The Tax-Exempt Entity's Property and a Lessee's Private Purpose
State and local governments grant tax-exempt status to properties that are used for certain activities, including religious and charitable purposes. Properties owned by government and educational institutions are tax-exempt as well, and these exemptions can extend to lessees of such property under certain circumstances, such as when the property continues to be used for a public purpose and such use is related to the function of the lessor entity.
Questions arise, however, when a tax-exempt property's use by a lessee involves an element of private profit. Is the tax-exempt status lost? Does that answer change if only a portion of the property is used to generate income for a privately-held entity?

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
