Why are the prices of New York apartments divided into pre-discount (Gross) and post-discount (Net)?

Apartments in New York are famous for their high rents, but apartments will also provide corresponding preferential policies according to market conditions, which are generally rent-free discounts. For example, the rent of apartment A is $3000/month, but the apartment offers a discount of 1 month for 12 months. This means you don&#x27;t have to pay rent for one month out of 12. In this case, we call $3000 the Gross price, and the discounted amount of $3000*11/12=$2750 the Net price. When listing the price, apartments often advertise the discounted Net price, but the rent is generally paid by gross. Regardless of the gross or net algorithm, the total rent is $33000. ($3000*11 = $2750*12)
