When it comes to finding the perfect office space to rent for your company, even something as simple as knowing where to begin is challenging. There are several considerations to take into account, but finding the right property management partner makes everything easier. Before hiring someone to help with your office space rental search, you should ask them a few questions.

Best Questions to Ask Commercial Property Managers

How many other tenants do you have?

Most commercial real estate doesn’t have only one company on-site, so your business will likely have neighbors. The property manager is responsible for each business, and you should know how many other tenants there are. This information is helpful because someone who has a full building can’t always show enough attention to your business.

Are there any extra fees?

Sometimes it seems like you’ve found the perfect commercial rental, only to find out later that there are hidden fees. These raise the total cost and cause trouble for your business later. Before signing the lease, make sure you understand how much the office space will cost.

What are the maintenance guidelines for common areas?

If the office space has a common area shared by other businesses, you must understand the rules for maintaining those spaces. Most often there is a fee included in the commercial lease that is split equally among the businesses within the building. Alternatively, the building may employ an in-house cleaning service as a convenience.
