Will apartment managers let you run a massage therapy business out of an apartment?

Me and my business partners thought it would be a really good idea to move out of where we live now and get two apartments one to work in and the other one to live in. We're getting out of school soon and she already has all the business paper-work. We will be doing NO happy endings or anything sexual like that. Will apartment managers let us even do this if I call ask if they have 2 apartments and what were trying to do.

1. City/Municipal Codes may not allow a business establishment to be set up in a residential apartment complex. Even though the owner/manager of the complex may be open to the idea and might let you do that, you need to check with your municipal codes to know whether or not the city/county will allow that type of activity in an apartment complex.
2. Only rarely will local codes allow any business that has retail clients in a residential area. You are better off looking for a home rental in a commercially zoned area of a mixed zoning. Don't sign any lease until you are 100% certain that you can legally run the business you desire in that location.
