Building Operating Cost Addendum (BOCA)

Our Building Operating Cost Addendum ("BOCA") is designed to provide tenants, brokers and attorneys with language which will help protect tenants from the rising costs of building operating expenses. While there are many "exclusion lists" in circulation, many are excessively cumbersome and repetitive, making it difficult to negotiate the provisions into lease documents. Therefore, we have narrowed this list to approximately the top twenty-five issues which, when implemented properly, will give a tenant the protection it needs while also being reasonably acceptable to sophisticated landlords.

The downloadable BOCA documents below are CyberLease's most up-to-date versions(currently version34) of these documents. We have continually revised them over the years to reflect new issues uncovered in CyberLease's experience across the country. As the real estate industry and economic climate continually evolve, these documents will be frequently revised to remain on the cutting edge of the issues affecting tenants.
