Good. Fuck landlords. They're ghouls, every single one of them.
Every single one of then? Even my landlord who has never raised my rent, drove me to and from the hospital when I had emergencies, and has regularly offered to help out in other ways too?
I get that many landlords are not saints, but being a landlord doesn't automatically make someone a bad person.
Yeah, one of my landlords was a gem.
Kept the rent low, let us have pets, did the maintenance quickly and in person (he was a tradesman), let us do whatever to the place as long as we didn't ruin it, and was genuinely a decent guy. He gave us glowing references for our future home too.
I felt sad moving out of that home, it was an absolute steal in the middle of a very expensive city. The guy just wanted to rent out his old place to some nice folks.
People think that all landlords are toxic because the good ones typically have stable long term tenants and thus never put their suites on the market.
All rental property managers are assholes though. Using the money from renters who can't afford to buy a house and using it to take more homes off of the market by definition makes you a parasite.
yup
You’re kinda silly.
