In California, USA, a landlord is demanding an extra $200 per month from tenants who work from home. This practice has sparked outrage on social media, with some users arguing that remote workers increase costs such as electricity, water, and heating.
elchi reports that the demand for an additional $200 per month from remote-working tenants in California has caused a stir on social media.
The approximately 50-square-meter detached house in the San Francisco Bay Area was listed for rent at $3,250 per month, including electricity, water, heating, air conditioning, and internet. However, the listing drew attention by requiring an additional $200 fee from tenants who work from home.
The listing sparked criticism from Reddit users. Some users called the practice “crazy” and “absurd,” claiming that the extra fee was only being demanded to extract more money from the tenant.
One user criticized the practice, stating that it is unlikely that remote workers increase expenses by $200. Some Reddit users argued that staying home all day could increase the use of electricity, water, air conditioning, and heating systems. One user noted that working from home increases their own expenses, while another mentioned that running air conditioning or heating all day could lead to additional costs.
