Familiar
Laid out the way brokers and attorneys already read a commercial lease: the articles they expect, in the order they expect them. Nothing to relearn.
Protective
Written to the full depth a negotiated lease needs: insurance and indemnity, assignment, default and remedies, options, accessibility. Nothing left for later.
Digestible
The business terms sit up front as basic provisions, defined once and used consistently, so anyone can find what matters in minutes, not hours.
Purpose-built
Written for the way deals are done now: every blank is a typed field, so the lease negotiates, signs and becomes data without anyone retyping it.
The result: the most reliable, trustworthy and efficient way to get from first draft to signed lease.
Every article a real deal needs.
This is the actual table of contents of PACT’s Standard Multi-Tenant Office Lease. Nothing summarized and nothing left for later: insurance and indemnity, assignment, default and remedies, options, accessibility, all of it, with every blank a typed field.

Can I edit the form's language?
Yes. Every clause can be redlined, and the change is tracked so the other side sees exactly what you changed.
Do the forms work outside California?
