What's the connection between smart home tech and raising rents by combining units? I'm confused as to the message.
Catching illegal tenants and airbnbs isn't something I'm too opposed to but the slippery slope this opens up isn't an acceptable risk to me.
- chews 7y agoonce youve evicted a renter for reason, if you happen to have had that happen to a couple renters one can combine the space into one apartment... and rent it as a new apartment type.. new york brownstone style homes / old san francisco ones seem to allow for this to be easier to do.
- Konnstann 7y agoPresumably this doesn't extend to renters that just had their leases run out as opposed to evictions. Otherwise wouldn't you just not renew leases and merge apartments no matter what?
- closeparen 7y agoIn a rent-regulated context, the landlord declining to renew when the lease is up is treated the same as an eviction at any other time.
