Talk to your landlord . Landlords are important to the success of your business. A good working relationship is not only common sense, it is a partnership where both parties profit. The key is proper balance. A good landlord is experienced, responsive and concerned about the long-term relationship with tenants.
Good tenants maintain a position of trust and good faith.
Confirm your square footage measurement. Post-occupancy space measurement is a hot topic in commercial real estate today. While square footage is the common denominator of leasing there are subtle differences in interpretation by landlords and tenants. The central issue in measurement conflicts is methodology. For years, the majority of commercial space has been measured from floor plans, typically prepared by the owner's architect.
