Consider using a tenant rep for next space search
Barb Ankrum | Cave & Associates
There are often hidden costs involved with a new lease. Any initial quote provided by a landlord covers rent per square foot. But it may not include additional costs, such as taxes, utilities, operating expenses, and the responsibility for mundane chores, such as light bulb replacements and daily maintenance. When you factor in these side charges, the cost differential can run into hundreds of dollars. A tenant rep can make sure you’re aware of all such charges.
