All of the carriers have begun building and upgrading their cell sites for 5G. That means thousands of sites across the country will need to among other things swap out antenna, add fiber internet and or add back generators. For many sites, upgrades require the consent of the landlord to have contractors come on site to conduct the upgrade.

Landlords need to be aware of their rights and the rights of their tenant. Improvements that call for the use of additional space for example typically comes with additional rent paid to the landlord, if they ask. That said, if the tenant can get additional space they’ll take it. That’s why landlords should have any request for consent reviewed by a cell site professional who understands the request and to determine if any additional rent is due to the landlord.
