Rental business. Commercial real estate for rent - all secrets

The rental business has been and remains popular for many years, as many people do not have the opportunity to purchase housing, and companies seek to reduce the level of lump sum investments in the development of activities. The range of those facilities that can be rented is constantly growing: at the moment, you can even rent things like roller skates, skis, etc. - all that is not in constant demand, but is subject to seasonal use.

However, the most common option is still renting a property. In order to receive a certain income from providing this or that premise for rent, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances that will be considered in this article.

You must understand that real estate is usually classified into 3 groups -   land, housing and non-residential premises. The most common types of services in this market are the provision of rental housing and non-residential premises.

Among non-residential usually rent commercial property. Moreover, all reputable analytical agencies distinguish the following varieties of it:

  • office rooms;
  • trading;
  • warehouse
  • industrial.

In addition, some organizations rent a separate type of premises - the category "for special purposes". Here, buildings stand out for kindergartens, schools, hospitals, churches, etc.

In addition to real estate, you can rent land, gazebos, equipment, cars, special equipment, inventory and much more. However, this is a rarer and more complex form of business.

What is the most profitable?

If we talk about residential real estate, the average cost of a one-room apartment 10-15 minutes from the metro in a residential area in Moscow will cost 5-6.5 million rubles. Moreover, the average rental rate for such rooms is about 25-30 thousand rubles. As a result, in the calculations it can be obtained that the minimum payback period for a one-room apartment is about 15 years.

Accordingly, this option cannot be called very profitable from the point of view of investments: the only case in which it can really pay off is when the housing was inherited.

If we talk about office premises, they are somewhat more expensive than residential premises, since their location should be in more passable places, and their area is higher. In Moscow, a small office space will cost 6.5-7.5 million rubles, provided that the area is about 60-70 square meters. In this case, the rental rate in this case will be considered per 1 square meter.

According to Knight Frank, at the end of 2015, the rental rate for Class A offices was about 25 thousand rubles, and for Class B office premises about 15 thousand rubles a year. Accordingly, the maximum payback period will be about 8 years.

Renting commercial premises is even more profitable than office premises - their payback period is   5-6 years old. But there is an important limitation: for such real estate, location is one of the key factors. The room should be located in the central area, in a place with a high level of traffic. Finally, it must be of high quality.

In general, commercial real estate loses residential property in only one parameter: the level of risk, since it is dependent on the economic situation in a country and a particular city.

On how to start and how to develop such activities, see the following video:

How to organize such a business from scratch?

  1. First of all, you need to find a suitable rental space. In case of inheritance of the living space, the procedure will begin with the execution of documents confirming that the entrepreneur is the owner of the housing.
  2. In a situation of finding a finished building, it is best to turn to the services of professional agencies that will help assess the real value of housing or commercial real estate: an inexperienced businessman can easily miscalculate.
  3. Next, you need to draw up the necessary documentation for the property. In the event that it is commercial real estate and it is planned to lease it to special organizations (for example, those working in the field of public catering), it is necessary to take care of obtaining additional permits and conclusions of certain services.
  4. After the initial documentation is completed, it is necessary to carry out redevelopment and repair: in the case of residential real estate, it is important to purchase a certain set of furniture and household appliances, since apartments in which you can live immediately after settlement can be offered at a higher cost. In the case of commercial real estate, it is important to focus on increasing free space and the ability to carry out subsequent redevelopments for the client's needs.

In Russian practice, many people rent residential real estate without concluding an agreement - this allows you to get rid of personal income tax in the amount of 13% and reduce the payback period. However, this involves certain risks - in particular, those associated with customer unreliability. Therefore, both in the case of non-residential, and in the case of residential real estate, it is necessary to formalize the relationship with the tenant.

Where to look for customers?

Searching for customers through standard advertising options (placing ads in crowded places or print media) is not effective within the rental business. Advertising can be carried out through social networks (especially with regard to the situation of renting residential real estate) - the effect of “word of mouth” will be triggered here.

In addition, placement on thematic sites and forums is suitable. For retail premises, especially those located in shopping centers, it is possible to post an “for rent” ad with the owner’s phone number. This will expand the circle of potential customers to all visitors to the shopping center.

