Tax Escalation Clauses

Leases have the advantage of providing long-term stability for you and your renter. But sudden real estate tax increases can destroy a carefully calculated rent and turn a lease upside down, eliminating the net income you were banking on. Is there anything you can do?

We review the section of the law that applies. Attendees will learn the exact wording in our "Optional Clauses." Finally, we discuss whether escalators should be invoked routinely or only in case of emergency.
