BOMA Clause Samples

The BOMA clause defines how the measurement of rentable or usable space within a commercial property is determined, typically by referencing standards set by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). In practice, this clause ensures that both landlords and tenants use a consistent methodology for calculating square footage, which can affect rent, operating expenses, and space allocation. By referencing BOMA standards, the clause eliminates ambiguity and potential disputes over space measurements, ensuring transparency and fairness in lease agreements.
