Problem

You need a space for meetings and as a lab, to store and work on materials for projects. In order to minimize rent or out of sympathy, you think it’s great when someone lives in your space. But somehow it doesn’t work, as you cannot use the lab anymore.

Implementation

Guest are fine, but don’t let anyone live there. Kick them out if necessary.
