Lease Administration

The ongoing management of active lease obligations — tracking critical dates, reconciling CAM charges, processing rent payments, and maintaining lease abstracts — throughout the life of a commercial lease portfolio.

Extended Definition

Lease administration encompasses every activity required to keep a portfolio compliant with its lease obligations after execution. Core functions include: monitoring renewal, termination, and notice deadlines; reviewing and disputing annual CAM reconciliations; processing rent escalations; maintaining accurate abstracts and rent roll data; managing estoppel and SNDA requests; and coordinating with legal and finance teams on lease events. The stakes are high — missed notice deadlines forfeit options permanently, unchallenged CAM overbilling compounds annually, and stale abstracts generate financial model errors. Lextract supports lease administration by surfacing structured, searchable data from abstracted lease documents.
