Before producing any abstraction output, load Lease Abstraction DDD for field definitions, allowed values, and data types. The DDD defines all 258 fields across 25 sections — including their types, descriptions, and structure — and is the authoritative source for what each field means. Skipping this step will produce abstractions with incorrect field semantics, missing required fields, or wrong data types.
Lease Abstraction = Systematic extraction and organization of critical lease terms into a standardized summary format for portfolio management, compliance tracking, and decision support.
Purpose:
Section taxonomy and field definitions are authoritative in the DDD. Summary of the 25 sections (1-21 extracted from the lease, 22-25 derived/analytical):
Extracted (1-21)
Derived (22-25) 22. criticalDates 23. financialObligations 24. keyIssuesAndRisks 25. notesAndComments (optional)
Must-Track Dates:
Notice Requirements: Typically require written notice 30-180 days in advance
Obtain:
Organize: Chronological order (original → amendments)
Read sequentially:
Key Insight: Schedule G often overrides standard form provisions - read CAREFULLY
Use standardized template:
Section | Provision | Page # | Key Terms | Notes
Example:
Base Rent | Year 1-5 | Page 3 | $20/sf/year | Escalates 2.5% annually
Free Rent | Months 1-3 | Page 4 | 3 months | Abates base rent only (pays opex)
Renewal | 1 × 5 years | Page 8 | Market rent | 12 months notice required
Look for:
Create timeline of all notice deadlines and obligations:
Date | Event | Action Required
--------------+------------------------+----------------------------------
2025-12-15 | Lease Commencement | Tenant takes possession
2026-03-01 | Rent Commencement | First rent payment due
2029-12-15 | Renewal Notice | Deliver notice to exercise option
2030-12-15 | Lease Expiry | Tenant must vacate or renew
