The number of cell tower lease agreements in the U.S. that are due to expire is growing at a fast pace. This is due to the fact that a majority of the contracts were first signed in the late 80s and early 90s. Current cell tower lease tenants are eagerly contacting their landlords with requests to either buy out the lease or to extend the lease for only a miniscule increase in monthly rent.
