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

SquareFoot is an office brokerage and marketplace. It is free for tenants; the operator pays on signing, so the price you see is the operator’s own rate.
