How often do Americans pay rent? When they say rent was $750 do they mean weekly or fortnightly?

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

If it's not specified, monthly. Otherwise it's specified.

The only fortnights that exist in America is the video game. It's not a division of time used here.

Monthly.

Usually monthly when unspecified. However, I would do a ton of stuff to get my rent to $750, that's literally 1/3 of what it is now (also just got notice it will increase come renewal of course)
