The Letter of Intent has both a legal purpose and a business purpose.
A Letter of Intent or term sheet allows the parties to confirm there is a meeting of the minds on key business terms before investing the time and expense of negotiating lease documents. However, it is important to underscore non-binding nature of a Letter of Intent. This video reviews the uniformity of letters of intent, and highlights key issues for the ease of drafting and negotiating leases.
