TI Allowance

Definition: Tenant improvement allowance; landlord contribution toward build-out costs.

TI allowances are often quoted per square foot over a lease term and may require reimbursement with paid invoices and lien waivers. Unused allowance rarely converts to rent credit unless negotiated.

Compare gross rent plus net TI out-of-pocket to alternatives; a high allowance with high base rent may cost more than a lower allowance deal.
