More Renters Are Using Tools to Skip Security Deposits, but There’s a Catch

Third-party services charge fees to help renters bypass some upfront costs of signing a lease. Unlike traditional deposits, the money won’t be returned to tenants.

Thanks for the space. Friend has only received $20 in the past three weeks and they are still in *dire need* of funds to cover $1200 monthly rent, plus food and post-op care costs! Help *urgently* needed!

#Beirut will recover, but what urban realty is formed through repeated cycles of war, and who will inhabit it ?
Since late 2024, more than a million people in #Lebanon have been displaced. In a country of six million, this movement alters how space is inhabited and organized.

War and the Production of Space: Notes from Beirut | The Brooklyn Rail

Since late 2024, more than a million people in Lebanon have been displaced at different moments of the conflict. In a country of around six million, this scale of movements is equivalent to displacing over 57 million people in the United States, fundamentally altering how space is inhabited and organised. The changes I observe do not only reflect the disruption of the old urban scene, they point to war as a mode of spatial production.

Always appreciative of the space. Friend's bank account is still *dangerously low* and needs to cover $1200 monthly rent, plus food and post-op care costs! Help still *very badly needed!*

Paying your rent with a credit card could be a good idea — if you pay your balance
Housing is the biggest monthly expense for many Canadians — which is why a growing number of fintech companies are making it possible to pay rent with a credit card and earn rewards points or cash back. But as CBC’s Dale Manucdoc explains, it could be a slippery slope for people whose balances aren't paid in full each month.

Owning more than one home should be a privilege, not a right. Turning basic needs like housing and food into instruments of wealth is absolutely disgusting.

What amazes me is how my "liberal" friends and acquaintances clutch their pearls at this. It's easy to talk about equality and social justice from behind a keyboard and a six figure income.

We want justice. No, not like that. Not at the cost of our own privilege!

Situation is getting *dire*. My friend barely has the funds to even get to appointments now, their bank account is that low. They still need $1200 monthly rent, plus food and post-op care costs, and their landlady is *still* refusing to help them with the housing costs!

Thanks for the space. My friend's GFM has stalled three+ weeks, and their bank account is so low they can barely afford getting to appointments. They still need to cover $1200 rent, plus food and post-op care costs! Help is *critically* needed!
