Anya has a law degree and still nearly signed a bad lease once — because the space was right and she wanted to move fast. A slow month is recoverable; a lease clause you didn't read closely enough can follow you for the entire term. The five questions she asks every time, before getting emotionally attached to a space: the fit-out contribution, the exclusivity radius, the rent review trigger, the exit clause, and the maintenance split.
Each comes with exactly what to get in writing and the red flag to watch for. Bring this to your lawyer before you bring it to the landlord.
