If you knew, should have known or did not take reasonable steps to prevent the unlawful behavior you could get into trouble. Also, if the practice is pervasive throughout your parlor you could be presumed to know or encourage the activity and get into trouble. Contact me directly and I can put you in touch with someone to help you draft your "independent contractor" agreements with the people renting your space to reduce your liability for their activities.
