Landlords using Wi-Fi to attract renters
File this under: great ideas that everyone should adopt. Apparently landlords in San Francisco, responding to a weak rental market, are offering all sorts of perks to potential tenants. Among them: free Wi-Fi. According to the San Francisco Chronicle report, craigslist is filled to the brim with ads for apartment that come with Wi-Fi as a standard inclusion. They better watch out, though. Work at homers might catch onto this and totally abuse the Wi-Fi service. I’m fairly certain this free offering isn’t meant for high-volume use.
In any case, this can help renters save. Since almost everyone nowadays is going cell-only, cable company triple-play packages are already right out. With free Wi-Fi it’s down to just a cable subscription. That can help the wallet a little bit. True, you could always kill your television and deal with what’s available on the Web. But, again, I doubt this free Wi-Fi was intended for such high-volume use. Plus, with Internet free, cable should be an easy-to-afford expense.
