Our tenant has been renting a room for a car service for a long time, and rides a motorcycle at his leisure. Once he said that he was looking for an additional place for a motorcycle service.

Our co-owner shares a passion for two-wheelers and communicates in the international bike community.

The birth of a business idea

The tenant and the co-owner of the building discussed the pros and cons of a conventional motorcycle service and decided to open a dealership. This is a long-term stable business with good prospects, support for a global brand and a constant influx of customers.

At first, they jointly picked up a moto brand, which became a major trademark of German

motorcycles. The landlord found the contacts of key persons through his contacts. Communication by correspondence led to a visit of future partners from Germany and discussion of the terms of the dealer contract.

Dealership opening

In the near future, a dealer of the first rank will start working in our building, and he will sell motorcycles of a well-known brand among professionals (which one is still a secret!).

So, from an ordinary conversation "over coffee", a joint business idea was born, which will soon become a promising business. A dealership is for a long time and reliably. A business of this level guarantees a stable cash flow, that is, an increase in profit for the tenant and a regular rent for the co-owner of the building.

Two bikers helped each other (because it's right and "for life"), in the end-everyone won.

One of our rooms had a high ceiling height of 7.5 meters. The tenant had some problems because of this. Firstly, there were high heating costs, and, secondly, there was a spatial geometry of the room. The proportions were visually distorted, which did not look the best.

What has the tenant suggested?

The tenant has suggested making the upstairs useless space a useful one: dividing one 7.5-meter floor into two by adding a mezzanine. This improves the geometry of the space and doubles the usable area. In addition, there are no problems with obtaining permits from the Office of Building Supervision, because the mezzanine is a temporary structure.

What have we decided?

Refusing is a bad idea. We can lose a tenant, and in any case something needs to be done with the room. And ... this is wrong from a human point of view. Why spoil karma if you can meet halfway?

We have, of course, resolved the Mezzanine add-on. The tenant has made an excellent guest area on the second floor. Now visitors spend their time comfortably in a cosily equipped space and are happy to wait for the company's employees.

We did not raise the rent. Redevelopment is an investment in the future, improvement for business and increased service for guests.

We rent a large territory of a paid parking company. It is divided into two zones: free for our tenants and paid with its own tariffs. The relationship with valet parking is governed by a rigid contract that details our responsibilities. We must take care of the territory, we cannot change the boundaries of paid parking or rent it out to third parties.

Our vast territory is rented to a paid parking company. It is divided into two zones: free for our tenants and paid for the rest with their own tariffs. The relationship with the parking company is regulated by a strict contract, in which our duties are described in detail. We must maintain the territory, and we also cannot change the boundaries of paid parking or rent it to third parties.

A free parking area is necessary for tenants to park their own vehicles, parking suppliers of goods, etc. Their business is growing and developing, and now there is not enough free space in the free zone.

And there are also buyers ' cars. Customers do not want to pay for parking, but there is no space in the free zone. This situation caused dissatisfaction of tenants and, in fact, threatened their business. 

We have protected the interests of tenants

The only possible solution was to redistribute the boundaries of the free and paid zones, which we were not entitled to under the contract. A difficult negotiation campaign began, which was conducted on behalf of the owner of the building and lasted more than three months.

After 3 months, we agreed with a paid parking company to redistribute the territory and expand the boundaries of the free zone. Our tenants have received more parking spaces, now there are enough of them not only for commercial vehicles, but also for customers ' cars.
