Good overall perspective on anything and everything leases. Do note that this is mostly in the perspective from the lessee, but is also very applicable to those interested from the lessor-side of things.

While the speaker was good at explaining concepts, I felt the course lacked a sense of cohesion. There was not a smooth flow from one topic to the next.

Very good lease terminology course. Wish there were a couple more definitions covered (ex. Estoppel) but course is very effective for beginners.

The last module, SDNA, was very valuable to me. I have never heard of those terms and would have confused it with a standard NDA.

This was a great refresher before beginning the steps to renew office lease since we only do this every 7-10 years.
