Base Year contract clause examples

Base Rent. For the first year of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in good funds representing lawful currency of the United States for the payment of debts monthly in advance on the first day of each month unless a different period of time and method of payment is hereinafter provided Base Rent of $51,776 per month. The first twelve-month period in which rent is herein payable and each twelve-month period thereafter is hereinafter referred to as a “Lease Year”. The first Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the term of this Lease, January 1, 2017, and shall end on December 31, 2017. For the second Lease Year and for each Lease Year thereafter, the monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted so that it is equal to the monthly Base Rent in effect at the end of the immediately preceding Lease Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) (1982-1984 = 100) for the immediately preceding December, and the denominator of which shall be the Consumer Price Index for the month of December immediately preceding the beginning of the prior Lease Year. As used herein, the Consumer Price Index means the Consumer Price Index – All Cities Average Urban Wage Earners as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor of the United States, or if no longer published, that index as determined by Landlord which most closely reflects the components of the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The Base Rent, as adjusted, shall remain in effect until the next adjustment period and shall be paid in twelve equal monthly installments. In no event shall the monthly Base Rent, as adjusted, be less than the monthly Base Rent for the period immediately prior to such adjustment period. In the event that the amount of such adjustment cannot be calculated prior to the effective date thereof, the monthly Base Rent for the period prior to the effective date of such adjustment shall continue to be paid by Tenant. As soon as Tenant shall be notified of the amount of the adjustment, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days, pay to the Landlord the difference between the monthly Base Rent, as adjusted, for all monthly periods occurring in whole or in part after the date such adjustment was to be effective and the monthly Base Rent actually paid. Thereafter the monthly Base Rent, as adjusted, shall be payable by the Tenant as herein provided.

Base Rent. Commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord and Landlord shall receive, without notice or demand Base Rent as specified in the Basic Lease Information, payable in monthly installments in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month, in lawful money of the United States, without deduction or offset whatsoever, at the Landlord’s Rent Remittance Address specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. At Landlord’s election, and upon written notice to Tenant, all payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by Electronic Fund Transfer of immediately available federal funds before 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at such place, within the continental United States, as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing. Base Rent for the first full month due on the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be paid by Tenant upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If the obligation for payment of Base Rent commences on a day other than the first day of a month, then Base Rent shall be prorated and the prorated installment shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the Base Rent Commencement Date. The Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder is subject to adjustment as provided elsewhere in this Lease, as applicable. As used herein, the term “Base Rent” shall mean the Base Rent specified in the Basic Lease Information as it may be so adjusted from time to time. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations.
