Responsibilities Owner Have for Tenant Improvements of Minneapolis Properties
As the owner of a property, you are responsible for the building your tenants occupy.

Tenant improvements run the gamut from:
- Air conditioning
- Carpet/flooring
- Ceilings
- Electrical
- Floor and wall coverings
- Fire protection
- Mechanical
- Partitions
- Plumbing
- Security
Types of Tenant Improvements
Whenever changes are made to your building, you are boosting its overall value and extending its business life. Whether you are renovating the lobby, putting in a new game room, or constructing a unisex bathroom in your hallways, it shows you care about the property and your tenants. Tenant improvements in Minneapolis tend to fall within one of three types:
- New businesses locating to a previously unoccupied tenant space
- A new business locating to a previously occupied tenant space
- Expansion or modification of an existing business
Improving a Previously Occupied Tenant Space
In tenant improvement cases involving a new business in an originally unused space, many issues need to be considered. These include, but are not limited to, whether the planned business is allowed in that location, what extra tenant improvements may be required, and what costs will be involved. In addition to these considerations, it is also important to be aware of any other requirements the city of Minneapolis has.
For tenant improvements involving a new business moving into a previously occupied tenant space, it must first be determined if that type of business can occupy the space. Other considerations include how the new business will utilize the space and what structural changes the venture includes, and whether or not additional tenant improvements will be called for.
The third type of tenant improvementโan expansion or modification of an existing spaceโmay call for major interior improvements, construction of new walls, or even creating additional square footage to meet the needs of the tenant.
