Why is this allowed? This smells awfully Jewish.
Why would they charge like that
>>522615773Literally do not even know. Mao was right about landlords.
>>522615693>>522615773Landlords have found a loophole in housing laws, by having all their properties listed as "Short Term" - so they have higher rates for long term stays.Why would they do this? Because it allows them to get around the bullshit eviction laws that allow people to just squat and avoid being kicked out for years at a time while destroying the property out of spite.They're treated like hotels, and the cops will just drag you out.
>>522615693>>522615773it's a fully furnished apartment. it's meant to be a short term stay for the most part. the longer you stay the more work they will have to do to repair/refurnish the apartment which has to be accounted for in the price >>522615948sounds bullshit. you can always evict someone for nonpayment and unless you live in a very bad part of town, the risk of a tenant destroying your apartment out of spite is low, especially for the very wealthy and gentrified palo alto area that the apartment in the OP is in
>>522615693It's a short term rental. What do you not understand?
It is to get around any rent control laws and allow swift eviction.Basicly there is restrictions on how much a landlord can raise the rent. But if the renter is removed they are no longer raising the rent on a tenant, just setting a new rental price on a vacant location.A year locks them into an agreement and price. A month lets them not renew and raise the rent any month.They cannot wait to raise prices as soon as the market gets more expensive.
>>522616392They advertised it as a 1 bed apartment with $2130/rent and a 12 month lease.
>>522616138>palo altoH1Bs don't care.
>>522615693Wait until you find out they ain't have to provide you with a refrigerator.
>>522616524>1-12 month leaseYou missed that range there. It's a short term rental with the option for longer term, but it costs more because evicting people is hard in California.
>>522616402>A year locks them into an agreement and price. works both ways tho, 12 months fixed term/price contract stops you getting too badly burned if/when reality resurfaces.I wouldn't be especially reliant on Palo Alto real estate going up 100% this year.
>>522615693Because it is walking distance to Stanford, the (((landlords))) are trying to fill it now instead of at the start of the school year. Off season price. The real (((scam))) is the "paid upfront" BS, this may in fact be illegal, CA limits how much advance rent can be charged on move-in to like 2 months even for furnished iirc so this is definitely shady.
>>522616576No longer the case in CA
Why would a single male pay a jew that much for a place to sleep?
