Michigan Commercial Lease Summary Eviction, Snow CAM & HVAC Replacement Redline Auditor
In Michigan, property taxable value increases are capped annually by the state’s "Proposal A" inflation formula—UNTIL the landlord sells or transfers the building, which triggers a statutory "Uncapping" that resets Taxable Value to 100% of State Equalized Value (often doubling the property tax bill in Year 2 of your lease). Combined with brutal Michigan freeze-thaw parking lot resurfacing and rooftop heating unit failures, unredlined Michigan NNN leases can double your occupancy costs.
Retail Tenant Billed $38,400 to Replace Landlord’s 19-Year-Old Rooftop HVAC Unit in Month 7
A medical spa signed a 5-year NNN lease accepting the premises "AS-IS" with full responsibility to "maintain, repair, and replace HVAC systems." Seven months after opening, the 19-year-old rooftop compressor died and the landlord forced the tenant to pay $38,400 for a brand-new 20-year unit the landlord kept.
RedlineCore™ flags "replace" and "AS-IS" HVAC language, shifting capital replacements to Landlord (or capping Tenant HVAC exposure at $1,500–$2,500/year with 15-year GAAP amortization).

“Michigan Proposal A Tax Uncapping & CAM Protection: (a) Real Estate Taxes passed through to Tenant during the Initial Term shall exclude any increase in Taxable Value resulting from a "transfer of ownership" or Proposal A uncapping event under MCL 211.27a(3) caused by Landlord’s sale or refinancing;
What to Say to the Property Insurance Carrier / Desk Adjuster
"Just like Prop 13 protection in California, we need protection against a Michigan Proposal A tax uncapping if the building is sold during our initial term, plus a 4% controllable CAM cap and exclusion for parking lot reconstruction and HVAC replacement."
Why they drafted it this way: When a Michigan commercial landlord buys or sells a shopping center that has been held for 15 years, Proposal A "uncapping" causes an immediate 50%–120% tax jump that they pass straight to tenants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Proposal A Uncapping" in a Michigan commercial lease?
Under Michigan law (MCL 211.27a), a building’s Taxable Value cannot rise faster than 5% or inflation each year while owned by the same landlord. The year after the building is sold, the cap comes off ("uncaps") to match current market State Equalized Value—creating a massive NNN tax shock unless carved out in your lease.

Franchise 10-Year Personal Guaranty & Future Royalty Damages Playbook
When you buy a franchise (fast-casual restaurant, fitness studio, home services, medspa, childcare), the Franchisor’s standard 10-year Franchise Agreement contains a devastating double trap if your unit loses money and you have to close the doors: (1) a "Future Royalty Liquidated Damages" clause requiring you to pay 3 to 10 years of future royalties and ad-fund fees for a closed store; and (2) an Unlimited Personal Guaranty (often demanding your spouse’s signature too) so the Franchisor can put a lien on your family home to collect those future un-earned royalties.
Franchise Territory Encroachment & Captive Supplier Markup Playbook
Franchise Agreements boldly promise a "Protected Territory," but three sentences later carve out every modern channel: the Franchisor reserves the right to sell the exact same products inside your zip code via ghost kitchens, delivery apps (DoorDash/UberEats), grocery/retail channels, e-commerce, and "sister brands" acquired by the Franchisor’s private-equity parent. Simultaneously, the Mandatory Approved Supplier clause forces you to buy ingredients, equipment, and POS software from Franchisor-affiliated vendors at a 20%–35% markup with undisclosed kickback rebates paid to the Franchisor.
