Office leases typically provide that the landlord will furnish services without additional charge, including heat, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) during 'normal business hours.' Many leases specifically denote such hours, sometimes including up to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and also Saturday mornings.
In the Spotlight: How to Negotiate Overtime Payments for Services
Office leases typically provide that the landlord will furnish services without additional charge, including heat, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) during 'normal business hours.' Many leases specifically denote such hours, sometimes including up to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and also Saturday mornings. These hours are usually not controversial, but certain tenants sometimes negotiate the specific hours.
