What is required of the Tenant as a condition for Aerus Franchising, LLC's consent to enter into the Lease?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a condition for Aerus Franchising, LLC's consent to a lease agreement between the tenant (franchisee) and the landlord is that the tenant ensures a Lease Rider is executed and becomes part of the lease. This Lease Rider is an attachment to the lease agreement, which includes specific terms and conditions related to the Aerus franchise.

This requirement ensures that Aerus has certain protections and rights related to the leased premises. The Lease Rider likely contains provisions that allow Aerus to protect its brand and business operations at the location. It also allows Aerus to maintain some control over the location even though they are not a direct party to the lease agreement.

For a prospective Aerus franchisee, this means they must work with their landlord to incorporate the Lease Rider into their lease agreement. This may require negotiation with the landlord, as they will also need to agree to the terms of the rider. Franchisees should carefully review the Lease Rider with their legal counsel to understand its implications and ensure it does not conflict with other terms of their lease or franchise agreement.
