[hackerspaces] Rent: is a space 'business usage'? (legal questions, Germany)

[Björn Oelke]

Hi,

our hackerspace[1] needs to move soon and the landlord of a potential new location just said he's sorry but he was told he needs an additional permission by the authorities to rent out the room to a club. ("Gewerbliche Nutzung")

We're non-profit, in German "gemeinnütziger Verein", and we're not using the location for commercial purposes, just some club mate and stuff like that with nearly no margin.

I'd be happy if someone could clarify this. :)
