The Top 3 Mistakes to Avoid When Leasing Retail Property


Leasing retail property is a significant investment. Avoid these common mistakes to ensure a smooth and successful process.

  1. Overlooking Location Details
    Foot traffic, visibility, and accessibility can make or break a retail business. Conduct thorough research to find the perfect location for your property.
  2. Ignoring Zoning Laws
    Zoning restrictions can limit what types of businesses can operate in your space. Always verify zoning compatibility before leasing.
  3. Neglecting Lease Terms
    Unclear lease agreements can lead to disputes. Ensure the contract clearly defines maintenance responsibilities, rent escalation terms, and renewal options.


Avoiding these pitfalls can save you time, money, and headaches when leasing your retail property.
