Preparing Your Commercial Space for a New Tenant

Dec 12, 2021

When getting your commercial space ready for a new tenant, it is your job to thoroughly clean it from top to bottom, and discard any remnants left behind by the old renters. You may even be required to alter the floor plan somewhat if you want to accommodate a different sort of business than that of your previous renters.


Let's look at what you need to do when preparing for a new commercial tenant.

Things to Clear Out

Even when your new tenants are in a similar type of business as the last, there are things that simply must be gotten rid of. Whether items were left behind by the last tenants or some of them come with the property, anything that's old or can't be used again should be removed to make room for the new business.



If any type of demolition takes place to prepare for new tenants, you must take away the old stuff or have it professionally removed to avoid liability issues.

What To Do With the Old Items

You may be able to recycle, or repurpose some of the old things, especially if they show little signs of wear. Other things will have to be put into the trash bin.


If you aren't totally certain how to handle the discards that still have life left in them, you might consider:


  • Donating them to a non-profit or up-and-coming business
  • Selling what you can to new clients
  • Hiring a professional company to deal with it

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional

Preparing a space for new tenants takes a lot of work. When you hire professionals to remove the things you no longer need or want, you save time and money helping your renters make a new start.


Additional benefits of hiring a professional to handle your junk are:


  • Minimizes injuries
  • Improves productivity
  • Reduces Stress 
  • Ensures proper disposal and distribution including recycling when possible
