Lease

A disciplined leasing process that matches space to purpose.

Leasing is not simply advertising a vacancy or touring a listing. It is a strategic process that should match the right space with the right user, protect your terms, and reduce vacancy and risk. Bethea Realty guides landlords and tenants from pricing and positioning to signed lease with market intelligence, applicant screening, term strategy, and clear guidance at every decision point.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

The questions landlords and tenants ask most — answered before you ever pick up the phone.

Do you represent landlords or tenants?

Both. We represent landlords positioning a space to lease and tenants searching for the right space, always with clear representation and defined expectations.

How is rental price determined?

We compare current rentals, condition, location, and demand to price for strong terms and reduced vacancy rather than a number that sits on the market.

How are applicants screened?

Screening typically reviews credit, income, rental history, and references, applied consistently and in compliance with fair housing rules.

What lease terms should I consider?

Term length, renewal options, escalations, deposits, permitted use, maintenance responsibilities, and exit provisions all shape the agreement and your risk.

How long does leasing take?

Timing depends on pricing, condition, demand, and applicant readiness. A realistic timeline is set during your consultation.

Can you help with commercial leasing?

Yes. We assist with both commercial and residential leasing, including use clauses, common area maintenance, and term structure.

What happens after a lease is signed?

Coordination continues through deposits, move-in condition documentation, and handover so both sides start on clear terms.
