On: I Lived In Airbnbs For Over A Year. It Was Cheaper Than Renting (2023)

I’ve actually looked into that, and I could not find a single place in the United States (that’s even remotely acceptable to spend time in) where a month stay in an Airbnb would cost less than my rent, which is currently $2300.

Are you factoring in bills, taxes, deposit etc?

Taxes are usually paid by the owner, not the renter.

Deposit is not a monthly (or even annual) expense. Yes, if you move, you have to pay a new deposit, but you get the old one back.

Bills are a valid point.
