Tenant Screening & Qualification Services

Industrial and warehouse leases are long-term commitments, typically 3 to 10 years. A tenant who defaults, fails to maintain the property, or conducts operations inconsistent with your zoning can cause significant financial harm and take years to resolve through legal channels.

The quality of your tenant screening process is therefore one of the most important factors in the long-term performance of your asset. CRES Utah's screening process is designed to identify strong operators early in the leasing process, before you've invested time and legal fees in a lease you'll have to disclaim.

For every serious prospective tenant, we conduct a multi-layer screening process. We verify the business entity structure and ownership, review financial statements or equivalent evidence of financial health, check business and personal credit where appropriate, contact references from prior landlords, and verify that the tenant's proposed use is consistent with your building's specifications and local zoning requirements.

For larger transactions or specialized uses, cold storage, manufacturing, hazardous materials. We conduct additional due diligence appropriate to the risk profile of the operation.

Our screening process is calibrated to catch the most common sources of industrial tenant problems: undercapitalized operators who cannot sustain rent payments, tenants who plan uses inconsistent with the property's zoning (creating liability for the owner), businesses with poor maintenance histories that leave spaces in degraded condition, and tenants who have defaulted on prior industrial leases.

We share our findings transparently and advise on whether to proceed, request additional security, or decline the tenancy.
