    I don’t think listing is meant as somewhere to live (I hope) I think it’s meant for someone to rent to go on a roadtrip/camping with

    Edit: I missed the long term part at the bottom :(

      Seeing how the rent is on a weekly basis I think so too. Drop 200 bucks and take out the family to the sea for a nice camping trip

        Seeing as you’re from another instance I’m guessing you’re not from Australia, and came across this thread on /All?

        Weekly rent is, for some weird reason, the norm here. I know most of the world does it monthly, and frankly I think that makes more sense. But it’s not how we do things in Aus.

          I like that our rent and our pay are both weekly, makes it easier to manage as for me that money is just canceled out. Makes budgeting real simple

            I think it’s just a matter of what are you used to.

            We have monthly rent and salary here, and I cannot imagine how I would know how much money I have if I just got 1/4th of my usual pay. (Mortgage, unemployment benefits, pensions, utility bills, basically everything is monthly). And we also don’t negotiate yearly salary, nobody knows their yearly salary at all. The job listings are also for monthly.

            I don’t know why you would have weekly rent/pay, yearly salary listing for a job, yet monthly bills and mortgages/loans.

          In terms of listing or collection? Rent is normally paid fortnightly in SA.
