Carve Out Reasonable Right to Scaffolding

It’s important to make sure that your tenant’s lease gives you the right to erect scaffolding. That’s because there may be a point in time when you need to repair, clean, or renovate the façade of the building, or because of local laws or regulations, and you may need to erect scaffolding on the building so workers can do the repair or renovation work. But tenants—especially retail tenants—typically don’t like scaffolding because it can block their stores’ visibility, thus harming their businesses.
