No tips, but our complex likes to offer like $100 off rent if you refer a friend to live there. Its kinda annoying when you get a pretty red and green christmasy flyer with "a gift for you!" On the top, then goes on to explain "we'll give you a pittance if you do our advertising for us"
Maybe just fix our dryer instead you fuckin dumbshits. I'd not recommend this complex to my worst enemy at this point.
What in the everliving fuck
Every landlord is a slumlord confirmed
I agree that would drive me bonkers. I’d expect at least a 20% commission on the first month’s rent plus deposit. If they are an apartment complex looking to fill long term rentals than this is just the cost of doing business.
I’d bet there are at least as many landlords that ask for tips as there are people who give out drugs to kids at Halloween or kids doing the Tide Pod challenge.
I’m feeling this set of analogies
They don't need to ask for tips when they slide in convenience fees into your billing, like mine does. So not only has my rent jumped $20 up, but it's also an additional $5 BECAUSE of the stupid fucking fees. Fuck landlords.
Many jurisdictions will laws the require a form of payment that doesn’t come with fees. I think mine requires the landlord to be able to accept cash or check without fees. If the lease says you can only pay online, and the only way to pay online requires those fees, that would be illegal in my area.
Should be the law everywhere. Of course, I also believe there should be a rent cap in every city, ideally $1-2 per square foot.
This platform just doesn’t do satire, does it?
satire becomes reality later with a lot of things.
I mean…Some governments are literally doing some of the shit that fictional dystopias did in stories from 40 years ago.
It’s hard
You can’t prove a negative. If you can’t find an example of a l*ndlord (🤮) asking for a tip, you haven’t proven that landlords don’t ask for tips, only that you suck at finding examples of it.
In some ways you are right, but there are many methods to prove a negative within a threshold of certainty. Here’s a good read. factmyth.com/factoids/you-cant-prove-a-negative/
Always tip 75% of your income to your landlord and edge for 4 hours a day.
Damn rentoids were probably going to spend it on Funko pops anyways /s
Wikipe-tan is my favorite piece of wiki lore
There are good ones but there should be at least transparency to see how your money is spent. More than half should go back into repairs and communal services like trash pickup and landscaping.

There’s at least this guy. Check the rest of the videos, this probably wasn’t a joke.

Jokes on him. Why the fuck would I tip a server 25 fucking percent. Nor am I tipping someone to pour me a coffee while getting paid a normal fucking wage. And in definitely not tipping someone who shows up days later to solve my problems and already robs me of a huge chunk of my salary.
Tipping in this country is fucking out of control.
