Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms.</div><div><br><div><br></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
