Rent seeking with someone else's money? Yeah, that's risky.
- aww_dang 5y agoIf empty you can more readily find another tenant, perhaps at a lower price?
- cronix 5y ago> What's the difference if it's empty? Was it empty though? There is a shortage in housing and it's pretty rare to have an empty rental in this market. You're injecting conditions that don't really exist to make your point.

- _-david-_ 5y ago> What's the difference if it's empty? If it is empty then someone who is willing to pay can rent it.
- jressey 5y agoOftentimes the landlord covers utilities and lumps that up in to the rent, and I have a place in New England where that is the convention. We pay $500-$600/month for heating oil in the winter. Then we have about $300 in electricity and another $300 for water/sewage. These numbers might be off but you get the idea. That's the difference.
