According to IOL, a Cape Town man recently revealed that he makes R90,000 for renting out his apartment in Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard.

The man, Niel*, told IOL that he approached an estate agent to help with the short-term let, who informed him that he can ask up to R3,500 a day for his apartment. 

“Within a week I had someone contact me about renting it for the four weeks I was away. We negotiated the price and rounded the sum down to R90,000,” he said.
