Michigan Commercial Lease Summary Eviction, Snow CAM & HVAC Replacement Redline Auditor

In Michigan, property taxable value increases are capped annually by the state’s "Proposal A" inflation formula—UNTIL the landlord sells or transfers the building, which triggers a statutory "Uncapping" that resets Taxable Value to 100% of State Equalized Value (often doubling the property tax bill in Year 2 of your lease). Combined with brutal Michigan freeze-thaw parking lot resurfacing and rooftop heating unit failures, unredlined Michigan NNN leases can double your occupancy costs.

Real-World Financial Loss Case Study & PreventionDocumented Loss: $410,000 denied fire claim & $38,400 HVAC loss

Building Owner Denied $410,000 Fire Claim Under ISO CP 04 11 Protective Safeguards & Billed $38,400 for HVAC

What Went Wrong (Unredlined Draft)

A commercial property binder carried an unredlined ISO CP 04 11 Protective Safeguards Endorsement (Symbol P-2 Central Alarm) and excluded mechanical breakdown. When a cellular monitoring relay lapsed prior to an electrical fire and rooftop HVAC compressor failure, the carrier invoked CP 04 11 to deny the claim.

What to Say to the Insurance Carrier / Underwriter & Lease Landlord

"Just like Prop 13 protection in California, we need protection against a Michigan Proposal A tax uncapping if the building is sold during our initial term, plus a 4% controllable CAM cap and exclusion for parking lot reconstruction and HVAC replacement."

Why they drafted it this way: When a Michigan commercial landlord buys or sells a shopping center that has been held for 15 years, Proposal A "uncapping" causes an immediate 50%–120% tax jump that they pass straight to tenants.

Mandatory Audit Checklist Points

Carve out Michigan Proposal A Taxable Value "uncapping" increases (MCL 211.27a) if Landlord sells the building

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, BOP & LEASE COI BINDER (POLICY NO. CBP-2026-8841)

THIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND GENERAL LIABILITY BINDER ("Binder") is issued as of November 1, 2026, by IRONSHIELD SURPLUS LINES INSURANCE COMPANY ("Carrier") to SUMMIT RETAIL & WAREHOUSE HOLDINGS LLC ("Named Insured") for the commercial premises located at 450 Industrial Parkway (Building Limit: $2,400,000; Business Personal Property: $650,000; Lease Landlord: OAKRIDGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES LLC).

SECTION 4. COINSURANCE CONDITION (90%) AND ACTUAL CASH VALUE (ACV) ROOF SCHEDULE.
All Building and Business Personal Property coverage under Form CP 00 10 is subject to a strict ninety percent (90%) Coinsurance requirement without an Agreed Value Endorsement. If at the time of loss the full Replacement Cost Value of the Building exceeds the Limit of Insurance multiplied by 90%, Carrier shall penalize and reduce any partial loss payout proportionally. Furthermore, pursuant to Endorsement CP 10 36 (Roof Surfacing Valuation Limitation), any wind, hail, or storm damage to roof surfacing more than ten (10) years old shall be settled strictly on an Actual Cash Value (ACV) depreciated basis rather than Replacement Cost, subject to a separate five percent (5%) Named Storm / Wind-Hail percentage deductible ($120,000 deductible per occurrence).

SECTION 7. PROTECTIVE SAFEGUARDS ENDORSEMENT (ISO FORM CP 04 11 — SYMBOLS P-1 & P-9).
As a condition precedent to coverage under this Policy, Named Insured is required to maintain in complete working order at all times: (a) an Automatic Sprinkler System (Symbol P-1) under an active central station supervisory contract, and (b) an Ansul / UL-300 commercial hood suppression system and central burglar/fire alarm (Symbol P-9). If Named Insured fails to maintain such Protective Safeguards in active operational status or fails to notify Carrier within 24 hours of any impairment or inspection lapse, coverage for Fire, Smoke, and Water Damage under this Policy is AUTOMATICALLY SUSPENDED immediately prior to and during the loss.

SECTION 11. ORDINANCE OR LAW EXCLUSION (CP 00 10) AND WATER/SEWER BACKUP SUB-LIMIT.
This Policy excludes all loss, cost, or expense caused directly or indirectly by the enforcement of any local or state Ordinance or Law regulating the construction, ADA compliance, seismic/sprinkler retrofit, demolition, or repair of any building (Coverages A, B, and C under ISO CP 04 05 are NOT attached). Additionally, coverage for water or sewage that backs up or overflows from any municipal sewer, drain, or sump pump is strictly capped at a $10,000 aggregate sub-limit per policy period, and surface water or wind-driven rain entering through roof flashing is excluded unless the building first sustains an opening caused by direct wind force.

SECTION 16. BUSINESS INCOME 72-HOUR WAITING PERIOD AND 30-DAY EXTENDED PERIOD CAP.
Business Income and Extra Expense coverage (CP 00 30) shall not commence until seventy-two (72) full hours have elapsed following the direct physical loss ("Waiting Period Deductible"). Once physical repairs are completed and the premises are restored, Extended Business Income coverage for post-reopening revenue ramp-up shall terminate strictly thirty (30) days after the date the property is repaired, rather than the 180-day or 365-day Period of Restoration required under Named Insured's commercial lease.

SECTION 22. BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED PRIVITY RESTRICTION (CG 20 33) AND LEASE COI MISMATCH.
Additional Insured status for any Landlord, Property Manager, or Mortgagee is provided solely via Endorsement CG 20 33 (Additional Insured — Owners, Lessees or Contractors — Automatic Status When Required in Construction Agreement With You), which requires direct written contractual privity and excludes premises lease obligations (ISO Form CG 20 11 Managers or Lessors of Premises is NOT attached). Waiver of Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against Others to Us (CG 24 04) and Primary and Non-Contributory wording (CG 20 01) are omitted from this Binder.

Optional — Deal Context or Special Concerns (e.g., "5-year retail lease in Texas" or "$40k fixed-fee dev build")

Frequently Asked Questions

What is "Proposal A Uncapping" in a Michigan commercial lease?

Under Michigan law (MCL 211.27a), a building’s Taxable Value cannot rise faster than 5% or inflation each year while owned by the same landlord. The year after the building is sold, the cap comes off ("uncaps") to match current market State Equalized Value—creating a massive NNN tax shock unless carved out in your lease.

Franchise 10-Year Personal Guaranty & Future Royalty Damages Playbook

When you buy a franchise (fast-casual restaurant, fitness studio, home services, medspa, childcare), the Franchisor’s standard 10-year Franchise Agreement contains a devastating double trap if your unit loses money and you have to close the doors: (1) a "Future Royalty Liquidated Damages" clause requiring you to pay 3 to 10 years of future royalties and ad-fund fees for a closed store; and (2) an Unlimited Personal Guaranty (often demanding your spouse’s signature too) so the Franchisor can put a lien on your family home to collect those future un-earned royalties.

Franchise Territory Encroachment & Captive Supplier Markup Playbook

Franchise Agreements boldly promise a "Protected Territory," but three sentences later carve out every modern channel: the Franchisor reserves the right to sell the exact same products inside your zip code via ghost kitchens, delivery apps (DoorDash/UberEats), grocery/retail channels, e-commerce, and "sister brands" acquired by the Franchisor’s private-equity parent. Simultaneously, the Mandatory Approved Supplier clause forces you to buy ingredients, equipment, and POS software from Franchisor-affiliated vendors at a 20%–35% markup with undisclosed kickback rebates paid to the Franchisor.
