Rent the Backyard (YC S19) wants to build a studio apartment in your yard
People who can afford their home will not like watching their property values and quality of life decline because a neighbor “rented” its back yard.<p>Taking the Uber approach - ignoring laws - won’t work here, so this business is entirely at the mercy of permit laws.  I find it astounding that some ideas get prominent backing.<p>Furthermore, home owners will discover that having people travel alongside their homes to reach the rented studios will be unpleasant and unsafe.<p>Will the tenant be allowed to come and go at any hour?  Will the home owner know that the person creeping alongside their bedroom window at night is the tenant rather than a burglar?<p>Will the tenant be allowed to park in the homeowner’s driveway, or will they line the front curbs of the house with their car and any visitors’ cars?
