Now I'm curious, are furnished apartments rare/a minority in the US?
As for the lining up, do apartment hotels exist? They are basically hotels that rent out apartments on a month by month basis. I knew people who also put stuff in storage and lived hotels or hostels, while waiting for the actual apartment residents to leave. Is that not a possibility?
Of course, when the contract dates overlap, then things get a little more difficult...
- pomian 5y agoVery rare. Rentals are 99% bare bones. Apartment hotels are also very rare. Usually available on the low end of desirability. Usually run down and so on.
- x0x0 5y agoIn the US, monthly furnished apartments come in two flavors: SRO (single room occupancy) -- typically very shitty and dangerous. Full of people priced out of society, junkies, people transitioning out of prison, etc. Executive housing -- typically very expensive, used by traveling execs or temporarily by employees a company relocated and as @pomian said, the vast vast majority of apartments in the US come with no furniture, though (in contrast to at least Germany), they do come with a kitchen and appliances. Washer/dryer/AC are not standard but common.
- Popegaf 5y agoThank you for answering the questions. Quite eye-opening. The situation does seem very limiting. I imagine it can "trap" people in undesirable locations.
