​What are pros and cons of having a call center as a tenant?

[Irina Gav]

I am considering renting a 500 sq ft in a small office building (1 story, 7000 sq ft) to a call center company.

The rest of the building is occupied by real estate brokers, mortgage brokers and insurance agents.

I am concerned that call center as a tenant will incur more expenses and cause more troubles than I think.

What are pros and cons of having a call center as a tenant?

Here are some I can think of. As they grow (they start with 6 people, but the office can accommodate 20 calling stations):

1. They will take more parking spots, leaving less parking for other tenants.

2. They will use more water and restroom supplies.

3. They are noisier than most other types of businesses, which might be nuisance to other tenants.

4. More power consumed to run computers (electricity + A/C).

5. May incur higher maintenance (cleaning) cost.

Should I charge them more because of the reasons above? How much more?

Is there anything else I should take into consideration before signing a lease agreement?
