are you asking for advice for your own place or as a gotcha? in any case, we're a core group of 16 people that split the rent. there are some events throughout the year that bring in some money for upkeep a bit.

    i'm asking as a legit question. rent where i live for any commercial space is several thousand dollars a month, so you need a sweetheart deal to be able to run any space, or a huge grant or some other big source of funding.

    in my case our space was given to us free by someone as a evenings-only lease on on an space that was owned outright by a rich guy and he used us a tax write-off/donation to the tune of $3000/mo.
