PROJECT CHECKLIST PART SEVEN: ESTABLISHING TEN­ANT POLICIES

Good relationships require well-considered policies. Here are a few of the many tenant policy questions you'll want to ask:

• How will you schedule use of common facilities such as conference rooms?

• Are you going to charge your tenants for common area costs, or will those be included in their rents?

• Whose responsibility will it be -- yours or tenants' -- to perform common maintenance, such as sweeping the front sidewalks?

• How will you bill tenants for utilities? Will tenant utilities be included in the rent? Will your building’s spaces be separately metered?

• How will you monitor the business health of your existing commerical tenants?

Even with good policies, commercial relationships can grow complex. So next, let's take a look at the advanced art of handling tenant problems.
