It makes it look as if it's done in purpose and gives a little foyer space to take off your shoes.If a wall has been taken down between rooms and the flooring has a gap right along that former wall, I do the same as above: Fill it in with marble tiles.If I have a very small bathroom where I need to redo the floor with tiles - I build a small false wall in front of the bathtub: furred out with 2"x4" sideways and plywood on top.

I would than rerent the space with a clause in the lease that only one person can live in the apartment due to you lease with the commercial client.
