Could you rent an airbnb (or hotel) for the length of the job?  Or just to begin while you decide if it’s worth renting a place?

Well yes, thanks, you have a good point there....i once relocated for a job...took out a 6 month AST, and in the first week, found out that the company i'd come to was just a "token" electronics company. They just "pretend" to do Electronics Engineering, the real business of the company was a secret, "behind the scenes", (out of sight) Chinese electronics importation business. Found this out just after signing up for the 6 month AST !

When  I was a lad......40+ years ago....rental properties were always administered by

"letting agencies", and all the transfer of bills and viewing of rooms etc was just their normal

"bread and butter"...no drama.

..
If a landlord finds viewings and bills a problem or a pain..then time to sell  up the property

and get out....save yourself the stress.

..

But just clearing off when you were payed up in rent...

that never used to bother anyone. -they just got someone else in....kept the deposit and pre-payed rent.
"Admin" of getting a new tennant?...that was just their "bread and butter"...no bother.

What does something being 'bread and butter' have to do with charging for your time? Eg a plumber's bread and butter is their time in going to jobs, fixing pipework, etc. If you contracted with them to fix a bathroom in one house, and once they started said acutally sorry please fix the bathroom in another house instead, they would charge for the extra call out / travel. Its not a bother, but it is time which they hadn't agreed to spend.
