Who Needs Lease Abstraction?
If you are reading this, you probably are looking to get leases abstracted. That said, here’s a quick look at who would need lease abstraction services and how it can benefit them for a better understanding.
Of course, first on the list are landlords.
1. Landlords
Lease abstracts help landlords access important and critical terms quickly and timely making it easy to manage administration as well as lease portfolio performance. This in turn helps maintain a viable and good tenant-landlord relationship.
2. Lease administrators or Property management companies.
As mentioned above lease management is an ongoing and tedious process, having access to accurate summaries of lease contracts helps streamline operations, provide better and timely services, and ensure a great tenant experience.
3. Real estate investment trust (REITs) and Legal counsel.
Lease summaries can help lenders, buyers, or investors as well as lawyers gain visibility into key tenant provisions, understand liabilities and limitations, conduct a quick due diligence, and assess risk factors in a timely and efficient manner.
4. Lease Accountants
Considering the new lease accounting regulation, having access to accurate and up-to-date financial information related to lease portfolio is absolutely invaluable in not just ensuring timely accounting but also compliance.
Why Do Lease Abstracts Reduce My Legal Exposure?
Lease abstraction when done efficiently helps stakeholders access important lease information as and when needed. It helps extract, interpret, correlate and summarize critical lease information in a user-friendly format.
The data becomes easily searchable and accessible which means you have complete visibility into contractual liabilities and financial information related to your lease portfolio, which enables you to make informed decisions and ensure timely action, minimizing risk of non-compliance or any breach of term.
This proactive access enables timely decisions and actions, reducing the risk of breaches, non-compliance, and legal complications.
