In a region near me the rental market is 99.3% full.
Scumbag landlords charge $200 to view these horrid places no one will ever rent, and their job is showing people the place, one after another. It’s only a half-dozen a day, but that’s a good wage and there’s no end of hopefuls. Apparently, needing a landlord to come out to show you the place is a “call-out”, even if he’s just upstairs.
Of course that’s the “frbo” market; the rental companies can’t get away with that yet. They wish, though.

I hear that from every landlord in every market, whether the economy is booming or shrinking and people are coming or going.
I have never been quoted an occupancy rate less than 90%. I’ve been in buildings under construction and heard “Yes, we’ve already leased most of our units! You’re getting the last ones! So lucky!”
Wait so the people who refuse to go with those big companies (aren’t there principled folks like that, maybe they have a name I’m forgetting) have to deal with that instead?
It was like people who have to pay some fee I thought… searches oh it’s the no broker fee people. So do no broker fee ppl often pay viewing fees? And viewing fees are legal?
This has gotta be some NYC shit

Well if you have 5 vacant units artificial scarcity is pretty easy to achieve by only putting one to market at a time.
