English term or phrase: break
Multi-let office building in central Paris.
120,000 sq ft
Lease pattern 3/6/9 year, breaks every three years

Question: My understanding of the last sentence is that lease is available for 3, 6 and 9 year periods, and lease must be renewed every three years- is this correct?

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
Break here means that at the end of the 3rd, 6th and 9th years both Parties (I assume) have the opportunity to either break (cancel) or renew the lease.

renewal option + rent review


Explanation:
The lease will not be automatically renewed, but it will be subject to review.

The tenant may decide to renew or cancel the lease. If the tenant decides to renew the lease after 3 years, the rent will often increase.
