Explanation
A Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance is a landlord-funded amount to build out or customize the leased space for the incoming tenant. In Idaho commercial leasing, TI allowances are a key negotiating point: landlords may offer higher TI allowances in soft markets or for high-credit tenants signing long leases. The TI is typically a lease-up cost that the landlord amortizes over the lease term.
