Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Lease

[Morgan Adzei]

Agreed, I am a commercial broker and not just a partner in the coworking
biz, and gave him per his email the exact information he nees for the
higher sentiment of his scenario and things to do as a tenant vs an
operator biz-owner.


See my email from a few days ago, but the landlord either knows of this
infringement or is using the sublet as a known right. However, you
"Coworking Owner" should not be subletting license agreement baby.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking Lease

[Morgan Adzei]

Good morning,

What advise I can suggest is first you should have assignment rights, as a
safety. However, you guy are missing the smaller time frame sentiment or
picture. You have a lease, but those underneath you should not. Rather,
since they are YOUR BUSINESS MODEL clients and "MEMBERS" you should award
them with twelve (12) month license agreement-renewable of course.

Hear is the logic and also I do this with my bldg and coworking members &
it works well. Do as such you then skip having to pay your LL extra rent
and constantly have to approve sublet that is crazy. Which is also direct
conflict of interest to your model amd inital lease usage. You can call me
direct I am also a NYC commercial broker so I know some things.

Thank you, Morgan.

Re: [Coworking] Member Business Licenses

[Morgan Adzei]

Over reach of the state. It not like there are liquor licenses, or real
estate, insurance or accountants. Crazy consult a lawyer as this is very
disturbing what ordinance are they trying to satisfy. You should ask them
in commercial office building do they require license from every tenant
leasing. Ask to speak to a supervisor. Good luck.
