Is it possible to rent a warehouse for only 6 months?

[Matthew J.]

A friend of mine who is selling on Amazon, needs a warehouse because his business is growing. He told me he was not able to find a warehouse with a contact less than 3 years. None of the warehouse owners is willing to rent less than 3 years? He said he even offered higher rate than what is asked and wanted to rent for only 1 year but the answer is always "no". He wants a shorter term just to try and see if everything is going fine.

Is Houston warehouse market that strong or there is something else going on here?
