University students are living in cheap hotels to “cheat” landlords
- olliej 5y agoHere I fixed the title: “Landlords charging more for rent than a hotel”
- nullandvoid 5y agoWhat a non story, shock it's better value for money getting a hotel insfead of renting a place, when you're only staying over twice a week..
- Spivak 5y agoTrue but someone had to think of the idea. This wasn’t really a thing that people talked about doing until her TT blew up. The choice was always framed as “live at home but miss out on campus life” and she was like “hey, I found a way to do both.” The idea is really only obvious in hindsight.
- Ekaros 5y agoSo living at parents place and then visiting only a few days... Makes perfect sense, but it is in no way cheating landlords.
- serverlessmom 5y agoYeah for sure I was just struck by the simple brilliance of it. Of course even the ability to live at home and attend college is a privilege many folks don't have access to these days.
