Screening new tenants isn't fun, but it is important. Our commercial lease application form will help you nail the perfect tenant in no time.
You will want to gun for a business that is going to flourish and continue to rent from you for years and years down the road. Some green lights to watch for: business age (5 years or more is good), business revenue (compared to your asking rent) and business size (fresh startup vs. international brand) - You will find these details and more in our commercial rental application.
For example who would make a better tenant? MacDonalds opening the only fast food restaurant this side of town versus a unknown shop selling never-been-heard products - Not sure about you, but personally I'm placing my bets with MacDonalds.
If the business looks feasible, then it's time to turn your attention to its owner. Screening a business owner is not as straightforward as most people think. Unlike a residential tenant, business owners don't usually have an employment history tagged to a monthly salary. There are no employers or supervisors for you to ring up for references.
That's why it is doubly important that you run a credit check on your applicants with a trusted tenant screening site such as E-Renter. The credit check will give you a good idea on how much debt the person owes and whether he's been paying his bills on time.
Please fill in this commercial lease application form completely and
submit it with any supporting documents (business registration, credit
report etc).
