What is a Work Letter?

A work letter is a letter signed by a commercial landlord and a commercial tenant spelling out the issues related to the “build-out” of the tenant’s space. Sometimes the work letter comes as a separate letter, while other times it is included as an “exhibit” attached to the lease.
