Good day, I’d just like to ask for your professional opinions. We are renting for a small space here for a coworking space and some clients would like to set up a virtual office. However, our contract with the building owner says that subleasing is not allowed. However, letting someone use the space’s address non-exclusively is not called subleasing right? If so, how do we go about it where we can still offer virtual office without it appearing as a subleasing kind of contract.
No it’s not subletting. Its basically the same membership agreement for coworking, you are just providing a service of mail collection and forwarding. Subletting would be if you were carving out a piece of your coworking facility and leasing it to them.
We have private offices but we dont lease them. Members sign a license agreement to use the office. Think hotel rooms. You pay a room rate but hold no lease hold rights to the space. Same type of agreement. No leasing, no problem

I had the same issue and the feedback from the lawyer was the they have a licence to use the desk but not a lease. Issuing a lease gives the customer rights and typically the landlords don’t like that.
Other things I advised was to only issue the licence in 6 month blocks.
I hope that helps.

You need to speak with a lawyer in your city: laws governing commercial real estate vary greatly from place to place.
Nobody on this forum can tell you how to go about this without knowing where you are and what the law is in your jurisdiction, you need a lawyer for that.
The options are licensing, subleasing, and rental on the basis of sharing, but that covers quite a lot of ground and there are a number of issues that need to be looked at.

I think this group is very useful to explore such questions. Yes, laws change from place to place, but mostly they are very similar. Even one choses to take professional consulting service from a property lawyer to reach final decision, it is still good to learn from others before talking to a lawyer. You may end up paying much less to a lawyer if you are educated on the matter. If they sense you know nothing about it they tend to complicate things instead of offering a simple solution.
