more than willing to offer you a fair deal according to the market.
DON'T STAY BECAUSE MOVING IS MORE EXPENSIVE
Over the years of the release, it can probably save your company money if you are moving to somewhere that is considerably cheaper and offers a more fair deal compared to the market. It’s true that moving is a pain. It’s disruptive and takes a few weeks. A space that is way too expensive or bad for the company is worse than those things. If you aren’t getting a fair shake, over time it will benefit your company to move. If you have this open attitude toward moving, it will help you get a better deal on your lease. The landlord will know if you don’t actually plan on moving.
HAVE OTHER REAL OPTIONS YOU CAN MOVE INTO
Just like negotiating the original lease, you need to have real and viable options to create some type of leverage with the landlord. This way, if negotiations aren’t going well, you have an actual threat to move that is realistic. You don’t need to do a full-on property search that requires a crazy amount of time to have a viable option. An online search and some back and forth with a landlord are all it takes. You can meet them but don’t have to in order to have serious prospects for your next office space. If it gets to the point where you send a request for proposal and visit the property, even better. You can show this to your current landlord and use it as more leverage.
