A clause-by-clause guide to medical office and medical retail leases, written for founders and operators.
Most founders sign their first clinic lease having read it once, assuming the broker would have flagged a problem. Often the broker is paid by the landlord and is explaining what is market rather than what is good for you. Those are different questions.
This guide covers 26 clauses in plain terms. For each one: where to expect it, what it means, why it matters to a clinic specifically, and what a great, good, and bad outcome looks like. There is no contract language in it, by design. Drafting is your attorney's job. Knowing what to protect is yours.
It covers the terms that behave differently in healthcare. Build-out periods that have to survive a six to twelve month permit timeline. Assignment clauses that turn your own MSO structure into a technical default. Relocation clauses that are a re-licensure event for a licensed facility. HVAC surrender obligations that quietly buy your landlord a new rooftop unit on your way out.
