Can’t believe tipping landlords was considered even as a meme lol
Forgive them, for they know not what they do

Actually, it was invented by the British in 1643.

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.

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
gnutrino@programming.dev 2 months ago
Landserf would be a more accurate term.

tipping? do Americans tip their fucking landlords too?
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 months ago
…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
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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?
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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.

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

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

I don’t rent currently, but if I do end up renting out a room, I got the inadequate pay for the house by first delivering pizzas and then manufacturing shit.

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?
Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 months ago
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
Sea_pop@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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.

Son of a landlord, we set our rent lower than market price and generally get university students
Tenants can be anything, some just pick to rent because it’s just a temporary place to stay and we don’t have as bad a problem as America does
Our worst renter was a business owner that did not pay rent for their business location for 4 months before disappearing
My father never evicted anyone, though A university student we once had was paying 77% less than the market before leaving after his study ended (3000 Vs 13000)
