Yes, but this highlights a very tenant-unfriendly side effect of "the algorithm" that I noticed during a recent apartment hunt: monthly rent estimates vary, sometimes wildly, day to day. It's really silly to me that selecting a move in date for next Friday results in a monthly rent $100/month cheaper than a move in date the following week. I mean, I understand some of the variables: length of vacancy, estimated market conditions at the end of the lease, etc, etc, could all contribute to slightly different market conditions or costs to the landlord that they want to pass on to the tenant. But it strikes me as intentionally opaque and hostile to renters.
