What to check before you sign
Notice period (30 days is normal for month-to-month, 60 to 90 at some executive-suite operators), the deposit (one to two months), whether meeting rooms are included or billed hourly, and whether the price quoted is per desk or per office. The listing for each centre on SquareFoot shows the published rate and the term, and a SquareFoot specialist confirms the current availability with the operator before you tour.
How SquareFoot fits in
