after move-in: expirations, policy cancellations, tenant entity changes, subtenants, new vendors, and inconsistent requirements across properties. The result is administrative drag and silent risk gaps.
We help standardize requirements across locations, define a repeatable intake and review workflow, and set clear follow-up rules so your team spends less time chasing documents and more time managing the property.
