As a landlord, I've seen irrational competition.
I had a guy list his week by mine on Redweek and undercut my offering price by $300. This made no sense whatsoever.
I had four separate units to rent, and through the various sites I used, I had them all rented by the time this guy posted, luckily. (And, I had inquiries still pouring in.)
So, I emailed the guy telling him I closed my listing, as it had been rented, and asked him to bring his rental price up to $895 like mine. I even offered to forward all inquiries on to him. Again, I had three inquiries in two days wanting my unit that I had to turn away.
This was a high demand location, high demand time period. There is a ball tournament in the area and a major festival for this week. It makes no sense to price his unit for $130 less than maintenance fees, $300 less than me.
The guy emailed me back with a rude reply: "I don't see where any of this is your business."
Couldn't this be construed as an attempt at price fixing?
