Adjust for premises size and use. - **No self-negligence indemnity**: Do not require a party to indemnify against its own negligence — unenforceable in many U.S. jurisdictions. - **Assignment consent**: "Not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed" is market standard. - **Cure periods**: Non-monetary defaults: 30 days with extension for diligent cure. Monetary defaults: 5–10 days after written notice. - **Jurisdiction flags**: Mark unlawful detainer procedures, self-help remedies, recording/notary requirements with `[CONFIRM JURISDICTION]`. - **Defined terms**: Capitalize consistently; collect in Article 1 or define inline at first use. - **Balanced drafting**: Neutral tone protecting both parties unless instructed otherwise. - **Table of contents**: Include if lease exceeds 10 pages.
