Tenants must adapt to market changes.In the first half of the calendar year, companies in the market for office space had to be counseled to act quickly to secure a potential site. Tenants did not have the luxury of taking their time in the negotiation process for fear that another party may enter discussions with the landlord and knock them out of the deal with a better offer. By fast-tracking the entire negotiation process, it "allows" the landlord to have a "take it or leave it attitude" toward a prospective tenant. With a tightening market, landlords know it will take no time for them to find a perspective tenant. Most tenants these days are more concerned, and should be, about securing the "right" space rather than losing time and jeopardizing the deal by trying to gain extra concessions or work allowance. It is of utmost importance then, that a tenant pursues a site aggressively after evaluating that it meets most of its criteria. As well, tenants who have been in the market for over 12 months will have noticed a sharp increase in rents. For example, if a tenant went back to a site they viewed six months ago, chances are it will no longer be available. And if it is still available, they will notice an increase in the landlord's original asking price by at least several dollars per square foot, and with less or no free rent being offered. Tenants Will Face Rigid Obstacles Throughout the Year As the market continues to tighten, and it will, tenants will have fewer available options and more rigid obstacles to overcome.

Adj. for space improvements, it is imperative to seek various options for lease-held improvements, also known as tenant improvements. Asset secured financing provides an avenue for tenants to make the necessary improvements in a new commercial space. The tenant pays for these improvements over a longer period of time with fixed monthly payments. Another strategy is for a tenant to restructure their current lease, as long as the existing space is suitable to the tenant's needs in the years to come.

With a strong economy, most companies are experiencing growth. One of the most common problems confronting a tenant is lack of expansion space in their current building.
