Running a business from a rental property? Advice please?

Posted at: 2014-12-08 
Does anybody run a business from a rental property? Is it something that landlords would be too fussy about? Any possible issues?

Depends on the business and just how much if any of the rental property was involved.

For example running a website from a rental is fine.

But running something like a factory would be a major problem

And yes its in almost all tenancies that you CAN NOT run a business from the premises. (insurance would be invalid, and it could also be prohibited by local laws in some places.)

So as a general overall response as a landlord i would say you would be declined permission to run anything from a rental unless its web based or a small office in your home. But even a small office would require permission.

If you are referring to a residential rental property, the lease undoubtedly prohibits your use of the premises for business use....

LOTS of possible issues, from their carrier denying coverage following a loss to increase foot traffic, to zoning and taxes.
