1. How much does it cost and what does the package include?
When considering office space rental, it’s essential to understand exactly what you’re paying for and what’s included in the package. This may cover insurance, shared facility maintenance, security, and other operational costs that can impact overall affordability.

Most storage service providers, including U Can Store, require a security deposit when you are renting a small office space, which is used to protect the service provider against unforeseen damages. It also covers the rental cost when a tenant is unable to pay, or leaves without notice. However, the sum of the deposit is refunded to every customer when they choose to discontinue their contract. You might forfeit your deposit if you end your contract without giving sufficient notice (however long is stipulated in the agreement). A deposit might also be retained to cover damages.

2. Is it big enough for my business?
Before committing to an office space to rent, make sure that the space is sufficient for your business needs. Businesses should look for scalable office space that can adapt as teams expand or storage requirements increase.

Remember to ask what amenities are included in the office space. Most companies need high-speed internet access and a professional boardroom for staff meetings, as well as a place to host clients or suppliers. A kitchenette and toilet facilities are also important if you have in-house staff operating out of the facility.

3. What are the terms of the agreement?
Always read the fine print! Understanding the terms of an office space rental agreement is critical, especially if you’re looking for flexible commercial space.

Terms and conditions exist to protect both you and your service provider. Be aware of what you are agreeing to, such as deposit terms, cancellation fees and liabilities. Who is responsible for maintenance, repairs or upgrades to the facilities? All this information will be included in your service contract.

At U Can Store, standard office space to rent is available on a month-to-month basis, giving businesses flexibility without long-term commitments. One calendar month’s notice is required, with deposits used only if notice conditions are not met.

4. Does your service provider offer any value adds?
Besides our passion for providing secure, clean and weather-resistant storage facilities, U Can Store believes in growing small businesses. We want you to thrive, and we aim to take the load off when it comes to your business storage and office leasing needs.

Additional value-added services, such as mezzanine storage options or on-site equipment access, can help businesses optimise space and operate efficiently from one secure, central location. For customers renting a small office space, we include a forklift in your package, which you can use to move stock around, or between your office and warehouse.

This helps businesses renting a small office space choose a flexible, cost-effective office solution that fits their operational needs and future growth plans.

What is a small office space for rent?

A small office space for rent is a compact, flexible workspace designed for small businesses that need a professional place to operate without committing to a long-term commercial lease. Many small office spaces can also be combined with mini-warehouses, allowing businesses to work and store goods from one secure location.

Who is a small office space best suited for?

Small office spaces are ideal for small businesses, startups, service-based companies, and growing teams that have outgrown home offices or shared workspaces but don’t need a large warehouse or industrial unit.

Can I rent office space with storage?

Yes. Some small office solutions include office space with on-site storage units (also referred to as micro warehouses), allowing businesses to manage operations, inventory, equipment, or archives from one secure location. This is ideal for businesses that need workspace and storage without leasing separate premises.

Where are your small office spaces located in Johannesburg?

Our small office spaces for rent in Johannesburg are located in key business areas, including Benoni, Sandton, and Alberton, offering convenient access and secure facilities. See our full list of locations.

Will the rental rate change if I sign up for a longer period?

Rental pricing can vary depending on the rental period. Businesses can choose a month-to-month office space rental or opt for a longer-term lease, which may offer cost benefits.

You can sign a month-to-month contract or a year-long lease (which gives you one month free on your rental). However, if you sign a one-year lease U Can Store requires payment upfront for the year.

What happens if I leave without giving notice?

U Can Store requires one calendar month’s notice via email. If you vacate your office or storage unit without giving sufficient notice, you will unfortunately forfeit your deposit. When this happens, we need to retain your deposit so that we can cover the additional month’s rent.

What are the standard terms of a U Can Store rental contract?

Most small office spaces for rent are offered on flexible terms, including month-to-month agreements. Tenants are typically required to provide one calendar month’s notice when moving out, making this a suitable option for businesses that need flexibility.

What is included in the micro-warehouse/office solution?

Depending on the location, our storage units with office space combos include warehouse space ranging between 36m2 and 90m2, with access to meeting rooms (some ensuite) and a dedicated forklift to help you move stock around. This micro-warehousing/office combo gives you all the necessary tools to help you run your small business from a secure, accessible and centrally located warehouse and office space.

What is the mezz unit and when would I need one?

A mezz unit is a standard loft-like platform that gives tenants extra storage space at an affordable price. This solution is for existing customers who need extra space but don’t want to incur the cost of a full additional unit.

Are additional services like trailer or forklift rental available?

Yes. Businesses renting office or storage space can access additional services such as trailer rentals and forklift assistance, helping move stock or equipment safely and efficiently. Charges and availability vary depending on usage.

Can I store company vehicles in your business storage facilities?

Forklift rental: We rent out forklifts by the hour. They are operated by one of our qualified operators.
Trailer rental: U Can Store offers trailer rentals at a daily rate to all tenants with a valid driver’s licence.

long-term commercial leases.
