We haven't been doing this for very long, so I'm sure there are other folks
w/lots more to offer! However, I have been in Real Estate for 15 yrs and am
careful that all of our verbiage uses words like "membership fee includes
use of" without ever using the words "rent" or "lease" to avoid implying
ownership rights of any kind.
Brian R. at Carrboro Coworking did a lot of research on this, w/atty's etc.
You might contact him. He's a super nice guy!
