Common areas such as lobbies, hallways, stairwells, and other shared spaces are typically included in the total square footage of a rental property. To calculate the square footage of the rental unit, subtract the common space from the total square footage of the building. For example, if the total square footage of the building is 10,000 square feet and the common space is 2,000 square feet, the rental unit would be 8,000 square feet.**<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Does_common_space_need_to_be_included_in_the_total_square_footage_of_a_rental_property\"><\/span>1.
