  The title of this community is “No Stupid Questions,” but you know what? It turns out there actually are stupid questions.

    Do you think 15 percent is appropriate?

    • UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Only if you want to signal that they’re doing a bad job. 25% seems much more reasonable if they’re doing a standard job as a landlord by doing things like collecting your rent money on time.

  You should not be tipping your landlord.

  If they are personaly providing any other services to you, such as maintenance, you need to get those clearly itemized and paid separately from rent.

  I like to zero out my bank accounts each year so I tip my landlord whatever the total combined balance is.

  I tip him 40% of my annual gross salary twice a month, then let him fuck me in the arse whenever he feels the urge because that’s just part of the contract. So grateful to my landlord for providing a roof over my head. I would give him more if I could but my math up there just isn’t mathing so I think I’m already overextended.

  “Landlords’ right has its origin in robbery. The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth.”

    While this is the most accurate description of a landlord, I believe OP was joking.

  It depends. A few years ago I could get by with just 15%, but with the cost of living so high, I’d feel bad if I didn’t give at least 20% minimum. Sometimes when I’ve just been paid, I’ll do 100% just to help out.

  I think my landlord has a crush on me guys

    Negative, landlords can’t feel feelings

      Landlordphobia, uncensored and on full display. And I thought Lemmy was supposed to be the progressive community. 🙄

  I tip my landlord the same amount I tip my building contractor, my hotel manager, the stock boy at the grocery store, the guy who services the vending machines, all my local care salesmen, my insurance broker, my financial adviser, my stock broker, City Engineering workers, my librarian, toll booth operators, the police, firemen, paramedics, my doctor, my dentist, all the local medical specialists, and all long haul truck drivers, train engineers, the people who make the clothing I buy, the people who grow the food I eat, and that guy who hangs around throwing rocks at security cameras.

  Of course, with so many people to tip, I generally divide the tip equally between all of them, out of what’s left in my chequing account at the end of the month, after I’ve paid off everything else and made some charitable donations.

  Interestingly, I also usually tip everyone else in the world the same amount too, since I don’t eat out, stay in hotels or take taxis anywhere.

  Well, I’m my own landlord, so I tip myself all the money that I have left over after the month. So… 0 €.

  when I was in apartments, I didn’t?

  why would you tip somebody you pay monthly rent to?

  • rab@lemmy.ca ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well landlords work very hard and should be tipped accordingly

      Right, that’s literally what rent is for.
