Off Campus Lease Requisition Form
To provide a coordinated effort in the leasing markets, an Off Campus Lease Requisition Form must be completed and submitted to the Vice President for LBRE prior to negotiating lease terms. The Managing Director of the Real Estate department of LBRE or an approved real estate advisor may be directed to assist the requestor. For questions related to the Off Campus leasing process or its related forms, use the contact information at the bottom of the Off Campus Lease Requisition Form.
Off Campus Lease Approval Form
Real Estate leases are considered long-term financial obligations of the University. Therefore, all new Off Campus real estate leases must be included as a capital request in the Capital Planning Process. The Capital Planning Process is managed by the Vice President for Land, Buildings & Real Estate (LBRE) and is managed in conjunction with the annual budgeting process for the University. Departments are required to submit their capital plans and requests for debt to the Vice President for LBRE for approval.
Real Estate searches and/or negotiations initiated outside the Capital Planning Process must be approved by the Vice President for LBRE per Administrative Guide Memo 5.2.5. Reviewing the Guide Memo provides critical reporting and leasing information that must be adhered to. Those considering looking for space to lease Off Campus are directed to utilize, as appropriate, the Off Campus Lease Requisition prior to negotiating leases, or the Off Campus Lease Approval (pdf) for lease extensions or renewals.
