The Problem
Cotenancy violations happen.
Nobody notices.
Most retail leases contain powerful cotenancy protections — but landlords count on the fact that tenants aren't watching. By the time a violation is discovered, months of savings are already gone.
Violations go undetected for months
Without daily monitoring, occupancy can fall below your lease threshold for 60, 90, even 180 days before anyone notices — costing tens of thousands in unclaimed savings.
Lease clauses are complex and easy to miss
Cotenancy rights are buried in dense legal language. Knowing your threshold, cure period, and remedy waterfall requires active management most tenants simply don't have bandwidth for.
Anchor departures trigger rights you don't know you have
When a major anchor leaves your center, your lease may give you the right to dramatically reduce rent or exit entirely — but only if you act within a specific window.
Sample Lease Clause — §14.2(b)
In the event that less than seventy percent (70%) of the total inline gross leasable area is occupied for a continuous period of sixty (60) or more days, Tenant shall have the right to pay, in lieu of Minimum Rent, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Sales...
Current center occupancy:
62%
Violation Active — Day 3 of 60-day cure window. Est. savings: $6,400/mo
The Opportunity
Cotenancy violations are common.
Catching them is rare.
Most retail tenants with cotenancy clauses never exercise their rights — not because they don't have them, but because no one was watching. The data on what's left on the table is significant.

The Full Picture
The leverage doesn't stop
at base rent.
Retail tenants don't just pay base rent. CAM, Real Estate Tax, and Insurance pass-throughs typically add 10–25% on top — and in leases with gross-up provisions, that burden actively grows as center occupancy declines. A cotenancy violation creates leverage across the entire stack, not just the headline rent number.
The Stack
Four obligations, not one
Beyond base rent, tenants pay a pro-rata share of Common Area Maintenance, Real Estate Tax, and Insurance. Together these pass-throughs often add 10–25% to monthly occupancy cost — and they're rarely reviewed line by line.
The Gross-Up
When neighbors leave, your burden grows
Many landlord-form leases contain gross-up provisions that re-allocate operating costs across remaining tenants when occupancy drops. The cotenancy violation and the cost increase often arrive at the same time — by the same cause.
The Leverage
The violation reaches every line
A cotenancy violation creates leverage across the entire occupancy cost stack. Whether your lease extends the remedy to pass-throughs explicitly or whether it becomes a negotiation point during the cure window, knowing the full exposure is the difference between a clean reduction and a partial one.
How It Works
From lease upload to
legal notice in minutes
CoTenancyIQ handles the entire cotenancy lifecycle — from clause extraction to violation detection to AI-drafted legal action. Here's exactly how it works.
01 / ONBOARD
Upload your lease
Upload your retail lease PDF. Our AI reads and extracts your cotenancy clause — thresholds, cure periods, anchor requirements, and remedy language — automatically. No manual data entry required.
What gets extracted
→Occupancy threshold percentage
→Named anchor tenants and requirements

→Remedy waterfall (pct rent, termination)

→Inline GLA occupancy vs your threshold
→Named anchor open/operating status
→Cure period day count (automatically tracked)
→Occupancy trend direction (approaching threshold)
→Estimated rent savings if remedy elected
03 / ACT

Features
Everything you need to
exercise your lease rights.
CoTenancyIQ handles the entire cotenancy lifecycle — from AI lease parsing to daily monitoring to AI-drafted legal notices. Every feature is built for tenants and the professionals who represent them.
Daily AI Occupancy Scanning
Automated monitoring runs every morning across your entire portfolio. The moment occupancy drops below your lease threshold, you get an alert — not weeks later. Every property, every day, without lifting a finger.
Anchor Tenant Departure Alerts
Named anchor departures are tracked in real time. When a required anchor vacates or goes dark, CoTenancyIQ immediately flags which clients hold rights, the applicable cure period, and the estimated monthly savings available.
Exclusivity Clause Monitoring
Many retail leases grant exclusive use rights — restricting the landlord from leasing nearby space to competing businesses. CoTenancyIQ tracks new tenants entering the center and flags potential exclusivity violations the moment they’re announced.
Right of First Refusal Triggers
When a co-tenant vacates space subject to your Right of First Refusal, you typically have a 15–30 day window to claim it. CoTenancyIQ monitors vacancies across your ROFR-eligible spaces and flags activation the day they trigger.
Termination Right Calendar
Retail leases often contain multiple termination provisions — sales-based kick-outs, cotenancy-triggered exits, landlord recapture rights. CoTenancyIQ tracks the conditions and notice deadlines across your portfolio so a critical date never gets missed.
AI-Generated Legal Notices
Generate cure period notices, percentage-rent election letters, and termination notices in one click. Each letter is pre-populated with your property address, lease clause reference, violation details, and cure timeline — ready to review and send.
Cure Period Countdown Tracking
Never miss a critical deadline. CoTenancyIQ tracks every active violation's cure period down to the day — showing exactly when rent reduction rights activate, when the termination window opens, and how many days remain to act.
Lease Clause Intelligence
Upload any retail lease and our AI parses the cotenancy language — extracting thresholds, measurement basis, remedy waterfalls, and named anchors into a structured record. No attorney needed to understand what your lease says.
Multi-Client Portfolio Dashboard
Manage all your clients and properties from one screen. See portfolio-wide occupancy health, active violations, upcoming cure deadlines, and potential savings at a glance — with full per-client drill-down on every detail.
Violation History & Audit Trail
Every violation, alert, and generated notice is logged with timestamps and property context. Build a documented record of cotenancy breaches that supports your legal position if a dispute ever reaches negotiation or litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need technical experience to use CoTenancyIQ?
No. If you can upload a PDF and read a dashboard, you can use CoTenancyIQ. Setup takes under 10 minutes and requires no coding or technical knowledge.
Where does the occupancy data come from?
You can upload landlord-provided occupancy reports via CSV or PDF, or input data manually through the platform. Public business license data is used as a secondary signal.
Are the AI-generated notices legally sufficient?
CoTenancyIQ notices are designed to be legally precise, but we always recommend attorney review before sending. We are a technology platform, not a law firm.
Can I manage multiple client portfolios from one account?
Yes. CoTenancyIQ supports multi-client organization on every plan — each client gets its own properties, lease clauses, and violation history. Tenant rep brokers can manage every client portfolio from a single dashboard.
What lease types does CoTenancyIQ support?
Any retail lease with cotenancy provisions -- strip centers, regional malls, power centers, lifestyle centers, and mixed-use retail. If the clause is in the lease, we can monitor it.
How does the success fee work?
When a violation we identify results in a documented rent reduction, we charge 10% of the first year's savings as a success fee. No savings, no fee -- it's that simple.
