I have a recent request for my furnished rental.

Can you imagine taking a couple days off work, looking for a new place, paying for new applications, putting down deposits, renting a moving truck, finding friends to help you move, paying to clean your old place, and so on to “Save” $300/yr? 

Can you make it a 12 bedroom 12 bathroom?
