In the competitive field of commercial real estate, it is important to understand the factors that affect tenant retention to maintain a stable and profitable leasing environment. This descriptive survey research examined the factors influencing tenant retention among selected commercial leasing businesses in Cebu City, Philippines, with a focus on office and retail lease contracts. A total of 150 tenants (lessees) were purposefully selected to participate in the survey, and data were collected through a questionnaire created by the researcher. The results showed that tenants regarded the management structure of the lessor, building quality, lease pricing, contract terms and conditions, building location, and government regulations as key factors in their decision to stay with their lessors. The study also found that tenants were moderately satisfied with these factors. These findings highlight the importance of lease agreements and property management in tenant retention strategies. Further research on these factors and their impact on property management in Cebu City's commercial leasing sector could provide valuable insights for improving tenant satisfaction and retention.
