> You do understand that people advertise apartments available for rent before the previous tenant has moved out... True, but sometimes people just leave without giving warning, or the next person can't move in immediately. Sometimes, in a limited supply market, the landlord will wait for someone willing to pay a specific price since they know there's no other options. In San Francisco, that's the case for roughly 5% of the units at any given time.
