What you are agreeing to

The terms, up front.

  1. You rent your spot month to month under a license agreement, not a lease. Normal for commissaries, and it is what keeps the building safe.
  2. A personal guarantee is required.
  3. Insurance is required and must name us.
  4. Progressive fines for rule violations.
  5. Some offences mean same day removal.

Questions to ask any commissary

Comparing options? Ask these.

  • Will they put maximum unit dimensions in writing?
  • Who signs and renews your PDPH commissary agreement?
  • Are electric, water, and trash actually included in the rate?
  • Is the parking indoors or a fenced lot?
  • What happens to your rate if you buy supply elsewhere?
  • Can you see the kitchen calendar before signing?
