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?

    Be real surprised if the hallways/common areas arent surveilled. Likely to lead to trouble when it comes time to bring in the china hutch and the bedding.

      Could maybe have things packaged up like they were sent in the mail and carry them in? That doesn't help for a lot of existing furniture, but it could get clothes, toiletries, bedding, a mattress, and some storage through? And chests of drawers might not necessarily look weird getting moved into an office.

      Idk, I think it could work?

        Biggest risk is like fire inspector, city inspector or someone coming in and seeing residential use in a commercial building and an eviction following suit.

        Might get away with an "artist studio" like user above aaidwith a work space in one corner and maybe a futon, basics in one corner and minimum appliances (mini fridge, microwave, kettle) it can't look permanent, which is hard.

          I think if it had break room vibes and were kept spotlessly clean all the time, that could build some plausible deniability maybe? Super ultra tidy doesn't look lived in.
