Renting Rooms

How many therapist here would rent a room somewhere by the half day, day, week or month if possible if you were fresh out of school, new to an area etc.. if you didnt have a strong clientele and could find a job but had one or two clients that you had as regulars? Now, there is no lease to sign just a contract between you and the owner stating that you have the room the time alotted. If so how much would you be willing pay for each one half, whole, week or month?

When I was first out of school I was able to work in the clinic of the school and I actually rented the room by the hour for as many massages as I had that day or week. Sometimes had to move my stuff around from room to room, but it worked out well. By the end of 6 months I had enough clients to rent a room by the month. Was a little tight some months, but I wouldn't want to do anything else.