Finally, there are 2 more effective ways to find customers - maintaining a thematic website or blog with unobtrusive advertising services as a lessor, as well as distributing prospectuses and business cards.

Required costs

In the event that an entrepreneur intends to engage in such a business, he must understand that among the main cost items it is necessary to include redevelopment costs: in this case, customers are ready to conclude lease agreements at much higher rates (the difference can be up to one and a half times). This is because after redevelopment, the percentage of usable area most often grows, in addition, the premises can be changed to fit your own needs.

Among the costs it is also necessary to highlight:

  • Costs of building or acquiring premises.
  • The cost of the services of a specialist who can assess the market price of real estate.
  • The costs of maintaining and protecting the premises.
  • Costs of electricity, water, etc.

Underwater rocks

One of the pitfalls is establishing the optimality of investing money. Often, inexperienced entrepreneurs incorrectly assess the value of a particular room, thereby investing in illiquid objects, losing a large amount of money.

In addition, it is important to pay attention to the legality of the business, changes in legislation and the process of paperwork (primarily for commercial real estate).

Please note that tax legislation in the rental business is constantly changing.

When calculating costs and the payback level, it is necessary to determine several development options - optimistic, most realistic and pessimistic in order to determine the approximate payback period of the facility, as well as the fact of how to diversify risks. It is imperative that you have other sources of income in order to insure yourself against a situation of lack of money.

Pros and cons of this area

Such a business, like others, has a number of advantages and disadvantages that arise from its features. Among the minuses, the main one can be distinguished - the search for a tenant can stretch for many months (primarily this concerns industrial facilities and retail real estate in impassable places). As a result, even a high rental price will not be able to compensate for the financial costs that the lessor will have to bear during the entire period of inactivity.

Also among the shortcomings should be highlighted:

  • a sufficiently large payback period;
  • not very high level of profitability;
  • high level of upfront costs.

In this situation, the only rational solution is the acquisition of liquid assets (one for which there is always a certain level of demand). To do this, it is important to be well versed in this area or to seek the services of a specialist.

Among the advantages of business can be identified:

  • long-term contracts for a period of a year or more;
  • stable profit margin;
  • income will be received by the landlord constantly;
  • passive nature of profit making (the lessor does not need to spend any efforts after drawing up an agreement with the tenant);
  • the possibility of organizing a business without registering as a legal entity.

Thus, the rental business is an attractive area for earning money. However, it is best to combine it with other sources of income in order to insure yourself against possible risks.

Renting a property is a very profitable business, if you take the procedure with maximum responsibility. Permanent passive income is always pleasant, but what if the idea came up to provide commercial real estate for rent? This will require a slightly different approach, because there is a big difference between renting an apartment and a large office.

Step-by-step instruction

The process of renting an object is divided into the following stages:

  1. Determination of rental value.

The first step is to review and evaluate the largest number of offers on the market. The larger the sample, the better the result (a more accurate indicator of the average rental cost for commercial premises).

During the analysis, you can use popular sites like Avito or Cyan. Information can also be studied in a variety of print media. In the absence of a desire to study other offers, it will personally be reasonable to hire a realtor or broker.

The price for such services can hardly be called high, and to maintain a decent share of nerve cells and time is quite realistic.

The cost of renting commercial real estate should suit not only the owner, but also potential customers. Obviously high rates are unlikely to be successful, but the following factors can affect the formation of the price tag:

  • location of the building / premises;
  • infrastructure (availability in the immediate vicinity of a cafe, free parking, building security);
  • building class;
  • quality and level of repair;
  • planning functionality;
  • various communications features (uninterrupted power, Internet, availability of bathrooms, etc.);
  • other bonuses that can potentially improve the productivity of tenants (Wi-Fi router, coffee maker, comfortable furniture).

After analyzing the prices in the market, you can contact other landlords and try to lose value. Often, the price indicated in offers is indicative and approximate. The value that can be achieved during the negotiations will be enough to find out the average rental rate for similar offers. 5-10 calls are enough to get comparative data on the rental rate.

The most important thing for a commercial property lessor is finding the right customer. You can do it yourself, or you can hire a realtor. In both situations, there are pros and cons, so choosing what to do is a private matter for everyone.

