Bay Area Landlord Demands $200 Extra A Month From Tenants That Work From Home: 'are They Going To Keep 24/7 Surveillance?'
Remote work should save you money, not come with an extra cost.
Working from home devotees often praise the fact that doing your job from your house stops you from spending on the commute and lunchtime corporate slop bowls, among other benefits. The ability to clock in without even having to roll out of bed is also a benefit, too.
However, not everybody is comfortable with the idea of a person who conducts their business in their house as well as living in it. If you live with other people, they might get annoyed at somebody being in their personal space for much longer than somebody who works elsewhere. On top of that, what you save in filling up your car can get spent elsewhere, namely internet and electricity bills. It's not going to make anybody who is scrutinizing household expenses too happy.
As a result, it probably shouldn't be too much of a surprise that some landlords get weird around the idea of renting to someone who works remotely. Their property is going to undergo more consistent use than otherwise, and obviously, that is all the more reason to go looking for a reason to sneak in some extra charges.
