What are alterations with regards to a building?
What happens if the Tenant makes major changes to the premises and then vacates, leaving the Landlord with an expensive mess to cleanup? What if the improvements do not meet code requirements, or were constructed without permits? That is the reason for this clause. Typically, the landlord simply reserves the right to approve all of the construction work done to the Tenants premises. Tenant shows Landlord the plans and permits, Landlord gives approval. A Tenant should always assume that the cost to resume the property to its original state is their own.
