Yea man, this is a good point, never thought of that.
As for myself, I am planning on renting my space to a reputable
band/producer from this area. They will be using the studio and some
equipment for a set period of time and I just wanted to get some sort of
written agreement stating the expectations of both parties. It's my first
time down this road, I usually only do hourly rates and no one else touches
my toys...!!

On most long range projects, and especially flat
rate projects, I draft a simple letter of agreement
stating what we agreed on, and we both sign it. Much
more casual than a contract, and will hold up pretty
well in court (though I have never needed to do that, and
only once can I remember ever having to bring up a point
listed in the letter)...

Go to www.microsoft.com/office and grab some templates there to tweak to
your liking.
Cover the usual stuff
Period of contract (rent for how long in your case and at what rate during
what hours, etc)
Damages: When due and on what basis
Rentals: If your stuff breaks midsession, who covers the costs of
replacement rental gear?
Do a walk through inventory check before the rental starts and once they are
done, on your time.
A lot of guys forget this one - who cleans up after the band?
Smoking, drugs, drinks.. you allow 'em in the studio? Cover it.
If they want to extend the contract time to complete an over run schedule,
how will that be handled?
Well, you get the idea. Have fun man!
