Instacart Inc. needs 30,000 square feet of usable office space. There’s an office building in prime location in Inland Empire that has exactly the square footage it needs located on its top floor. The top floor has 100,000 square feet of rentable space, of which 50,000 square feet is currently used by other tenants. The rent that the landlord is charging is $8 per square foot per year.
(a) If Instacart is UNAWARE of any areas that are shared (a.k.a. common) by the tenants on the top floor (such as hallways, restrooms, lounge areas), it would expect to pay rent on ____ square feet of space which would result in ____ in total annual rent due.
(b) Now, assume that Istacart IS AWARE of common areas on the top floor. It is also aware that in this case the landlord would be charging all the tenants on the floor their prorated share of rent for those areas. In this case, Instacart would expect to pay rent on ____ square feet of space which would result in ____ in total annual rent due.
The landlord can rent their space on a pro-rata basis. The tenants are required to pay rent only for the area used by them. Tenants are not allowed to access the area which is not rented by them. All expenses related to the area are divided on a pro-rata basis.

Terms of the lease call for rent payments of $9, 525 per month for the first five years, and rent payments of $11, 325 per month for the next five years. The tenant must pay all operating expenses. During the remaining term of the lease, there will be no vacancy and collection losses; however, upon termination of the lease it is expected that the property will be vacant for three months.
