Core concepts
Concept 1

Exam cue: Start with the clause, then build the evidence and calculation.
Concept 2

Exam cue: Separate the evidence date and lease terms from headline comparable rents.

Concept 4
A review file should preserve calculations, evidence, negotiations, notices, agreement and implementation in the rent account.
