Problems With GSA's Management Of

Lease Renewal Options




GAO identified seven cases during a 4-year
peOiod where the General Services Adminis-
tration missed exercising lease options and
an.ther case, now in litigation, where the
lessor contends GSA missed exercising the
op, ion. These cases could result in addi-
tio ial costs for higher rent in excess of $30
mi lion. The problem was caused by
  1--erroneous data and a program defi-
  ciency in GSA's information system,
  ,--human error and/or carelessness, and
  --nonstandard procedures.

GjA officials have made a concerted effort
to minimize recurrence of the problem. If
G$A continues to devote sufficient man-
agoment attention to lease renewals and
im lements the recent recommendations of
its Inspector General, GAO believes that the
ch nces of missing future lease renewal
op ions will be reduced.
