If a landlord follows the laws in LA (set in 2005), which includes paying for temporary relocation including food, lodging, telephone transfers, moving expenses, etc, the landlord can apply 50% of the costs of improvements on to the lease (capped at 10% increase). 

Often used before the late 1970's as cheap material and we didn't know it frays and gets lodged into lungs.

from a users standpoint  ( me) I simply dont care for them anymore prices too high cleaning fee's too high and accomodations very hit and miss.. so back to Motel hotel fishing lodges.

s thesis.The argument that median home prices have gone up so much, or are holding so high, due solely or in large part from institutional investors acquisitions activities has been lodged by some persons and journalistic outfit's of some substantial size. 

The decline comes as this year’s relatively cool housing and rental markets makes investing in homes less attractive than it was during the pandemic-driven homebuying frenzy of 2021 and early 2022, when record numbers of AirBnB were purchased as hotel and lodging surrogates (Redfin defines an investor as any institution or business that purchases residential real estate).The drop in purchases has brought the total number of homes bought by investors below pre-pandemic levels, which is a major concern for a market where investors remained the last remaining support pillar now that most average Americans seeking to buy their first home are simply unable to afford it and are stuck renting indefinitely.Real estate investors bought roughly 50,000 U.S. homes in the second quarter, the fewest of any second quarter in seven years, with the exception of the start of the pandemic."

This statistic looks shocking but according the NYT "the national vacancy rate hasn’t changed very much over the past 20 years, moving from 9 percent in 2000 to 11.4 percent in 2010 to 9.7 percent in 2020"Also, when you read the Lending Tree article, the Census Bureau defines "vacant" (any home unoccupied on April 1) as:For rent: These are vacant units offered “for rent,” or vacant units that are offered for either sale or rent.Rented, not occupied: These are vacant units where a rental agreement has been reached but the future occupants haven’t moved in yet.For sale only: These are vacant units currently on the market.Sold, not occupied: Similar to “rented, not occupied,” this category covers homes that have sold but the new owner hasn’t moved in yet.For seasonal, recreational or occasional use: These include homes for seasonal use like beach cottages and hunting cabins or lodging for seasonal workers like herders and loggers.

We expense against our investment business our travel and lodging costs when we visit our former home area to manage our rentals, acquire property, etc.Its worked well for us. 

And likely to be for quite a while as they are redefining the vacation lodging game.
