====== Landlord ======
Met with Vanessa Altun (EDQ) and Heather Howard (CBRE) regarding the Lease and EOI
====== Lease ======
They rejected my offer of $12529/yr for rent and came back with $13337.76 ex
Includes:
* Proportion of outgoings
* Cleaning
* Fire services
* Rates
Does NOT include water charges, which is the amount I deducted off their proposal so that would be billed separately. (approx $550-$650/mo)
They will be sending the amended rates doc this week. Fundamentally, the total outlays will be paid regardless of inclusion in the terms sheet.
I have a draft copy of the lease. Much the same as last one but without some of the silly things, will need review.
Meeting invite forthcoming for the EOI discussion.
====== Safety inspections ======
Site visit last week. All safety concerns have been addressed and CBRE are glad to see progress.
Fire extinguishers will be up to date by the end of the month. Ongoing inspection is included in CBRE Rent.
