What would you do with a month’s free rent?
After seeing everyone’s interest in our Quicken Free Rent Sweepstakes happening on Twitter, we decided to hit the streets of San Francisco and ask, “What would you do with a month’s free rent?”
We heard a lot of great ideas. One gentleman said he’d buy a year’s worth of clothes for his son and another would use the money to pay off a credit card bill after proposing to his girlfriend!

The most popular answer we heard was to use the money for traveling – including trips to New Zealand, New York City, or even Afghanistan. Given that the average rent of a 1-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is $2,172 , we weren’t surprised that a few people said they would put their savings towards next month’s rent.
Here’s a short video of some of our interviews:
We’d love to hear what you’d do if you had free rent this December – tell us in a comment below or ping @Quicken on Twitter!
A few others sent us tweets about how they’d spend a month’s worth of free rent. Here are some examples:
