Corporate housing

Any competitors for Zeus? I become intersted today after reading the news about statewide rent control

thehubhaus and many more, they try to rent my house but I rejected all since that would be equivalent to sub-leasing. These guys try to squeeze extra bedrooms into the houses. Their margin is 30-40%. One month free rent means they pay you below market rent, and don’t get any benefits, yet suffer high wear and tear because of heavy traffic. AFAIK, not many landlords in SV rents to them.

How do they squeeze extra bedrooms? Do they build walls to make living room or dining room into bedrooms?

They should be able to pay top rent since they rent rooms furnished.

I found the following competitors. Which is good? Can we get a rank of these companies for Bay Area?

They get top rent, not pay you top rent. Is the same silly idea for Uber and Lyft, you don’t use good cars :grinning: use Prius :rofl:

They build walls to squeeze more bedrooms? Does it require building permit? This can be risky

I am still interested as long as they don’t AirBnb for less than 30 days. I don’t like AirBnb less than 1 month which could be illegal.

If your house is not well remodeled and can squeeze 2 extra bedrooms, might be ok. Your house essentially becomes dorms.

Dorms for whom? What’s their clients? Do they put questionable people in the house?

Other than corporate housing or co-living startups, there’s also a startup onerent who helps leasing and property management. Any experience or opinion on onerent? https://www.onerent.co/
