Can "Evil CEO" simply never leave home or call their workplace (Evil Co) home?

I wondered about this as soon as I read the headline, what's the story if you live on the premises of your business?

I'd love to hear an actual answer to this.

A friend of mine realised that office space is often cheaper than actual rental accommodation. We were thinking it'd be pretty cool to rent an office, and live in it (illegally) pretty sure in most cases that's not allowed. Depends on the type of work I guess. I knew a nomadic guy who slept in his car in the Foodstuffs car park when he worked at the distribution centre. Security didn't like it. Most people don't sleep at their workplace but no doubt there's an exception somewhere.

It's not, largely because the safety systems in a residential building are to a higher standard than a commercial premises, as people are sleeping.

People absolutely do sleep on site though.
