Is that legal to do? It says in my apartment contract that you can't have more than 2 permanent residents in a 1 bedroom apartment. Granted, in your case, nobody will be living in the apartment, just working there at times. How did you explain this to the landlord? And were they cool with it? If so, sounds like a neat idea.

Just to clarify, I've never done it. I don't see why it would be illegal... The scenario I was describing does NOT include any 'permanent' residents. They would be there just during normal biz hours (like 10am - 7pm mon-fri). For legal reason, maybe one guy could be the permanent resident and invite 2 or so friends to come use the apt as an office (away from chores, kids, distraction) and help pay part of the rent? I first heard about an apt being used as office space while reading this book by Jessica Livingston: Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days Ann Winblad is one of the founders interviewed in the book and she talks about using a 2-bed apt as the first office space for her startup, in late 1970s. I just find the co-working space to be obscenely expensive, especially for someone on limited income.
