Some San Francisco Landlords Don’t Allow Cooking

Back in California, where landlords keep trying to prevent you from having any form of fun in the kitchen. In San Francisco, it's likely that you'll be bound by a lease that forbids you from doing any cooking in your residence. That thing that most of us have to do in order to survive?

The property market in San Francisco is a bit of a nightmare, so you may come across ads for a master bedroom and bathroom combination at an astounding $1,790 per month. Once more, that is a bedroom, not the actual house. Additionally, as it is only a bedroom, cooking is not permitted because the owner doesn't want you to mess it up with your food. Both are daytime visitors.

Journalists conducting research for a piece on the topic came up to 90 separate San Francisco postings that prohibited renters from cooking. They at most permitted the use of a microwave. Furthermore, they weren't all just spare rooms in someone else's home. There were even some studio units whose owners strictly prohibited cooking. The most expensive one, which only permitted microwave cooking, cost slightly under $1900.
