  Tipping your landlord is essential for a good relationship. Not tipping them is basically wage theft.

  I’ve heard of cow tipping. Is landlord tipping the same sort of thing?

    Cow tipping is a myth, and is impossible to do even with a few people.

      But what about landlord tipping?

        Idk, it sounds plausible.

  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.

      Most people can’t do that without leaving the community they have roots in

      Because I don’t qualify for a mortgage for double the fair market rate. That’s why they’re willing to pay so much for the properties. It keeps us from buying them.

      Because banks for some reason think that people can’t afford to pay a mortgage that’s less than their current rent.

    It’s totally different where I live (in the San Francisco Bay Area)… Renting is cheaper than buying here. A lot of the landlords bought their property a long time ago when it was cheaper.

  It was a 4chan meme to “trigger the lefties”, but turned into a shitpost.

  No we don’t, but they wish we would.

  Some landlords that are complete assholes ask, but I doubt you’ll actually see anybody actually do it.
