Ask HN: Why long term home rent is always a pain?
I wonder why is it such a pain to rent a place longterm in all countries I know of — you waste about a month of your time and almost sell your soul in infinite negotiations and paperwork for a place.
Why isn’t it even close to airbnb experience - you submit details needed, you put some deposit money, you cover risks with some insurance company and you go?
- warrenm 4y agoThe only two countries I've rented apartments or homes in are the US & Singapore Neither is especially "a pain" There were no negotiations (except on rental start date) - rent was published, and I filtered based on how much I was willing to pay The lease paperwork was pretty simple (as legal documents go, at least)
