Why Arizona Companies Turn to Keyser for Early Lease Termination
Keyser represents tenants only — never landlords. That means your interests are our only priority. Our licensed Arizona real estate advisors act as your fiduciary, ensuring every decision aligns with your business and financial objectives.
Each engagement begins with a lease risk and opportunity analysis, reviewing your existing lease for provisions, notice requirements, and potential leverage. From there, we evaluate multiple exit options — including early termination, subleasing, or restructuring — and quantify your total exposure before any negotiations begin.
Our goal is simple:
Minimize penalties. Maximize flexibility. Protect your balance sheet.
Proven Strategies That Deliver Results
1. Lease Buyouts
We help tenants negotiate a fair buyout amount — often significantly less than the total remaining rent obligation — especially in markets where the landlord can readily re-lease the space.
2. Subleasing or Assignment
When permitted by your lease, subleasing or assigning your space can offset expenses while maintaining compliance with landlord approval requirements. Keyser coordinates the process to safeguard your interests and documentation.
3. Lease Restructure or Partial Termination
If staying in place makes operational sense, we work to modify terms, reduce square footage, or adjust rent schedules. This approach helps maintain continuity while lowering long-term costs.
What Sets Keyser Apart During Termination Negotiations
Tenant-Only Representation
Keyser is one of the largest commercial real estate firms in Arizona devoted exclusively to tenant and occupier representation. We never represent landlords or developers, eliminating conflicts of interest. We're not loyal to any parties you would negotiate against, ever. This level of advocacy can save you millions, especially during a termination.
See the three levels of conflicts of interest and how they impact your bottom line.
Data-Driven Negotiation Support
Our advisors use proprietary market analytics — including vacancy, absorption, and comparable lease data — to strengthen your position and demonstrate objective market value.
Local Expertise, Global Reach
With deep roots in Arizona and a network of international partners, Keyser supports occupiers with both local expertise and global coordination for multi-market portfolios.
The Cost of Waiting
Every month you delay addressing an unwanted lease increases your total liability — from base rent to operating expenses and taxes. Engaging a tenant-focused advisor early expands your negotiation options and helps prevent reactive decision-making.
If your current lease no longer supports your business strategy, now is the time to act.
