Can’t believe tipping landlords was considered even as a meme lol
Sounds overltly American tbh
Worst landlord laws I’ve ever seen was in Japan. You have to pay them a welcome fee and a key fee on top of your bond and rent when you sign a lease.
Hey, at least key fee rhymes
Well it always baffled me, you just sign a lease, put a deposit down and pay the guy a welcome fee and then you don’t get a key until you pay more?
Fucking wild.
If they’re landlords, the correct term for a tenant is landslave
tipping? do Americans tip their fucking landlords too?
I’ve heard of cow tipping. Is landlord tipping the same sort of thing?
Tipping your landlord is essential for a good relationship. Not tipping them is basically wage theft.
how do I report this
Press the crosspost button to repost! And tip your landlord.
No we don’t, but they wish we would.
Yeah. By paying the mortgage plus 30% on the property they bought at double a fair market rate just to keep me from buying it for myself.
I love paying double in rent what I would pay for a market-rate mortgage and getting no equity in return.
Thanks landlords!
If it’s that simple, why don’t you just buy somewhere?
It was for me, so I did. Went from paying £375/m rent to £200/m mortgage.
Some landlords that are complete assholes ask, but I doubt you’ll actually see anybody actually do it.
…do other countries seriously lack that much respect that they don’t even tip their landlords? my god what a shithole the rest of the world is
It was a 4chan meme to “trigger the lefties”, but turned into a shitpost.
consider me triggered
The “inadequate pay” one got me rolling. 😂
Inadequate pay for what exactly? Owning some land and squeezing money from the people who actually take care of it? Fuck landlords!
For all the services they provide us
Thank you, I needed a good laugh today. 😂
I’m glad I could help, upvotes on the left. Or wherever they are. That’s my obligatory tip!
It probably doesn’t apply to many people posting here or in general, but if you became a landlord how did your view of tenants change?
I’ve had to rent out rooms and the basement of my home as a “landlord” and I lowered the rent on people in stead of raising it because they were giving me enough to cover part of my mortgage. It still felt shitty and exploitative to do. Especially if something broke and they had to wait to say, use the toilet.
I’d never want to do that again if possible. Also my “tenants” were not people or friends I knew beforehand. I just tried not to be a piece of shit about it.
When I see “real estate experts” gouging people to buy more real estate and bragging on social media about it - I do think they are, in fact, fucking parasites on people that do actually contribute to society. It doesn’t have to be this way. Housing should not be a commodity.
My wife and I own three homes, each purchased below our means so we could invest time and money into renovations while living in them. One is currently rented, and we’re working on the second, with plans to have it rented by next summer.
Balancing full-time jobs with these projects demands a lot of our time and resources, but I take pride in the work we put into each home. I treat my rental properties with the same care and quality as my own home—because they were my homes.
I also expect my tenants to treat the house with the same respect I do.
if it was good enough for jesus, it’s good enough for me
