Portfolio Tenancy Provisions
As at 31 December 2009, turnover rent provisions were present in approximately 91% of the tenancies in the portfolio, with Subang Parade and Mahkota Parade recording both in excess of 90%. Step-up rent provisions were present in approximately 75% of tenancies within the portfolio. As Wetex Parade was acquired in May 2008, its expiring tenancies are being revised to include Turnover Rent and Step-Up Rent provisions, as appropriate.
A turnover rent provision allows for rent calculated as a proportion of annual turnover of the tenant’s business. Turnover rent is paid to the REIT if it exceeds the base rent specified in the tenancy agreement on an annual basis. A step-up rent provision is specified in tenancy agreements as a pre-determined increase in rent at defined intervals during a tenancy agreement, typically each year and forms the base rent of any tenancy agreement.
