Teaching Hatha Yoga: Secrets of a Yoga Studio Lease

I can hear you saying, "This is not my building and it is not morally my responsibility." You are correct, but the law does not care, unless the wording of your lease protects you. The wording of the lease usually protects the landlord only. The city or town just wants somebody to bring the studio up to current code.