With an independent search for a tenant, a serious advantage is the availability of its own base. Nevertheless, its absence will not entail big problems, but you will have to spend more effort.


A good way to find the right customer is to create a website with a commercial offer. Promoting such a site is better with the help of contextual advertising with a focus on the key audience. Thanks to such advertising, you can easily find an interested audience and avoid high commissions to agencies.

It is most advisable to do this when renting premises with an impressive area. Such offers are sought after by clients who expect high profitability from the planned activity, and most of all they trust the sites.

If a person wants to buy a very expensive car, will he search for it on dubious resources or will he prefer the official site more? So the tenant of commercial real estate is of the same opinion.

A completely different matter is the small premises for rent. There is no point in creating a site and free bulletin boards on the Internet (even small ones) are perfect.

  1. Realtor services.

If you do not want to search for interested parties yourself, there is an option for hiring a realtor. This person will independently find the necessary tenants, make contacts and even independently enter into the necessary lease agreement.

On the other hand, finding the right people is a delicate and rather complicated / time-consuming affair. Not all realtors will agree to this, and masters of their craft in serious agencies will require a money amount of 50% of the rental price for 1 month for such services. And sometimes even more than that.

But still, with a similar method of finding tenants, the owner will free himself from significant difficulties. As a result, it remains only to draw up a contract and prepare all the necessary documentation.

Payment for realtor services is carried out only after the conclusion of the lease. If a realtor or agency requires you to make a prepayment or pay the amount earlier, it may be scammers.

  1. The necessary documentation.

After the tenant is found and both parties are satisfied with all the key points, you can proceed to the execution of the contract. An agreement on the lease of commercial real estate must include the following points:

  • complete information about each of the parties;
  • the exact address of the rental object;
  • amount and payer of utilities;
  • monthly rental amount;
  • date when the object will be leased;
  • necessary actions of each side in case of force majeure situations;
  • a description of the quality of the repair and the furniture;
  • key conditions under which you can terminate the lease.

If there is a lack of necessary knowledge or experience, it would be wiser to involve a qualified lawyer in the contract conclusion procedure.


The contract is not the only thing that is needed when renting real estate. You should also have with you:

  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • proof of ownership;
  • floor plan.

When all the documents are on hand, and the parties successfully conclude the contract, it remains only to receive revenue and monitor the frequency of payments.

Commercial real estate is office buildings, industrial premises, sports facilities, shops, garages, warehouses and even hotels.

Accelerate the rental of commercial real estate by reducing the rental rate. Given the fixed costs of maintaining the premises, it will be more correct to rent out real estate at an average or even low rate than to set a high price, but for a whole year.

Also, the price of such premises is affected by the presence of:

  • parking;
  • catering points (in the same building or in the immediate vicinity);
  • infrastructure;
  • high passability, etc.

In such circumstances, rents can be significantly higher than the market average. And, of course, there is a client for her.

Openness to the wishes of future customers also plays a significant role in the delivery of commercial real estate:

  1. Help in planning.

A potential tenant may need help or job planning tips. It would be wise to prepare in advance and offer several ready-made options immediately, and the key changes will remain with the client, which he wants to make.

It is much easier to change the finished than to create something from scratch. Such an attitude towards the tenant will undoubtedly be appreciated.

  1. Discussion of the details.

The color of the walls in the room, the number of maximum connections to the telephone network or the Internet, as well as a discussion of all other features will help to get the tenant's location and incline him to rent this particular property.

This is a small psychological technique: the more a person goes into details, the higher the chances that such a conversation will be stored in his memory. This means that it will be he who will be guided in the first place, weighing the pros and cons, etc.

However, if the entire rental process is built on such tricks, this will be a great risk of losing a reputation. If the quality of the lease will be significant only in words, then this can threaten very serious consequences.

  1. Vacation.

If the commercial premises allocated for renting do not have decoration, then you can offer the tenant a vacation for payment. That is, he will carry out repairs at his own expense, but while the repair crews are doing their job, the client will not pay rent for the premises.


