We found a tenant right before the beginning on September and offered them $500 off if they signed a lease starting 9/1, and it worked!

Quote from @Jesse Dominguez-Castelan: Back in 2021,I found myself an opportunity in Indiana, where I lived, to purchase a house.

The landlord responded that the lease was not subject to the Rent Adjustment Program since the rental was for “sole use of one or more rooms and shared use of common areas (such as a kitchen) in the residence,” which was a single-family home.In its decision, the court focused on the definition of a “dwelling unit” as used in the exception found in Civil Code section 1954.52(a)(3)(A), which provides that “an owner of residential real property may establish the initial and all subsequent rental rates for a dwelling or a unit about which the following is true…It is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit….” .
