I'm looking to settle a lease for our new premises, and while the landlord wants to lease to us he likes his industrial, polished concrete flooring and wants to have it protected from the flooring plan I am working on. He has asked us to place a membrane down before laying anything over it. Has anyone faced a similar situation and how did you resolve it? He doesn't care if I cut trench drains into it so I think there is bit of a mixed message here.
I will be speaking with an engineer about our flooring needs next week, but would welcome any comments from others on this who may have dealt with nervous landlords and how did you resolve your issues.
I should add that this is not a temporary location and I don't plan on closing operations from this site for a long, long time. I want to reassure the landlord that if we had to we would return the floor to it's original state.
Thoughts?
