Lease Negotiations

Emergency meeting to discuss Arjen’s 3 additions to the current lease proposal from Ed:

  • After October, we pay $250 a month for electric if new meter hasn’t been installed by end of October.
  • We install our own water meter on our sole intake, report gallons to Ed, with 20% increase to account for error.
  • We propose $7300 per month instead of $8000 per month for 2023.

Idea to add sentence opening up ability to discuss 2023 rent, instead of locking in for $8000 now - “allowance” to negotiate.

[vote on proposing final change to wording of lease, if not accepted, accept the lease as is]
