Virginia Commercial "Deed of Lease" (Va. Code § 55.1-1200) & NNN Cap Redline Auditor
In Virginia, commercial leases over 5 years have historically been styled as a formal "Deed of Lease" under the Virginia Code. Northern Virginia and Richmond landlords use heavy institutional Deed of Lease forms that waive statutory notice to quit, enforce a 24-month statute of limitations waiver under "Seal," and allow uncapped Operating Expense pass-throughs including capital lobby and elevator modernizations.
Small Business Hit With $29,500 Year-End NNN Reconciliation Spike After Building Resurfacing & Sale
An office/retail tenant signed a lease with no annual cap on Controllable CAM and no capital expenditure exclusion. After the shopping center changed hands, the new landlord repaved the parking lot, hiked property management fees to 15%, and passed through a $29,500 year-end NNN reconciliation bill.
RedlineCore™ inserts a strict 4% non-cumulative annual cap on controllable Operating Expenses, excludes capital replacements, and caps admin fees at 4%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Virginia commercial leases titled "Deed of Lease"?
Historically under Virginia’s Statute of Conveyances, a lease for a term of more than 5 years was required to be in the form of a Deed. While Virginia modernized Va. Code § 55.1-101 so a lease is no longer invalid solely for lacking a seal, landlords still style contracts as a "Deed of Lease under Seal."

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.
