89.3 KPCC: Are Year-Long Rental Leases on the Way Out?

Submitted by hoyt on Wed, 02/10/2016 - 16:32

Los Angeles rental listings site RadPad has added short-term rentals as an option for tenants and landlords.

Traditionally, the site focused on long-term rentals and was primarily in competition with sites like Craigslist and West Side rentals. Now, it joins sites like Airbnb, VRBO and Home Away, in offering homes and apartments for short periods of time.

But, RadPad CEO Jonathan Eppers tells KPCC the short-term listings on the site won't be as short as one day. Rather they'll list week-to-week and month-to-month stays.

Submitted by hoyt on Wed, 01/20/2016 - 16:56

For months, commercial real estate agent Matt Crabbs had seen almost no interest in his listing for a vacant retail building on La Brea Avenue in Inglewood.

"People are sharpening their pencils and seeing what they can do there," he said. "It's incredible."
