Property Management

In commercial leasing, 'usable square footage' differs from 'rentable square footage' in that:

AA. Usable is always larger than rentable
BB. Rentable includes the tenant's proportionate share of common areas; usable is only the tenant's exclusive space✓ Correct
CC. They are always identical
DD. Usable includes all common areas; rentable is only private office space

Explanation

Usable square footage is the tenant's exclusively occupied space. Rentable square footage adds the tenant's proportionate share of common areas (lobbies, corridors, restrooms). Tenants pay rent based on rentable square footage.
