NEGOTIATION STRATEGIES FOR RENT REVIEWS

About This Course

When navigating rent reviews, a Commercial Property Manager must master the fine art of negotiation. Beyond understanding lease clauses and market trends, success lies in knowing the motivations and constraints of every party involved—from the finance manager calculating budget impacts to the solicitor guarding legal compliance, and the tenant rep aiming for the best deal for their client. With composure, preparation, and strategy, you can lead negotiations that protect the landlord’s interests while building strong tenant relationships.

You'll explore practical techniques to approach rent relief requests, counter competitive threats with confidence, and apply emotional intelligence to collaborative deal-making. With real tools, tactics, and case-based insights, this course empowers you to take a balanced, strategic stance in every negotiation scenario.
