Which of the following describes a covered leasehold interest under the Leaseholder Interest Coverage Form?

• A. Prepaid rent
• B. Unused prepaid rent
• C. Unused part of tenant improvements
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

A Leaseholder Interest Coverage Form protects the tenant’s financial stake in a lease when a covered loss occurs. A covered leasehold interest includes amounts the tenant has prepaid or would lose because the space can’t be used under the lease: prepaid rent, the portion of that prepaid rent that remains unused if the lease ends early, and the unused portion of tenant improvements funded by the tenant. Because these items represent money already paid or invested that would be lost due to the damage, they’re all included. That’s why all of the above describes a covered leasehold interest.
