commercial lease - landlord prohibited uses

[Courtney Duong]

Hi all,

So I manage a retail strip (9 units, 2 are vacant now) in Cypress, TX. In each of the lease that we are having with all of our current tenants we have a Landlord Prohibit Uses list below. Last week we had some showings for 1 vacant unit (1237 SF) and yesterday received an LOI from 2 guys who want to lease it for a cigar shop. Looking at the landlord prohibited uses list below, toward the end of the list we have 'smoking or vape store' as being prohibited so I am wondering if a cigar shop is the same as smoking shop, therefore we can't lease to a cigar shop? Or cigar shop and smoking shop/store are totally different and we can definitely lease to a cigar shop?

Thanks in advance for any feedbacks.
