T-Mobile Lease UPDATE: Pensacola, Florida - Jan. 5, 2026. T-Mobile cell site landlords are encouraged by Tower Genius, the USA's premier wireless lease consultancy, to consider selling their rooftop leases especially in urban markets.
Between 2011 and 2015, approximately 10,000 T-Mobile cell sites were upgraded to the 4G network, and since then in 2026, they are almost all on the 5G network. Since then as you've probably seen in TV advertisements, T-Mobile is promoting it's "5G Network" as the best thing since sliced bread. Even though many of T-Mobile's cell towers are now owned or controlled by Crown Castle, there are thousands of T-Mobile rooftop cell sites that are directly under T-Mobile management and ownership. We told our clients and former clients in urban markets to consider selling their rooftop leases. Now we are telling the general public.
Will you be ready? Many T-Mobile cell site landlords are going to be getting rent reduction letters or phone calls notifying them of their choice to participate in a voluntary lease optimization program or have their lease possibly terminated.
T-Mobile rooftop landlords are going to be faced with a choice in 2026.Expect the T-Mobile 5G rent reduction offer to be presented to you through a third party consulting firm such as Md7 or the Lyle Company as something that is a matter of right for the carrier and that you need to quickly approve or sign off in order for you to retain the T-Mobile cell site and rental stream at your property.
They have very crafty consultants (script readers) working for them who are compensated to get this done for them with incentives. They will push back in an attempt to wear you down and get you to agree the the lease optimization rent reduction proposal. That is why you need someone who is knowledgeable, independent and savvy enough to consult for you and guide you who “speaks telecom” and who is a wireless industry expert like Tower Genius .
Even if you are a sophisticated wireless landlord or real estate mover and shaker, it is imperative you hire an experienced cell site consultant to review and help guide your negotiations of these T-Mobile cell site amendments or lease buyouts.
