Frequently Asked Questions

Most commercial leases in Karen run for 2-5 years, with common initial terms of 3 years plus renewal options. Short-term rentals (6-12 months) are occasionally available but typically at higher monthly rates.
Rental prices typically exclude utilities (electricity, water). Tenants pay these separately based on consumption. Some properties may include basic water charges but electricity is always metered separately.
Most landlords allow reasonable modifications with prior written approval. Structural changes require landlord consent while cosmetic improvements (painting, lighting) generally don't. Your lease agreement will specify modification terms.
Karen shops see strongest foot traffic from mid-morning through early evening (10:00 AM - 7:00 PM), with weekends being particularly busy. Many restaurants and cafes also benefit from evening trade until about 9:00 PM.
Standalone shops usually include dedicated parking (2-5 spaces), while mall units share common parking lots. Most shopping centers provide at least one parking space per 25 sqm of leased area.