This is a pretty significant plus for the tenant who clearly decided to rent the property:

  • if there are no extra funds to pay rent and repairs at the same time, then this action will cause extremely positive emotions and increase the reputation of the lessor;
  • also, repair holidays will help to incline a doubting tenant towards the acquisition of this particular real estate / premises.

In general, you can temporarily exempt a client from paying rent in a variety of situations. The main thing is that there should be no serious financial losses for both parties. These are the basic features of doing business and tenants (like landlords) of commercial real estate are well aware of this.

That is why such actions are widespread, although their use is not mandatory. Especially if the delivery of commercial real estate is not urgent.

  1. Landlord reliability.

This is a very important point, most pronounced in the preparation of owner documentation for the tenant. The more guarantees a client receives, the more chances there are for a successful lease.

The abundance of supporting documents, the absence of gimmicks during the signing of the contract and a good reputation are the key to successful leasing of commercial real estate. The reason is simple:

  • when renting an apartment, often ordinary citizens deal with the issue;
  • and if the premises are planned to be used for commercial purposes and earn serious money on this matter, then the study of each document by the tenant will be as scrupulous as possible.

Risks and other difficulties

Not only the tenant is at risk - the same goes for the landlord. The most common causes of conflict are:

  • insufficient definition of the legal obligations of the parties regarding rental property;
  • delays in monthly payments and other payments;
  • misuse of the rented property;
  • damage / loss of property owned by the lessor;
  • disputes on taxation (according to Article 146 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the obligation to pay VAT is assigned only to the lessor with the possibility of deducting the amount of tax by the lessee if the relevant document is available).

All these conflict situations directly depend on the concluded agreement. Each of the points should be described as accurately as possible, since this minimizes the risks for both sides at once. It is important to treat the conclusion of the contract responsibly in order to avoid such situations.

Leasing commercial property is not very different, but has a number of key features. The most important thing is the conclusion of a contract. In any situations, the parties will rely only on him, therefore, it is necessary to concentrate your attention on the execution of the transaction on this document.

Leasing non-residential premises, for example, for a store, involves searching for a suitable facility and concluding a written contract. It is necessary not only to correctly fill in all its sections, but also to observe the exact sequence of actions. How to rent a non-residential premises from a legal point of view?

Legislation

Non-residential property lease issues are regulated by the Federal Law “On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It” and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to the law, non-residential facilities include those that are part of buildings, but are not suitable for living.

The owner can independently lease non-residential premises on a contractual basis. It can only be in writing. If the lease is provided for up to 12 months, the contract does not have to be registered. If the lease is issued for a period of more than 1 year, the contract should be registered in the prescribed manner in Rosreestr. Landlords are obliged to pay taxes on income received from rental within the time period established by law.

Sequencing

The owner has the right to lease non-residential premises in an apartment building, in an office or shopping center. You need to know the sequence of actions that must be followed by both parties to the transaction.

Property selection

Finding the right object is the most difficult step. The tenant selects premises based on such parameters as transport accessibility, infrastructure and traffic. Search can be carried out through real estate agencies and specialized sites. Experienced businessmen devote a lot of time to this process.

The non-residential real estate market is divided into premises for the following purposes:

  • Office
  • Trading;
  • Production;
  • Warehouse.

You must initially determine the type of property, location, number of storeys and area. The request is easier to form when this data becomes clear. After selecting several options, the future tenant inspects the premises. This is a necessary stage. The landlord must present the premises from the advantageous parties. But do not hide the existing shortcomings, as they can subsequently appear. And this can lead to the termination of the lease.

If there is no time to search for premises, the tenant may delegate this work to an authorized person or intermediary. All details and required parameters are reported. These are paid services that are paid in the amount of 50 to 100% of the monthly rent. It is necessary to conclude a contract with an intermediary. Payment should be made after selecting a suitable room.

Conclusion of an agreement

It is better to involve a lawyer in this process. He will help to draw up a contract correctly and explain controversial issues, as well as verify the legal purity of the transaction. This work can be done independently. Before signing the contract, you must request the following documents:

  1. documents of ownership;
  2. floor plan;
  3. statutory documents of the owner.

