Florida Commercial Lease Redline Auditor (Windstorm Insurance & Accelerated Rent)
Florida commercial property insurance carries massive "Named Windstorm" deductibles (often 5% of the entire building’s replacement value = $250,000+). Standard Florida NNN leases allow the landlord to pass 100% of that hurricane deductible and skyrocketing insurance premiums straight through to tenants in a single year.
Medical Practice Lost $118,000 in Post-Repair Ramp-Up Revenue When 30-Day Extended Business Income Expired
After a pipe burst closed a clinic for 5 months, physical repairs finished on May 1—cutting off base Business Income immediately. Because ISO CP 00 30 Extended Business Income (EBI) defaulted to just 30 days, the carrier stopped paying while patient volume took 6 months to recover.
EndorseIQ™ extends Extended Business Income (EBI) from 30 days to 180–365 days on an Actual Loss Sustained basis and reduces waiting periods to 0–24 hours.

What to Say to the Insurance Carrier / Underwriter & Lease Landlord
"We understand insurance costs in Florida, so we need any Named Windstorm deductible amortized over 15 years with a $2,000 annual cap for our suite, plus a 120-day termination right if hurricane damage prevents us from operating."
Why they drafted it this way: Florida landlords face volatile coastal insurance markets and try to use NNN tenants to self-insure their 5% hurricane deductibles.

Can a Florida landlord charge tenants for a hurricane insurance deductible?
Yes, unless your CAM clause caps or amortizes insurance deductibles. Because Florida windstorm deductibles are percentage-based (3%–5% of building value), an uncapped pass-through can cost a small tenant $15,000+ after a single storm.
