More importantly, we offer several unique configurations, meaning you or you and your family or roommate should be able to find something that fits your needs.

One of the most common missteps tenants make is failing to create viable backup options beyond their primary choice. This measure may involve securing new space or renewing an existing lease. We often hear clients say, “I don’t plan to move, so I’ll just renew my lease.” Even if you don’t explicitly share this with your landlord, your actions can reveal your intentions. Once the landlord picks up on this, tenants lose their ability to negotiate effectively. Even if staying put seems like the obvious choice, developing realistic alternatives is crucial. Without doing so, tenants risk overpaying because they’ve sacrificed all leverage in renewal negotiations.

Having separate tenant representation for a commercial lease is just as important as having separate attorneys in a legal case. With so much on the line — financially and legally — it’s crucial to avoid a single broker handling negotiations for both sides in an office lease deal.

Before beginning your search for office space, the first thing to do is figure out how much space you’ll actually need. A common guideline is to plan for 200 to 250 square feet per employee. That said, this can vary depending on your business’s specific needs. To get it right, creating a detailed space plan is essential. Many landlords offer professional space planning services to tenants at no additional cost.

A security deposit acts as a safeguard against damages that go beyond regular wear and tear. After you move out and we inspect the property, we may need to deduct any costs for repairs to restore the apartment’s condition. We may return the rest of the deposit to you based on the rules set by the state.

If you’re considering subleasing your rental property, you’ll need written approval from the property owner, Westbay Management Co. To make the process smoother, we encourage you to reach out to us before starting the process to find someone for the sublease. We’re ready and willing to answer your questions and help you navigate the steps for securing the necessary consent.
