Put Limits on Tenant’s Right to Hire Its Own Cleaning Contractor

Generally, commercial property owners provide cleaning services to tenants. They typically hire and use a cleaning contractor that they choose. However, specialty tenants sometimes ask that they be allowed to hire their own, separate cleaning contractor. Tenants that have confidential information, such as banks and medical offices, and are concerned that a cleaning crew will have access to it, or tenants that have especially expensive merchandise, like jewelry stores, and are concerned about security, have been known to ask for this concession.
