Rich Landlord . . . Poor Tenant was written by Forrest Blake to provide tenants rarely revealed information about how to effectively create leverage with landlords. After reading this book, and key decision makers who deal with the landlord and their agents will understand the components that go into a landlord’s decision to increase or decrease rent. Also, the book clearly exposes the tricks used to give upfront lease concessions and then take them away through clever lease provisions which grant the landlord the right to increase operating expenses, parking charges, load factor, and even square footage of the building you occupy.
