have no idea about airports and lounges, and Im
certainly not in real estate, but doesn’t the landlord and tenant negotiate based on their needs. While certainly many rent agreements are a flat monthly rent fee, I think there are many commercial agreements that also incorporate rent and X% of sales. Obviously, the latter scenario would be less of a flat monthly compared to the former, where that is the only source of revenue for the landlord.
