Once a new tenant completes Our Application Process, they will receive access to the Bauer Properties Online Calendar. In addition to calendar access, they will be issued a individual Access Key Code that will open the back door, front door, Suite C, and Suite E. They will also receive a single key that will open each of the shared office suites that have not been changed to a key code lock.

At startup tenants are asked to test their key code, key, and access to the online calendar. Tenants should complete this prior to their first appointment. Once the tenants receive a key and online calendar access, they may now start booking their appointments.

Lease Type 1: Flexible By-Appointment Shared Office Rental

Some tenants at Bauer Properties elect the Flexible By-Appointment Lease option. With this option, tenants book their own appointments and pay at the time of booking.

There are a variety of ways tenants choose to book their appointments. Some tenants book their appointments as they need the offices. Some book all their needed appointments at the first of the month. While others book at the first of the week. Some tenants book the same room all the time and some tenants book different rooms for different clients. It is flexible so tenants' book as they like.

When tenants are ready to book their appointments, they should have an idea of the time and office suite they desire. Currently, we have four (4) office suites available to choose from. Please see our Shared Office Gallery for our available suites.

Tenants will book an appointment in the office suite they desire, using the Bauer Properties Online Calendar. Payments is due at the time the appointment is made. Bauer Properties online calendar uses PayPal for payment processing, which has evolved over the years to accept all payment types and options.

Lease Type 2: Fixed Daily or Evening Shared Office Rental

If a new tenant requested a Fixed Daily or Evening Shared Office Rental option in the setup process, they will have already defined a specific day, time, and office they desired to rent. For example, they may reserve & book Suite C every Friday from 3:00pm - 5:00pm or Suite E every Tuesday from 2:00pm - 10:00pm, and so on.

For Fixed Daily or Evening rentals, the Bauer Properties staff will book and reserve the appointments for the new tenant. Once booked, tenants can logon to the online calendar and view a complete list of all their scheduled appointments.

Payment is invoiced the 23rd of the previous month and due at the first of each month through Check, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal payment system.

If tenants need to book additional appointments on different days other than their Fixed Daily or Evening slot, they can use the online calendar to add additional appointments. Payment for additional appointments is due at the time of booking.

Lease Type 3: Private Monthly Office Rental

If a new tenant requested a Monthly Office Rental option in the setup process, they will have already defined a specific office they desired to rent. Please see our Monthly Private Office Gallery for our available suites.

Payment is invoiced the 23rd of the previous month and due at the first of each month through Check, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal payment system.

While using the office, tenants have access to the parking lot, porch, lobby, kitchen, and handicap bathrooms. In the parking lot, there are 4 parking spaces and 1 handicap parking space. Tenants can either chose to park on the street so their clients have priority, or they can park in the lot.

When the tenant arrives for their scheduled appointment, they unlock the building if it is not already unlocked. They turn on the lights for the lobby, hallway, kitchen and adjust the air conditioning or heating as needed. They obtain their door plaque from the mail slot area and check to see if they received any mail. They then place the door plaque in the door of the office suite they have scheduled. This will allow their clients to easily find their office. They then place the noise cancelling machine in the hallway as desired and unlock the front door if desired.

When a tenant is the only one in building, it is at their discretion on how the doors will be opened. Some tenants open the front and back doors, allowing their clients easy access to the building. Others leave the front door unlocked and back door locked. While Others may prefer all the doors locked and when their client arrives, they give them entrance to the building. Again, it is at the tenant's discretion when they are the only tenant using the facility.

When they are not the only one in the building the common policy is to leave the doors unlocked. However, tenants can talk among themselves and decide what works best.

During the Pandemic, several tenants elected to leave the doors locked and access to the building controlled by tenants. It should be noted, if a tenant or their clients ever feel unsafe, they may lock the doors as needed.

There are security lights and surveillance camera in use and the neighborhood has been found to be very secure.

Once the tenant's appointments have been completed, the tenant should straighten the office they used, return the door plaque to their mail slot, turn off and return the noise machine to the room, and move all trash to the kitchen or porch trash can. Please review these additional requirements implemented during the Pandemic Cleaning Practices & COVID.

Next the tenant will check to see if they are the only one in the building. If so, they will turn off all lights, return the air conditioner or heating (if changed) to an energy saving level, lock the front door, and then exit through the back door. If using Suite E, please turn off the air conditioning or heating unit prior to exiting that suite.

If the tenant leaving is not the only tenant in the building, they are not required to lock the doors. If the tenant leaving is the only tenant in the building and there are persons waiting inside the building for a tenant who is not on-site, please ask them to wait for the tenant on the front porch, then lock the doors. If there are any concerns, feel free to contact Bauer Properties. If a tenant is in doubt whether there are any other tenants in the build, they are asked to use caution and lock all doors.