After checking the documents should be discussed rental conditions. They may relate to the following points:

  • payment of utility bills;
  • rent amount;
  • deadline for the premises;
  • the availability of telephone communications and Internet access;
  • repair work;
  • terms of termination of the contract.

It is important to discuss which of the parties each item is assigned to and in what time frame the obligations are fulfilled. The agreements reached are prescribed in the contract or in the form of additional agreements to it.

It is important to include a clause on actions in the event of force majeure circumstances.

It is better if the lessee and the lessor will sign the contract in person without intermediaries. In this case, it is easier to resolve contentious issues, the parties may make some concessions. When drafting the contract, it is important to fully register information about the property. They should include the full address, floor, area of \u200b\u200bthe room. A plan of premises should be attached to the agreement. Only in this case can the agreement be considered valid.

The contract is signed in duplicate if the lease is granted for a period of up to 12 months. If a long-term lease of 1 year is planned, 3 copies of the contract are signed. One copy remains with the landlord and tenant. Another copy remains with the registrar.

Room transfer

After signing the contract, a deed of transfer is drawn up from the lessor to the lessee. The day of its signing will be considered the beginning of the lease. The act is signed only after the premises are fully inspected. If during inspection a malfunction is detected, it is recorded in the act. This avoids unnecessary expenses in the future.

The analysis allows us to require the tenant to eliminate defects and malfunctions, to reduce the rent. Therefore, it is better for the owner to tidy up the premises and communications in advance. After signing the deed of transfer, the tenant can fully use the premises and conduct entrepreneurial activities.

According to the current legislation, the agreement must contain the following basic conditions:

  1. Parties to the agreement are the lessee and the lessor. In accordance with Art. 608 of the Civil Code, the right to lease non-residential premises belongs to the owner.
  2. Subject of the contract. The detailed characteristics of the room are indicated. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 607 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in case of their absence, the agreement is considered invalid.
  3. Terms of use of real estate. They can be recorded as detailed as possible. It is indicated who is required to carry out cosmetic and major repairs.
  4. Payment. The payment amount is fixed. Without this, the contract is considered gratuitous, and this is not permissible for lease agreements.
  5. Validity. It is determined by the parties by mutual agreement. If it is not defined, the contract will be considered concluded for an indefinite period.

An agreement with a validity period of less than 12 months is not subject to registration. If after its completion another agreement is concluded for a similar period, registration is also not required. An agreement for a period of 12 months is subject to mandatory registration. But it is important to consider that on the basis of articles 619 and 620 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, early termination of the contract is possible.

The lessee may transfer real estate under a sublease agreement. But this is possible only with the consent of the lessor, who is the owner of the object. The sublease agreement must also be registered in the manner prescribed by law.

But it is important to consider that early termination of the lease is possible. Both the landlord and the tenant have this right. In fact, the parties to the transaction have complete freedom of action. But the contract should contain the grounds on which early termination is possible.

The following subleases are available:

  • The validity period is limited by the duration of the lease with the owner;
  • If the lease terminates, the subtenant has the opportunity to renew the contract with the owner until the end of the sublease period on the same conditions;
  • If the contract is concluded for a period of 12 months, it must be registered.

Allocate the following rights and obligations of the tenant:

  1. Monitoring the use of the premises as intended.
  2. Timeliness of payment of rent.
  3. Repair by agreement of the parties.
  4. Maintenance of the premises in the proper order.
  5. Drawing up a deed of transfer with a sublease.

In case of any violation of the obligations assumed, each party to the transaction has the opportunity to terminate the obligation before the expiration of the contract.

Required documents

Under contracts concluded for a period of 12 months, state registration is carried out. For this, the following package of documents is formed:

  • statement of established form;
  • rental agreement with all applications;
  • cadastral passport;
  • russian passports - for individuals, title documents - for legal entities;
  • power of attorney, if the documents are submitted by a representative;
  • notarized consent of the spouse or spouse, if the object is jointly owned or was acquired in marriage;
  • permission from the guardianship authority, if the property is registered for a legally incompetent or minor citizen;
  • written permission from the pledge holder if the property is pledged;
  • receipt of payment of state duty.

