      Fine, but don’t profit and offer a decent rent length.

        offer a decent rent length.

        They don’t take that risk.

        In my city, most of the singles actually keep their own appartments when moving in with a new loved one. It isn’t because of the money, it is their safety net so they can move back eventually. Very few of these appartments are actually rented out. Most are just empty.

        And of course they would not want to wait for a year or so.

          This number would so low I’m guessing it wouldn’t really move the needle. It’s like having 1 house mate instead of 2 in a 3room appt.
