What are tenant improvements and betterments?

The buildout and permanent improvements a tenant pays for in a leased space, like the kitchen and finishes. They are usually the tenant's largest insured value.

Who insures my restaurant buildout?

Often the tenant, not the landlord, depending on the lease. Assuming the landlord covers it is a common gap. We read the lease and confirm responsibility.

How much coverage do I need for tenant improvements?

Enough to rebuild to value and, where needed, to current code. They are easy to undervalue. We confirm the values with you.

What tenant improvements are

When you build out a leased space, the kitchen, the finishes, the bar, the fixtures, those permanent improvements are tenant improvements and betterments. They are usually the most valuable thing a restaurant tenant owns, and they do not move with you if you leave.

Who insures them

Leases vary, but the improvements a tenant pays for are commonly the tenant's responsibility to insure, not the landlord's. Assuming the landlord's property policy covers your buildout is a frequent and costly mistake; the lease language decides it, and we read it with you.

Valuation and the lease

Tenant improvements are easy to undervalue, and a covered loss that requires rebuilding to current code can cost more than expected. We confirm the values, check whether ordinance-or-law coverage applies, and align the coverage with what the lease assigns to you.
