Our office building management is giving half a month free for new referrals; meanwhile they are refusing to rent us more floor space.

Why would they do that? Would it not make more sense to focus on existing customers instead of chasing new leads? I mean, sure, don't put all your eggs in one basket. But when an existing customer is asking you to take their money, why turn them down?
Speculating:

One company occupying the extra: company goes bust, you lose their business, probably spend months/years fighting with a bankruptcy holding company to get paid and maybe lose.

Two companies occupying the same space: same risk, but you still get paid for the extra space while dealing with it.
