All of the above can be overwhelming, but only one will be ongoing. And... that's your continued relationship with your Landlord.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT LANDLORD?

One that will help you make your transition smooth and who you will enjoy working with into the future.

CONSIDER...

Who is the prospective Landlord? A private party? A passive investor? A local or regional developer? An institution? A REIT?
Does the Landlord have a successful track record of quality?
Does the owner manage to hold? Or manage to sell? What is the likelihood the prospective Landlord will still own the building or project five years from now?
Did the Landlord construct the building or project? If not, how was it acquired?
What "extra measures" did the developer take to seismic reinforce your new space?
How are the buildings maintained (inside and out)? Tour other properties built and owned by the Landlord.
Who manages the property? The Landlord? The Landlord's company? Or, an outside management company?

REPUTATION...

Ask for a list of other Tenants leasing space from the Landlord. Call them directly and ask questions about the ownership and management. Ask them how well the Landlord responds to their problems.
Are the decision makers local? Can decisions be made quickly? Do you have access to the decision maker? Don't be afraid to ask for a tour of your prospective Landlord's properties and corporate offices.
Call local city offices or the Chamber for a reference.
