Contracts & Other Agreements

Contracts are defined based on the location type and on the occupancy of the head premises or sub-premises. These factors determine whether a contract needs to be created, as well as the type of contract. The possible contract types are:

Head lease: The principal lease for the head premises or the principal leased area. This lease only encompasses the terms that are part of the lease contract. Users can only have one active head lease per premises.
Internal contract / Other Agreement: An internal contract/agreement (also referred to as a secondary contract/agreement), is created when the legal entity linked to a head premises enters into a contract with another division from the same group for the occupancy of part or all of the principal leased area.
External contract / Other Agreement: An external contract/agreement (also referred to as a secondary contract/agreement), is created when the legal entity linked to the head premises enters into a contract with an external company for the occupancy of part or all of the principal leased area.
Other Agreement: Other agreements are created for terms that are not part of the initial lease contract. For example, you may have a separate contract with a janitorial service for your leased office space. Users can add as many other agreements as they would like. Note that percentage rent is not available for other agreements.
