It’s not landlords faults that governments have insane restrictions on building houses. Why the hate towards them?
Why’s my rent gotta go up every year, in spite of no actual improvements to my home or the facilities? Why is there a convenience fee for paying my rent online?
They continue to take advantage of demand beyond what’s considered fair, whether the demand is due to govt policy or not. That’s why landlords get so much hate.
Why’s my rent gotta go up every year, in spite of no actual improvements to my home or the facilities?
Interest rates increasing, property taxes increasing, market rate going up, materials to provide improvements and maintenance increasing, inflation.
Not itemized, made clear to tenants, or asked for. Lack of transparency hurts all those valid points, and we’ve all, all, had bad landlords at some point.
Only quality legislation has protected me the few times I’ve had to tangle, anecdotally.
I agree zoning sucks but so does my landlord. He inherited 17 houses and has never worked, every time I ask for something to be fixed he hires someone else out to do it, at one point he was saving up all my checks so I had to switch to money orders, he tried hitting on my wife, and he talks to me like I am not his fucking customer who pays for his mother fucking stable.
So fuck him and everyone like him. Inherited everything while the rest of us have to work.
He inherited 17 houses and has never worked
Why is that relevant?
every time I ask for something to be fixed he hires someone else out to do it
So he sucks because he gets a professional to help fix problems you have? That’s what a landlord is supposed to do…
at one point he was saving up all my checks so I had to switch to money orders
You still paid rent with checks?
everyone like him
I agree, he sounds sleezy, but just because you have a bad landlord doesn’t make all landlords bad.
Inherited everything while the rest of us have to work.
See, this is somewhere you and I differ completely. You hate someone because they have something you don’t, I put 0 weight on it. Why should I hate someone for getting a gift from a relative or friend? Why should I hate someone because they’re blessed differently than I?
If you don’t see any issue with someone being a sleezy piece of shit who inherited more wealth than the average person makes in a lifetime I am not sure what to tell you. Except to remind you that: The corporate overloads are going to sell you down the river the moment you are no longer useful to them.
