Tenant Improvements

The key is getting the right contractor on the job for reliable, quality tenant improvements that are done on time and on budget.

Tenant Improvements 101
Tenant improvements are sometimes done on residential properties, but they are most common in commercial spaces. The improvements are requested by the tenant in order to make the space as efficient as possible for how it will be used.
Usually, these kinds of changes are made to add things that are specific to the kind of business a commercial tenant plans to do in a property. However, residential tenants also sometimes get improvements made to their homes, depending on the negotiation of the lease.
Landlords usually pay a set amount toward tenant improvements, and tenants pay any amount over that total. However, sometimes tenants pay for the improvements and landlords deduct the cost from rent. In either case, the most important part is picking the best contractor. Landlords usually pick the contractor.
Types of Tenant Improvements
Virtually any kind of upgrade, buildout, or addition to a property can be a tenant improvement. There are some kinds of jobs that are more common than others. Some examples of common tenant improvements include:
-
Adding walls to create separate rooms for offices, fitting rooms, bedrooms, etc.
-
Adding or remodeling bathrooms
-
Installing cabinets or wall racks
-
Installing drop ceilings
-
Adding specialized lighting

Upgrades to make a space ADA compliant
If there are any upgrades you want as a tenant, discuss them with your landlord. Many changes you want may fall into this category of tenant improvements.
