I just checked the rents in my area and I could rent a large commercial space for only $1k when absolutely tiny studios here are $1.5k minimum. I checked the building has 24hr access and I will be asking if it has a water hookup. Is it too risky?

When you apply for commercial space, don’t they want your company’s tax ID and a copy of your business plan? And aren’t they often five-or-more year leases?

I've toured commercial (non retail) spaces and never been asked about this, and we made it clear we were just hobbyists looking to rent a workspace basically. We never did get to the point of signing a lease but the agents wouldn't have wasted time with us if that were the case I don't think. For bigger spaces and more formal enterprises I'm sure things are different

Yeah they only asked for a bank statement. It's a 2 year minimum lease tho so idk.

I'm assuming they can't make you keep paying for the space if they've kicked you out for living in it lmao

But who knows
