6 TIPS IN RENTING AN OFFICE SPACE

1. Smaller is better

At Van Nuys Offices our small office for rent is our most popular size. Due to our excellent office rent packages including all utilities paid and free janitorial services, these small offices are often rented right away, within 2 weeks of becoming available. And great for starting a business. If you have good luck and your business picks up and you need more space. You do not have to worry because we will allow you to move to a bigger office.

2. Term of the Lease

With Van Nuys Offices rent packages you don't have to worry about long term commitment. Van Nuys Offices requires only a minimum of three (3) month lease. So Whether you are looking for a one-year lease or a 10-year lease, you have a good chance of getting your wish.

3. Do research.

Don't settle for the first office you look at. Schedule a day and write down a few addresses of building that have available offices and go see them. At the end of the day you will have 5 or 6 places to choose from and you will know what each of them requires. And based on your budget you will be able to make a decision on which office to lease.

4. Ask, Ask, Ask.

Asking a question never hurts. So if you feel you like an office but the price is real high. Ask for what you want. Make an offer. You might think landlords would never lower the monthly rent or give you the first few months free, but you'll never know unless you ask. Some landlords will be so eager to fill their space that even a discounted rent is better than no rent at all.

5. Deposits.

Many landlords know how some tenants can be destructive so, to protect themselves from having the property handed back to them a few months after they’ve put out a lot of money in tenant improvement dollars with a lot of damage, they will usually demand a significant deposit, often as much as 10% of the total lease amount. Don't try to avoid it. This is one thing that the landlord wants so he can feel he has something in case you damage the unit.

6. Location.

Depending on the line of business you're in check what's around. Do you need street visibility, do you need to be on the first floor because you need accessibility. Check the neighborhood at night. Does the building provide the adequate parking spaces. Check businesses around is there a high competition that would hurt your business and make it harder for you to jump start your business.
