Finding and leasing commercial space for your Boston Metro area business can be tricky. There are many factors to consider when choosing a space for your business. Researching a prospective landlord is one important step that can help you avoid future headaches. It’s important to make sure that the landlord is a good fit for you and your business. Here are some ways to check out the landlord before signing the lease.
One great way to find some background information on a landlord is to talk with current tenants. Check in with other business owners in the building and find out if they are happy with their lease. You might ask what they like or dislike about the management, or if there are any problems with maintenance. Taking a few moments to ask around could save you from future issues.
Court records can also be a great source of information. By searching the name of a prospective landlord, you’ll be able to see if there are frequent court appearances. If so, you may want to reconsider – it’s a plus to have a landlord that can settle issues outside of the court room.
Finally, the best way to research a prospective landlord is to enlist the help of a commercial broker or tenant representative! An experienced, local tenant representative will be able to inform you of any warning signs in a lease, saving you from thinking “Why Did I Sign That?” at a later date. A tenant representative will also know what concessions to ask for to save you money. If you don’t know what concessions to ask for, most landlords won’t offer them!
