I'll ask my landlord if they take that next time. I'm sure the company would love to earn experience from my work instead of money too since it's so valuable.

Well, you can always ask. These deals are voluntary.

  There is a huge gulf between "we agreed on these terms given extant circumstances" and "this is a voluntary relationship". The gulf exists because extant circumstances can be inherently coercive. Sorry to burst your ancap bubble though.

    What a strange way to converse

      Retreating to criticism of rhetoric is a classic signal that you have no substantive rebuttal.

Well stated. Makes me wonder... Maybe you can somewhat pay your landlord in living experience, frequently blogging about your amenities included in the place for a possibly more-than-one-time rent extension for pandemic purposes.

  That's not experience, that's advertising.

While you are laughing, tenants absolutely pay landlord in "experience". For commercial rents, tenants like Apple in shopping malls pay significantly less than regular rate (https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-gets-sweet-deals-from-mall-operators-1426007804 https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-gets-sweet-deals-from-mal...). Prince Harry move to Montecito increased property values around his house (https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/montecito-home-next-to-prince-harry-meghan-markle-on-sale-for-29m/ https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/montecito-home-next-to-prince-...). I am sure many luxury buildings in any city would be happy to rent apartment to him for free just for publicity it will generate. This is equivalent to having Google/Apple on your resume. Even if you are nobody, there are experiences you can provide to the landlord in lieu of rent (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/landlords-are-targeting-vulnerable-tenants-solicit-sex-exchange-rent-advocates-n1186416 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/landlords-are-targeting...) [Do not recommend, probably illegal for both sides]

  That's not experience, that's clout. Also I think it's pretty clear this discussion does not pertain to corporate or celebrity tenants.

I'll ask my landlord if they take that next time. I'm sure the company would love to earn experience from my work instead of money too since it's so valuable.
