Good tip, but not all landlords would do something like this for you, even if you pay more - at least in my renting experience (some landlords wouldn't fix a broken window). So yeah if you make upgrades / changes and then you move you lose your money and time investment. That's one of the reasons I consider buying, right now prices are low.

Can you give a ratio: number of staff / number of toilets = ?

What I'm thinking is that 11 years of renting equals the amount for building (even buying) your own small office. Then on the 12th year you have free office space and an asset and you don't deal with the landlord anymore

Do you shoot there? I mean do you have a studio somewhere else?
