- Chapter 26 Tenant Improvements; Work Letters
Chapter 26 - § 26.6 • WORK SCHEDULE
Jurisdiction | Colorado |
Work letters usually specify in detail the schedule for completing the tenant finish. The schedule is important because it usually ties to the commencement date of the lease. Often, the date the obligation to pay rent starts is also tied to the completion of the tenant finish. If the tenant can hold the landlord to a fixed date for completion of the landlord's work, the tenant may be able to exact from the landlord a penalty, such as one day of free rent for each day of delay or an amount of liquidated damages for each day of delay. A tenant may also seek actual and consequential damages for a delay, which the landlord will resist. The landlord usually wants extensions for delays caused by the tenant or matters outside its control.

2) Preparation of the space plan;
3) Preparation of architectural drawings and plans and specifications;
4) Selecting the contractor(s) (and perhaps some of the major sub-contractors) who will bid for the work;
5) Getting an estimate or putting the work out forbids;
6) Negotiating the construction contract(s); and
7) Completing the work.
§ 26.6.2—Landlord's Approval
After each step, the work product is submitted to the landlord for approval. It is better for both parties that the landlord gets involved early in the process, so the tenant does...
