This is fancy marketing language for taking money out of your pocket and into the pocket of their client, Rogers, by saving Rogers money on future rent payments.

Should you be discussing your Rogers lease at this time?

This is a common question we receive and often the answer is no. No you should not be discussing your lease at this time because there are too many years remaining on the lease.

If your cell tower lease has about two years left on it until lease expiration, then it is worth discussing your cell tower lease with Rogers and MD7. If your cell tower lease has by example ten or twenty years left on it – then it is a waste of time to discuss amending your agreement.

Only begin discussing your agreement when you are in a position of leverage. With a long period of time left on your agreement, you have no leverage. So it does not make sense to entertain modifying your agreement.
