Is a Permit Required for My Booking?

When booking a space through Spare Space, it’s important to understand that permit and permission requirements can vary depending on your location, activity type, and scale of the event or shoot.

🧾 Permit & Permission Requirements

Some cities or local authorities may require official permissions or permits for certain activities conducted at private or commercial properties. Factors that may determine this include:

1. The type of booking (e.g., event, shoot, meeting, workshop, etc.)

2. The number of attendees or crew size

3. Equipment being used (such as lighting, props, or production gear)

4. The duration of the activity

5. The location of the space

6. Whether food, alcohol, or amplified sound will be present

Your Responsibility

As stated in Spare Space’s Terms of Use, it is the responsibility of both hosts and guests to comply with all applicable local laws and obtain any required permissions or permits before the booking.

Next Steps

We recommend:

1. Checking with your local municipal office or events department to understand if your activity requires official permission.

2. Allowing sufficient time before your booking to complete any approval or documentation process.

3. Communicating with your host, who may already have knowledge of local regulations or existing permits for their space.

Securing the necessary permits or permissions ensures your booking runs smoothly and protects both you and your host from any potential legal or operational issues.
