Where we are there is one stand with room for 5 bikes in a nice covered areas. Our employer has to pay frigging £15 per month per key. We have 4 keys. Another company has the other key, though I never see "strange" bikes in there.
And we are not allowed to park under the stairs cos "health and safety". And yes you need one badly parked bike in an emergency and it can end badly, fair enough. We can't bring them in either, cos office enforcement police.
Guess what happens, we just share the keys and cram 6 bikes in if we have to. I bet 7 fit too with a bit of squeezing ;)
It's a bit ridiculous as there are lot of extra car parking spaces but what can you do, the landlord decided to charge and our company has to suck it up.
