Don’t forget to tip your landlord!
We are supposed to give an extra one month rent here when signing a contract as thankyou money to the landlord for letting you stay there.
At least you can usually argue out of it as it isn’t a legal requirement, just custom. I don’t think I have ever actually paid it, but it is still a hassle.
Japan right? It’s such fucking bullshit
Yup! Good old key money.
You can usually get out of it, but the fact that it’s kind of accepted without second thought is really annoying.
What the actual fuck
not to mention that airbnb also supports “israel”
Meanwhile I’m in China paying a 1/10 of the fake price (out of season tbf)
It’s cheap even in season. Utterly insane prices out there.
I think my favourite part of my job is never needing to deal with bullshit airbnb and/or hostel fees. Still got them in everything else, but at least not for hotels.
I have seen so much snuck in on those under the “cleaning fee” pretense.
