Based on standard commercial lease drafting patterns in landlord-prepared retail, office, and industrial leases. These clauses are common because they are presented as standard — most tenants sign them without requesting changes.
Consider a typical retail lease: $14,000/month base, seven years, standard personal guarantee clause that reads "Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full and timely performance of all Tenant obligations during the entire Lease Term."
At Month 36, the business runs into trouble. The owner wants to exit. She had an attorney review the lease — the attorney confirmed there were no illegal clauses. What didn't come up: the personal guarantee has no burn-off provision, no dollar cap, and no good guy clause.
The LLC offers no protection here. The personal guarantee overrides it. Without a burn-off negotiated in before signing, she is personally liable for every remaining month of the lease.
With a good guy clause negotiated in before signing, the story is different: provide six months notice, vacate in good standing, personal liability ends on move-out day.
LeaseLens flags full-term personal guarantees, calculates your maximum exposure at each year of the lease, and identifies whether a burn-off provision or good guy clause is present.
| Situation | Personal exposure |
|---|---|
| Exit at Month 36, full-term PG, no good guy clause, landlord takes 6 months to re-let | $117,000+ |
| Exit at Month 36, full-term PG, no mitigation (worst case) | $552,000 |
| Exit at Month 36, good guy clause in lease (6 months notice at base rent) | $69,000 |
| Exit at Month 36, burn-off to 12-month cap after Year 2 | $138,000 max |
| Cost of the report that flags this before you sign | $75 |
