It’s already very expensive to rent in a hot housing market like Southern California. Now landlords have found a way to make things even worse.
A growing number of property owners and managers are hitting tenants with extra fees each month — a nickel-and-diming of people that the airlines, for one, have made a core aspect of their business model.
It’s been common for years for landlords to charge more for a parking space or having a pet.

Demonizing landlords is all part of the plan to make being a landlord not worth the hassle, and allow the rich pals of government bigwigs to scoop up the properties on the cheap.
Sooner than later, landlords won’t own anything and that is their plan.
Can’t hardly find a rental here that will take pets.
$1000/mo for a 2 bedroom upstairs unit in a 100+ yo building. No paid utilities . Small rural town.
Young couples have no chance in the Biden economy
Since you are in Indiana, that sounds about the norm. Can you blame the landlords? I am in Indiana in a rural area and that doesn’t sound bad.
Well, if the Deadbeats don’t like the fees, they can find some other desperate landlord to rent to them.
Landlords.
Are there rental comparison sites that are in the same fight?
They think it’s bad now, wait until they have to rent an ethnically diverse, multi-family unit from Vanguard or Black Rock.
I’m guessing landlords do this partly to circumvent rent control laws.
Just be honest and tell the real price.
That's why education is still very important for the young. Get properly educated and land a good-paying job. So you can pay expensive rent and live in a nice place.
In my neighborhood, a couple homes were fixed up and sold. The new landlords are renting them out. Two on the opposite side of my back yard. Asking $6500/month. I thought the $5000/month for homes at the end of the block last year was excessive.
Young couples have to be well-paid techies to afford that.
Damn Biden, hyper-inflation is coming soon and it will destroy hope for young couples.
I get texts and calls almost daily wanting to make a cash purchase of my free and clear 2nd house. I routinely say, "No. Go away". My wife accidentally answer a voice call and well less diplomatic...a quick "F*** Off" and hangup.
I arranged my investment such that the rent of my 2nd house would cover taxes on both that house, my principal residence and sufficient money for maintenance of the 2nd house. When I retire, that takes the property tax monkey off my back.
Absolutely, and if you did get off for $30 or so, you did well! But I agree, I mean, after all, you don’t get a ‘janitor fee’ added to your bill at Walmart when you buy stuff (not that I’d ever shop there, by the way).
So, definitely, if a price is advertised, it has to be a price that the joint intends to honor.
Landlord by title is the Lord of the land and deserves to be treated as royalty.

Now here we have a unit that is among the lowest prices in the area. Even pets are free. And for just a nominal fee we can include doors, windows and running water.
I don’t blame the landlords
But the farmers tire of renting out the old farmhouses after they get destroyed after 2 or 3 times, so they pay people like our family business to dig big holes, burn and and bury them
Dozens and dozens of them over the years
With what they blue states have done to landlords then I don’t see any reason why landlords would continue to be landlords. Not being able to timely evict bad tenants is one huge issue. But depending on the state then there are many other laws that cause serious injury to landlords in an unjustified way.
