Mountain View Man Rents BACKYARD TENT For $900 A MONTH

Mountain View man, John Potter is renting a camping tent erected in his backyard for $46 a night, or roughly $900 a month through the Airbnb website.

Potter said he listed the tent on Airbnb partly as a joke, that is until the offers to occupy the tent came rolling in.

It’s not a prank, though John Potter, the Airbnb host putting his tent for rent, says it sort of started that way.  “I got many, many responses at $20 per night,” Potter said. He then tested out the tent for monthly rentals at $900 per month and he still gets inquiries from people who want to rent the tent out as temporary housing. h/t nbc
