1. What is Commercial Market Rent?

Commercial market rent is the estimated rental value of a property based on comparable properties in the same market, adjusted for differences in location, size, condition, and other relevant factors.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the commercial rent formula:

Where:

• \( Comparable\ Rent \) — Rent of similar properties in the same market (currency/month)
• \( Adjustment\ Factor \) — Multiplier accounting for property differences (unitless)

Explanation: The equation adjusts comparable rents to account for differences between properties, providing a more accurate market rent estimate.

3. Importance of Market Rent Calculation

Details: Accurate market rent estimation is crucial for property valuation, lease negotiations, investment analysis, and setting competitive rental rates.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter comparable rent in currency per month and adjustment factor (typically between 0.8-1.2). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I determine the adjustment factor?
A: The adjustment factor is based on property differences - location (±10%), size (±5% per 100 sq ft), condition (±15%), amenities (±10%), etc.

Q2: How many comparables should I use?
A: Ideally 3-5 recent comparable rentals within the same submarket for reliable estimates.

Q3: What's included in commercial rent?
A: Typically base rent only. Operating expenses, taxes, and insurance may be additional (NNN lease) or included (gross lease).

Q4: How often should market rent be reassessed?
A: Commercial rents should be reviewed annually or when market conditions change significantly.

Q5: What are common mistakes in rent estimation?
A: Using outdated comparables, ignoring lease terms, failing to account for tenant improvements, or overlooking market trends.
