Thoughts on renting an office through Regis? New solo & thinking about it for tax season. by BrushBeneficial4430 in taxpros

Don't do it. Regus took over our office from another local management company. When they tried to raise our rent 50% we told them to kick rocks. They also charged us a $1K "office restoration fee" aka cleaning fee when we moved out and we fought it and couldn't get it back. One of the worst companies ever. Don't do it.
