The ten most common questions about private leases, utility contracts, deposits and terms.
Co-warehousing shares one building, aisles and facilities among many tenants. A private lease means the whole bay is yours alone: private gates, a lease and utility contracts in your own name. Your hours, workflow and security perimeter are entirely yours.
Yes. Utility accounts are opened in your name and bills come directly to you — no middleman markup or shared-cost allocation. That's why banks, auditors and client site visits all accept this setup.
Standard terms are 3 / 6 / 12 months, renewable at the same or a new size. Peak-season add-ons can usually be negotiated month-to-month.
Typically two months' rent, fully refundable at term end if the space is returned in good condition. Details are confirmed per location quote.
Most locations allow warehouse-office combos and showroom setups, subject to local zoning (each facility page lists its zoning). Before signing, we confirm your use list is written into the lease.
All locations offer 24/7 access with private gates — your staff and vehicles come and go without depending on other tenants.
Yes. Tenants insuring their own goods and liability is industry standard. We can provide policy specifications that satisfy lender and building requirements.
Yes. Vacant space in the same building or city network goes to existing tenants first. Cross-city expansion can be coordinated within the network, keeping contract and deposit terms continuous.
Usually 5–10 business days with documents ready: tour, quote, signing, key handover. Urgent timelines can be prioritized — just tell us your date.
