Negotiate Tenant’s Waiver of Declaratory Judgment

Occasionally, a tenant that is displeased with something at the space it leases will ask a court for declaratory relief. This is a judgment from a court declaring something about the lease provisions, such as who is responsible for a certain thing if the tenant and owner are disputing responsibility. But you can avoid a trip to court in some cases by negotiating with the tenant for it to waive its right to ask a court for declaratory relief on one or more lease terms.
