What Are Occupier Services?

Occupier Services—also called Tenant Representation—are professional services designed to support businesses that rent commercial spaces. Instead of dealing alone with landlords, contractors, maintenance issues, lease obligations or operational disruptions, tenants can rely on an experienced real estate consultant to handle all day-to-day property-related matters.

It is a proactive, ongoing support service that ensures your premises operate smoothly, your lease obligations are met, and your business can focus on performance—not property problems.

At GroundWorks Mauritius, our Occupier Services are tailored for tenants operating retail outlets, offices, showrooms, and commercial units across the island.

Why Do Tenants Need Occupier Services?

Running a business in a rented space comes with weekly—and sometimes daily—property-related challenges. Most tenants don't have the time or experience to manage these issues, especially when operating multiple outlets. Occupier Services provide clarity, support, and operational peace of mind.

Here’s why more and more tenants rely on professionals:

1. Avoid operational disruptions

Leaks, electrical faults, faulty air-conditioning, blocked drains, cracked flooring—these small issues can interrupt your operations, affect sales, or even force temporary closures. With a dedicated occupier representative, problems are identified early and resolved quickly.

2. Ensure the landlord respects the lease obligations

Many tenants are unaware of what repairs fall under the landlord’s responsibility versus their own.
We ensure:

  • responsibilities are clearly followed

  • issues are escalated when necessary

  • repairs are completed within reasonable timelines

3. Save time and avoid daily site headaches

Business owners and managers cannot stop their work to chase contractors or follow up repeatedly with a landlord. Occupier Services remove these distractions.

4. Reduce costs with better contractor management

We source reliable contractors, compare quotes, ensure works are done properly, and avoid unnecessary spending.

5. Maintain a good relationship with landlords

We act as your representative, handling communication tactfully and professionally—protecting your relationship with building owners and centre management teams.

6. Ensure compliance and risk prevention

We monitor basic fire safety, signage, access, and other operational risks to keep your staff and customers safe—and avoid penalties or operational delays.

7. Ideal for tenants with multiple outlets

Managing two or more locations doubles the challenges. With Occupier Services, each outlet receives regular inspections, reporting, and follow-up—ensuring consistency across all your premises.

What GroundWorks Provides: The Tenant Support You Can Trust

With more than 12 years of experience in commercial real estate, leasing, expansions, and tenant advisory, I’ve worked directly with Mauritius’ leading brands and landlords. I understand how buildings operate, how morcellements and commercial centres are managed, and how to efficiently resolve tenant issues.

This experience allows GroundWorks to offer a structured service designed exclusively for tenants.