Taxes

Taxes are provided for the rental of non-residential premises. The optimal tax regime is a simplified tax system. Special tax regimes have not only ease of accounting, but also a lower tax burden. The following features apply:

  1. if the cadastral value is determined and a special regional law is in effect, tax is paid on office, administrative and retail real estate;
  2. at the local level, the rate is 2%.

If a special law is not adopted at the local level, the following rates are set for entrepreneurs on a simplified taxation system:

  • STS 6% - of total income;
  • STS 15% - from income minus expenses.

If the organization is on a common taxation system, a high tax burden is set. In this case, the rental business is not profitable. Traditionally, three main taxes are established:

  1. the profit of the organization and personal income tax for individual entrepreneurs - 20% for legal entities and 13% for entrepreneurs;
  2. on property - 2% at the cadastral value and 2.2% when calculating the residual value;
  3. value added - 18% if the quarterly revenue is more than 2 million rubles.

How not to pay taxes on income received for the rental of non-residential property?On the one hand, the law establishes the obligation to pay taxes for all leases. If the contract is drawn up for a period of 1 year or more, it is registered with the Rosreestr. This information is transmitted to the tax office in accordance with the agreement on the exchange of information. If the contract is drawn up for a period of up to 1 year, the tax service will have to prove the fact of the lease, which is not always possible.

Current legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability for illegal business. Criminal liability is established if illegal business activities are being conducted or large profits in the amount of from 1.5 million rubles are made.

If a violation is recorded, the judges take into account the specific circumstances of the person and many other factors. As a rule, there are no problems in the case of renting an apartment or a country house. If an uninhabited object is rented out, several signs of entrepreneurial activity can be distinguished. If the premises are bought directly for rental, the activity requires registration, as it is recognized as entrepreneurial.

The same applies to long-term leases or to contracts that are renegotiated repeatedly. This feature is interpreted as the fact of a systematic and intentional profit from owning a non-residential object. If these signs come to light, it is recommended to the citizen to register SP. In this case, the tax is 6% of the total income. Personal income tax is 13%.

The owner of the premises must submit annual tax reports.

Thus, the rental of non-residential premises has its own number of features. It is necessary to legally competently draw up an agreement, provide for all the features of the agreement and pay taxes in a timely manner. This will avoid problems in the future and legally make a profit.

Commercial real estate rental business will always be profitable and reliable. But if you decide to place your free funds this way, you should not chop off your shoulder and take what turned up. We must try to choose a room in such a place and with such a tenant so that the payback period is as short as possible. In Moscow, it now varies from 6 to 15 years, the average is 10-12 years, 7-9 years are considered good.

Payback period is the main indicator of the effectiveness of any investment. In the case of commercial real estate and the rental business, it is influenced by the following factors: the ratio of the purchase price and the estimated rental rate, the size of the room, its location on the city map and in a particular area, the presence of the tenant at the time of purchase, and finally, the tenant's identity and yours relationship. All these factors are interrelated, so the choice of a property is a complex complex task with many introductory as well as unknown ones. In order to profitably lease non-residential premises, it is better to resort to the help of experienced realtors. But in this case, you need to be savvy in some matters.

The first one. To whom to rent the room

First of all, you need to determine for yourself to whom you want to rent your still not purchased property. It’s easier to negotiate and work with someone you understand, whose specifics of activity, needs and opportunities you know firsthand. Understanding shoe trade - it’s better to buy a room for a shoe, rather than a grocery store. Love to sew-cut - look for an object for an atelier. With this approach, it will be much easier for you to find a tenant.

The second one. Lease payback period

Calculate how many times you will need to receive a monthly rent in order to cover the cost of the purchased property. This indicator at present should be in the range from 90 to 120. If less, then they try to sell you a suspicious cat in a poke, if more, you have good potential for bargaining. At a very attractive price, you can buy a room in a building under construction, but until the end of construction and an even indefinite time of rental payments you will not see.

The third. What footage is faster to pass

The larger the room, the more expensive it is. But the main thing is that it’s more difficult for him to find a tenant, because these can only be large companies that have special location requirements. According to statistics, large rooms pay off several years longer. If for you the payback period is a priority, instead of one large object it is better to purchase several small ones.

