I've heard of cow tipping. Is landlord tipping the same sort of thing?
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!
No we don't, but they wish we would.
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.
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!
Hole's not big enough. (If I had a nickel.)
Then I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that I found them in my butthole.
That's what she said
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.
Korea has an interesting system. You pay a single (very large) deposit when you move in, and you get the entire deposit back when you move out. The landlord keeps only the interest on the deposit.
In Berlin they now expect a blowie on top.
Hey, at least key fee rhymes
Actually, it was invented by the British in 1643.
Tipping landlords?
No, memes.
Blimy
Lmfao.
My landlord's hardwork: Calling the service repair guy. Making sure the property management company pays him my rent. Paying for a new AC he cheaped out on decades ago.
He has multiple properties. I don't know if it's possible to use each one at the same time, if so that's a wild power, and I would totally not rent them out.
And if the pay is inadequate maybe he should get a job lol
Sounds like your landlord is underpaid tbh
If they're landlords, the correct term for a tenant is landslave
Landserf would be a more accurate term.
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.
not a landlord, I hate landlords, but I do have room mates and this shit sucks. none of them seem to have any understanding that if food.is kept in the fridge too long it will mold, or that putting a bowl in the dishwasher facing the door won't clean it. its like living with a bunch of 10 year olds figuring out how to do chores for the first time
I fucking hated having roommates. Our house had two kitchens and you'd think that would solve a lot of the issues... Nope. Cat litter box. Garage. Shared backyard. Everything that could be mistreated, or used improperly, was.
Needs many, many more rocks.
Preferably on top of him
Hate speech against a minority
if it was good enough for jesus, it's good enough for me
