Landlords would love it, at least. I personally would hate it, being a renter.
Haha great point. I never thought of that
Your rent right now can be thought of as a large payment split into 12 equal pieces (even though months aren’t actually equal) and your rent payment is just 1/12 of that. If there were 13 months it would just be split into 1/13 so each months payments would be slightly smaller to be the same total
If we transitioned it would take years and for at least some amount of time of overlap they would show both prices so it would be much harder for them to just jack up the price like they would prefer to do
Don't worry, they ain't ever gonna replace the Gregorian calendar.
It's a shame, though. That Jeromian 13 month one sounds like a better fit, whether or not you're in Vancouver!
And I thought you ment because the pubs would be full that week :-(