Fourth. Location

When choosing a location, you need to focus on the type of business that will be conducted in your premises. For a small grocery store, the ideal place is a densely populated sleeping area, for production - an industrial zone or suburb, for a cafe it is desirable to have a business center or educational institution nearby.

Fifth. Ready rental business (GAB)

Buying a property with an existing tenant is a good option from all points of view, and income will begin to arrive in a month. But the cost of such objects is higher than that of the empty ones, and you may encounter fraud on the part of the seller. You need to make sure the rental rate stated in the contract, check the stability of the tenant's business, find out his plans - suddenly he plans to move soon.

Sixth. Tenant Selection

And the last one. So that the payback period is not stretched, you need a good tenant and business (that is, mutually beneficial) relations with him. If you have a choice when “populating” a property, it is better to let an experienced, but not a large entrepreneur. The ideal option is to own a small but successful store that is about to open another outlet.

The fact is that such square meters are in demand among a narrow number of tenants. That is, if your premise meets all the requirements of the renter (as a rule, these are some specific features), then he can agree to your offer. But you can wait for such a customer for a very long time. Therefore, it is better to repel from the average market price when evaluating yours.
As for the safety of the premises in its original form - this is unrealistic. Even the most accurate tenants in the process of using it will inevitably inflict at least some damage to it (from elementary pollution to damage to the finish). If your premises are very dear to you, then stipulate compensation for its damage in the contract.
It follows from this that when registering with a tenant, you will no longer be able to avoid taxing your income from renting premises.
And in order to quickly find a tenant who will suit you and who will suit your premises and its price, and to avoid a bunch of problems, in a proven agency with at least 5 years of experience.

This means that the first thing you should do is find a good agency that deals with property rental. It is necessary to conclude a contract for the provision of services with this organization. As a rule, the landlord does not charge a fee. Further, the agent will ask you to show him your premises, after which he will be able to determine the amount that you can count on. The agent will offer you the best way to get your rent. Typically, commercial real estate payments are made quarterly, but for residential real estate - monthly. If there are no valuables in your premises, you can safely leave the keys to it to an agent who will show it to future tenants without interrupting you from business. And the last step is getting to know the tenants and concluding a lease agreement with them.

To rent any free space, whether residential or commercial, you can contact the real estate agency or find a tenant yourself. In the second case, it is effective to post information in print media and the Internet on those resources that potential tenants visit from the area where the property is located.

You will need

Even if you do not want to resort to the help of realtors, it will not be superfluous to visit several agencies and consult about the rental price of yours and the factors influencing it. It may not be superfluous to take certain measures that give reason to request more. For example, connect additional telephone lines, conduct wired Internet, etc., depending on the situation and the nature of the area.

If you prefer to entrust the cares of finding tenants and primary contacts with them to intermediaries, meticulously ask about the conditions of cooperation: price, procedure for paying for the agency's services (ideally after arrival, in other cases, you should think about it), etc.

For an independent search, prepare ad texts of various lengths. Your task is to contain as much essential information as possible in a minimal amount of text, giving a complete picture of the leased area. Often its solution is facilitated by generally accepted understandable abbreviations.

A separate issue is contacts. A separate sim will help save your nerves and insure yourself against inappropriate calls. You can insert it into the phone only at a time when it is convenient for you to receive calls, and for others (which will be sure) to use an answering machine.
This function is also convenient after the commissioning of space. It will be enough for you to turn off the phone, writing on the answering machine that the area has been leased.
A separate email address for correspondence with tenants will also be useful.

As you receive calls from tenants, negotiate with them about the views and terms of the lease. Be prepared to accompany them when inspecting your space and answer various questions, including uncomfortable ones.
Try to look at the premises through the eyes of a potential tenant: what suits you, what doesn’t, and why, think about how you can minimize negative aspects.
Also prepare documents on your premises confirming your right to legally dispose of them (certificate of ownership, power of attorney from the owner, etc.) to present them upon request.

With the tenant that suits your option, enter into an agreement where you write down the lease term, the possibility of extension, size, procedure and terms of payment.
And, of course, do not forget to accept payments, recalling if necessary that it is time to make the next one (although tenants are certainly preferred, with whom this procedure is not required).
