of their free time and the rent or which may represent the tenant’s largest
single financial obligation.
此句中，关系副词where引导一个非限定性的定语从句，修饰home一词。而且在该从句中还含有一个定语从句，由关系代词which充当介词for的宾语，其先行词是rent，
该词由定语从句for which may represent the tenant’s largest single financial obligation修饰。
4. a well-run property 经营得好的物业
5. … with services and utilities available…在此短语中available作后置定语，意为“可以得到的服务设施”。
6. as low as possible 尽可能低
7. …because residential rentals are not tax deductible as are business
rentals…
在此句中，as 承接前面的句子，意为“像……一样”，as引导的从句主谓倒装。例如：
He plays football, as does his uncle. 他和他叔叔一样会踢足球。
8. on the other side of the coin 就另一方面而言
9. under continual pressure 处于不断的压力之下
10. high occupancy 指房屋的出租率高。出租率高，意味着物业治理好，它会给业主带来丰厚的回报。

物业治理英语第三讲：Office Building Management
The property manager of an office building must be familiar with more complex
lease provisions than those used for residential properties. For example,
the office building tenant is very much aware of paying a rent rate measured
by the square foot, and so the measurement of space becomes an important
consideration. One frequently used measure is rentable area or rentable
space. The manager must understand how to compute it. For example, are
the bathrooms and hallways an added “load factor”, with the tenant paying
for her individual space plus her “share” of these common areas? Does the
manager measure a tenant’s space to the inside wall, the outside wall,
or the center of the wall? In addition, escalation and cost-of-living-clauses
are common in office buildings and frequently are negotiated with each
individual tenant. The answers are in the leases. The property manager
must be enough of a lawyer to read them, enough of an engineer to be sure
the services (e. g., elevators) work as promised, enough of a marketer
to sell to the tenant on the quality of the services he provides, and enough
of a financial accountant to report it al to the owner.
When leasing space, the property manager should bear in mind that the value
of an office building is directly related to three interlocking elements:
(1) the rate per square foot, (2) the quality o the tenancies, and (3)
the length of the leases. The higher the rental rate, the higher the gross
income. The more creditworthy the tenant, the more assured the owner may
be that rents will be paid. Finally, the longer the lease term, the lower
the risk of vacancies and turnover problems in the future. With longer
term leases, it is more important to have appropriate escalation clauses
or expense pass-through provisions, for the opportunities to increase base
rent to cover increased operating costs are less frequent.
In office building management, service is particularly important. The property
manager is responsible for making sure the premises are kept clean and
secure, that elevator run reliably, that utilities work, and that the structure
looks (and is) well maintained. To many office tenants, the amount of rent
is secondary to the efficient provision of these services.
Today’s larger buildings are getting “smarter”. They have computerized
controls to handle heating and air conditioning loads to minimize energy
consumption. Elevators are programmed to meet peak loads. The fire system
is tied to the public-address warning system, sprinklers, and air pressure.
Infrared sensors may turn lights on and off as they sense people entering
and leaving rooms. Telecommunications using fiber optics can create data
highways between distant locations either in concert with public telephone
systems or independently. Telecommunications options are expensive and
can be cost-justified only when operating management helps tenants ensure
their full utilization.

Notes
1. The property manager of an office building must be familiar with more
complex lease provisions than those used for residential properties.
此句中有一个比较结构more complex lease provisions than those used for residential
properties，those在此代替前文所提到的lease provisions, 过去分词短语used for residential
properties修饰those, 作它的定语。
