At Commercial Realty, we know that finding the right tenant is about more than filling a space. It’s about creating lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships. Our careful tenant selection process ensures that each business we place is reliable, responsible, and aligned with the property’s lease and operational requirements.
Ensuring Financial Reliability
Financial stability is the foundation of a successful tenancy. Our vetting process gives property owners confidence that tenants can meet their financial obligations, including rent, operating expenses (OPEX), and utilities.
Applicants are asked to:
- Authorise a credit check to assess creditworthiness and financial history
- Provide a personal guarantee or bond (typically a three-month bond)
- Submit identification documents, including a valid NZ Driver’s Licence and proof of address
Commitment to Lease Compliance
We ensure every tenant understands and agrees to the terms of their lease. This protects both tenants and property owners. Key areas we check:
- Zoning and operational requirements – confirming the tenant’s activities match the property’s allowed use
- Environmental compliance – particularly for businesses handling chemicals or other regulated materials
- Foot traffic and parking – ensuring operations don’t disrupt neighbours or shared facilities
Evaluating Business Suitability
Selecting the right tenant goes beyond finances and compliance. We also evaluate the tenant’s business operations and long-term goals. Applicants provide:
- An overview of their business activities
- Reasons for relocating
- Lease term preferences
This helps us ensure that tenants are a good match for the property and likely to remain long-term.
Industry Experience Across Diverse Sectors
We manage commercial properties across a wide range of sectors, including industrial warehouses, office buildings, medical clinics, gyms, cafes, and retail spaces.
Our experience allows us to match tenants with properties that meet their sector-specific needs:
- Retail tenants benefit from strong foot traffic
- Industrial businesses require optimised storage or manufacturing layouts
- Medical tenants need specialised facilities
Building Long-Term Partnerships
By carefully selecting tenants, we reduce vacancy rates, improve retention, and create thriving environments for both tenants and property owners. Long-term relationships built on trust, responsibility, and transparency are at the heart of our approach.
