We made our common house a separate for profit partnership on a separate lot. Each homeowner buys a share and gets the tax benefits of owning a piece of real-estate that depreciates each year and manages to not show a profit. That said, we have aggressively renting out our common room with non commercial kitchen for six years. The kitchen is used as a prep area for potluck or catered food brought in from outside. Two officials for our health department live in Marsh Commons and have not questioned this practice. Our space is popular with groups like the Green Party, Earth First, local organic community garden groups, small private school graduations. art exhibits, yoga groups, local for profit and non profit groups that need meeting areas larger that their office can accommodate, and parties of all types (usually with celebrants that are friends of people here). The issues that have come up are around keeping the place clean enough for renters and avoiding rentals during our three evenings a week meal times.
