What sort of equity stakes do management teams at PE-backed companies typically get?

Market for MM transactions is equity packages for mid to top level management equivalent to 8-12% of equity value at time of transaction.

If you’re in a position to ask, I would try and find out if the PE buyer built in a preferred return structure. If so, the equity options are leas valuable because you would not get any proceeds until the PE folks hit their return hurdle.

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
