What has happened to the rental market?!? I have a small modular home on the front edge of my farm. Clean, safe, well maintained, but nothing special... posted it on FB marketplace for rent at 30% more than the last lease term to cover increased maintenance/services costs, but still ~$200/ month less than comps to have a good choice of tenants...went to have an MRI right after posting and when I came out I had dozens of requests on availability. Crazy! #RealEstateIndustry #RentalHousing

57% of people who own a second home think their income is below average.

Spent this morning hunting for rental flats with my partner ( we don't live together ). It's depressing both with the numbers of people on the hunt, and some of the properties on offer. #housing #RentalHousing #rental

Promo email from Ray White Real Estate, full of wonderful tips for getting the "greatest opportunity to secure a future rental property,"

No. Fuck you. My rent is due on the day it's due. If your systems have issues with coping with receiving the money on the day you told me it's due, it shouldn't be my problem.

Thank god I'm not with these charlatans. Not that my current rental agents are any better, I'm sure.
