We have a basic price for using the space and after that you pay for what 
you use.  We also have a private office arrangement.  

For the private office, if somebody has rented an office and it is theirs, 
they have a key and can do with it what they like, it is none of my 
business unless it causes problems with other coworkers.

For the use of space +, they pay for what they use. But who is using it is 
not really my problem unless again they are causing problems with the other 
coworkers.

It is important to keep these separated.  My current private rental 
coworker has a shop in products for atheletes in the front space.  It's his 
and he can let anybody he likes use it.  He also has a massage therapist 
who comes once a quarter to the location and does sport massage.  This is 
not the kind of thing you want to do in a shop, so she books the upstairs 
space (which is for small meetings) and he gets it on his bill.  How he 
works it out with her is not my problem either.

He is not stupid and is aware that getting things for free is fun, but it 
is less fun if the space has to closed because it doesn' t make any money. 
 That is also part of being a memebr of a community.

I am in general not a fan of categorizing things in little boxes, but in 
this case I am:  it is important that your coworkers know what they are and 
are not paying for and what the boundaries are.
