Family protests when woman refuses to rent apartment to cousin at half of market rate: 'I could easily rent it out for $1800'

A woman working in tech had recently moved from her one bedroom apartment to a larger, more convenient home, but she had kept her original place with the intention of renting it out and using the money towards her mortgage. She had been preparing to do some minor renovations for the rental market.

When her aunt heard about this, she demanded that she let the apartment to her cousin. He had just started an entry-level job and was struggling to find a place he could afford. The issue was that she wanted her to rent it at half the price it would go for on the rental market, and she wasn't comfortable with that.
