Rental at 2 N 6th Place

It is not really typical for big rental buildings to list square footage. Dimensions on the floor plan are usually considered enough. I think Related never lists the square footage. A big percentage of the renters think that their apartment sq footage is bigger than it actually it including walls etc. Big rental landlords do not want to dispel that notion.

The problem with listing square footage is that if you tell the truth people think the apartments is too small because they're looking at so many units that are exaggerating their square footage. And what do you list? Just what's inside the apartments? If you did that then a rental unit which was the exact same size as a condo unit would end up getting listed with less square footage (because of the way condo square footage is calculated).
Although I do agree that it's frustrating to see some of these new projects where they don't list the square footage, they don't show a floor plan, and they use the same photos for every single unit so you have no idea of what the room sizes of the units you are looking at are.

30, I think the current listing standard for sq footage includes exterior walls. Anyone who is not including that is putting themselves at a disadvantage.

Just because the square footage is not listed does not necessarily mean it is a small(er) apartment. As a rental owner, you gain little by listing the square footage as 30 and 300 mentioned. Although it can provide clarity, it can also introduce false advertising claims and objections of accuracy. No management company is going to go door to door to photograph each unit. Two or three sets of model pictures are repeated throughout the layouts. Putting your rental landlord hat on, your objective is to provide just enough conversation to engage a prospective tenant to come see the building. It makes sense from a sales perspective because in-person meeting is better than a phone call and a phone call better than an email. At the same time, I can see how it can be frustrating as a prospective tenant.
