Is it possible to rent a warehouse for only 6 months?

Question

A friend of mine who is selling on Amazon, needs a warehouse because his business is growing. He told me he was not able to find a warehouse with a contact less than 3 years. None of the warehouse owners is willing to rent less than 3 years? He said he even offered higher rate than what is asked and wanted to rent for only 1 year but the answer is always "no". He wants a shorter term just to try and see if everything is going fine.

Is Houston warehouse market that strong or there is something else going on here?

Go to LoopNet. Find some options that work. Smile and dial. You’ll find something

He is willing to pay more but he can not find

So where is he supposed to look? or what do you suggest him doing?

Also what do you mean by "hard on property"? We are talking about simple warehouse here.

Commercial properties prefer long-term leases of multiple years. Businesses that come and go tend to be failures and hard on the property.

Everything is available for the right price. If he wants short-term, he needs to pay for it.
