What do they want at this point? Is it blood? Is it my soul? Are we just expected to start paying these people just for existing?
You have the cushiest arrangement ever. You own the house forever and all you have to do is take care of it while someone else pays you to live in it. How could you want more than that?
The new customer service protocols seem to be “Gimme your money, here’s your thing, now get out. What? You want the thing to work, too? We got your money, you got your thing, now get the fuck out of here, until you need another one, then come back and see me.”
This landlord took the guy’s money and gave him a lease, now the guy expects to actually LIVE there, too?
I’m currently going through this with Apple, whom I thought would care more about their reputation and repeat custom. I guess they don’t. Fuck you, Apple. Fix the faulty overpriced shit I paid for.
Well maybe if the entire property wasn’t done up with the landlord special of tippex on walls and the world’s cheapest laminate floors they’d be able to hold up to the rigours of minor usage.
If my landlord did this I would legit buy termites and pour them throughout the property
You can buy termites?
Sure can, https://www.carolina.com/termites/termites-soldiers-living-pack-of-12/143730.pr Fast growing bamboo is a fun one as well.
I’m a landlord and I don’t care, the house is meant to be used. I’m not using it and your paying me to use it so have at it, it’s my job to save enough of your rent to fix stuff as it fails
Thank you for your service
Yeah, my tenants have got a dog and we keep the white goods in working order for them. I don’t need them to pay off my mortgage, just want to treat them with the respect I’d want my landlord to treat me with.
Exactly, I got a 3% rate, no hurry in paying off mortgage plus it will probably be my retirement home some day
Do landlords not understand that pulling this shit is why tenants poor grease down the sink😭
Pulling this shit is how you get bad tenants
There are no “bad tenants”, because that would imply inconveniencing landlords and costing them money is morally wrong. It’s not, it’s funny as hell😭
100% they’re bad tenants. They’re also people who never want to own, they’re people that will never be able to afford to own. There will always be a need for land lords
Bad tenants and people who want to rent exist, but the rest I don’t agree with
Well… No? You’re assuming a system where you have to pay for housing.
Which is essentially every where, that’s life.
Sure, under our current system. But you said there will always be a need for landlords, which I take issue with. But housing doesn’t have to operate the way it does now. There’s a variety of ways to pay for people to have housing under a money-based system, like through taxes. The soviet union had housing cooperatives. Hell, you don’t even need to go that far, housing prices are currently so high because we allow massive real estate corporations to buy up property to artificially inflate price. Government regulation on real estate as an industry would serve to lower housing prices. At the very least, make it so they can’t just sit on vacant homes.
But that’s IF the government would build said housing. Or it takes it away from owners which is fucked. I’m all for government owned housing if they will build it and maintain it. It could lower housing prices and rents, your right if they build enough of them where needed
Only within a relatively recent stretch of history, before that you only needed to pay for fancy stuff (think pyramids or castles or whatnot)
Pay with money? No. But with blood when someone else decides they would like your home.
You can say that about a lot of things, matter of fact now, you have to pay for housing, there is no fantasy land where you don’t and won’t in our life time
I don’t want you to wear out my two-dollar light switch!! Waaah
But also:
Rent this month is $2,200, and you’d better not be late, or you’re a dead motherfucker.
or you’re a dead motherfucker.
Come on people. Don’t be so hard on the landlord. If you don’t leave for work, when is he supposed to go through your underwear drawer?
Hire gnomes, I don’t know
Sooo, no retirees, stay-at-home moms, lottery winners, self-employed, etc.?
they’re trying everything they can to greed the fuck out of people
Saw a video where a couple who rent their home as an AirBNB were bitching that their tennants used the beds. In the very next scene, they bitched that the guests didn’t eat the snacks in the kitchen.
Gotta be ragebait.
I sympathise with having “nightmare tenants” who trash the place, but fuck any Landlord who says you can’t work from home because god forbid you use your home that you pay them for because you’d cause a bit more wear and tear than they would like.
fuck any Landlord
who says you can’t work from home because god forbid you use your home that you pay them for because you’d cause a bit more wear and tear than they would like.Landlordism is in itself unethical. If you’re not using a home it belongs to the person who is making use of it. You shouldn’t have rights to leech wealth from them in perpetuity.
Lmao I literally spent $2 and 10 minutes replacing an outlet on my rental the other day to avoid having to deal with my landlord
I did that when I rented but I kept a big box full of the old shit and I would put it back before I moved.
Don’t give those fuckers anything.
Probably for the best, electricians in my city are all busy and take forever to get around to a job like that
I do the same. Basic plumbing and repairs
Fuck landlords
Yes because rent is supposed to cover my investment costs as well as provide passive income. What do you mean my investment is bound to the property? This is only true when I sell it and cash out once again.
