I’m a landlord and I don’t care, the house is meant to be used. I’m not using it and your paying me to use it so have at it, it’s my job to save enough of your rent to fix stuff as it fails

Do landlords not understand that pulling this shit is why tenants poor grease down the sink😭
Pulling this shit is how you get bad tenants
There are no "bad tenants", because that would imply inconveniencing landlords and costing them money is morally wrong. It's not, it's funny as hell😭
100% they’re bad tenants. They’re also people who never want to own, they’re people that will never be able to afford to own. There will always be a need for land lords
I don't want you to wear out my two-dollar light switch!! Waaah
But also:
Rent this month is $2,200, and you'd better not be late, or you're a dead motherfucker.
Come on people. Don't be so hard on the landlord. If you don't leave for work, when is he supposed to go through your underwear drawer?
Sooo, no retirees, stay-at-home moms, lottery winners, self-employed, etc.?
Saw a video where a couple who rent their home as an AirBNB were bitching that their tennants used the beds. In the very next scene, they bitched that the guests didn't eat the snacks in the kitchen.
Fuck landlords
Yes because rent is supposed to cover my investment costs as well as provide passive income. What do you mean my investment is bound to the property? This is only true when I sell it and cash out once again.
Landlord 101
Lmao I literally spent $2 and 10 minutes replacing an outlet on my rental the other day to avoid having to deal with my landlord
Probably for the best, electricians in my city are all busy and take forever to get around to a job like that
Bold to out yourself as a landlord
And no teachers unless they teach summer school too
What the actual flying fuckmonkeyshit piss brain kind of assholery is this????
This is why I treat it like a rental. When I was renting my deposit was 10 days of rent and I didn't expect to get it back because I knew from someone else leaving that the landlord was a wanker.
I started homebrewing when I lived there, had a batch explode and splatter honey water all across the room. I quickly learnt to avoid the patches of carpet that were sticky. Knowing that the landlord wouldn't repay the deposit without me taking him to court anyway, I didn't bother cleaning it up.
I've been in the same place for over a decade, the deposit I'd like back but the place is kinda infamous for nickle and dime issues to keep as much as possible. Also the new management company have been sticklers for keeping things "clean" without saying what the standard is. I wipe up when I make a mess, sweep and mop when it's worth my time. Still, they made a stink that I wasn't perfect. So now I pour oil down the kitchen sink.
That's illegal in my country.
The only power a landlord has here is when people break stuff on purpose, cause actual disturbance or do not pay. Stuff like race, dogs, job and all that type discrimination is not allowed.
Must be nice in your country :)
While pet ownership and any sort of discrimination is not allowed in Norway, renters here view in envy at our neighbours regulated renting markets, especially the lowlanders in Denmark. But what hurts the progression here the most right now, is that up to 80 % of adults own their homes, so regulating for the lower 20 % will never be a priority, since that might hurt most people.
"I'm too rich to afford providing your wealth grade a home, so I'd appreciate if we could grow more apart economically 😊"
The term landlord dates back to feudalism. This is insanity.
Gotta be ragebait.
I sympathise with having "nightmare tenants" who trash the place, but fuck any Landlord who says you can't work from home because god forbid you use your home that you pay them for because you'd cause a bit more wear and tear than they would like.
Ok, but can I still flip the switch on and off rapidly pretending its a lightning storm.
It's that dog meme which I'm too lazy to even search for because I'm busy working to pay the rent: No Living! Just Rent!
Here you go
No take. Only throw.
They cannot enforce no working from home. God damn those parasites are so fucking out of touch
"Where you work" is not a protected characteristic in the US. Plenty of places where a landlord could throw this clause into the lease, and if they can prove you violated it, they can start eviction proceedings.
It would be very difficult to prove, and the ensuing legal battle may cost more than the "additional maintenance" that may be required, but in theory these bastards can do pretty much whatever they want.
I know, the where you work isn't protected, but bring a rental has the implicit use of being a domicile, with all the freedoms associated with it

Holy shit. I hope the top post is just satire.
Edit: lmao, jury still out on this one
I've seen some insane restrictions on what you can and can't do in apartments.
Like in my apartment I'm only allowed to put an AC in 1 window of my apartment (the furthest from the bedrooms BTW), it can't be anything other than a portable AC, and any gap around the hose needs to be clear (glass, polycarbonate, acrylic, etc.) yes even the window insert that comes with the AC has to be clear. When I moved in I thought the insert around the hose that came with it not being clear would be fine, it in fact was not. It also has power draw restrictions so I can only basically get the smallest kinds on the market.
I'm also required to have all windows and doors closed and locked when nobody is at home. Yes that means I have to pull my AC hose out of my window when I'm not home. I figured that out again the first year I lived in my apartment. (they rang my bell when I wasn't home, then sent me a certified letter informing me I had 72 hours to fix the problem or they would serve me notice to vacate.)
Yes every summer it easily clears 90F (32C) inside and sometimes even breaks 100F (37C). And due to being an upstairs apartment that means the heat stays almost in it's entirety overnight.
IANAL and I know not everyone can afford one to fight bs like this, but none of that sounds legally enforceable.
"Use the floor" makes it feel unserious imo, but could go either way
The top probably is. But the bottom is probably true.
Its most likely not.
It obviously is.
DEFINITELY maybe.

Sounds like you shouldn’t be fucking landlording, then, because if I pay rent, I can do literally whatever the fuck I want that’s non-destructive and doesn’t disturb my neighbors.
What a consummate tool, holy fuck.
What if I'm retired and don't work at all? What if I work but I have a kid who stays home all day? What if I care for someone who's bedridden, but I also have a job, and I hire a nurse to be here while I'm away. What if I hire a maid to work the whole time I'm away at work? What if I invite five friends over after work every night? What if I'm obese, are you gonna cry about me wearing out the floor twice as fast because I weigh as much as two people? What's your policy on pacing, am I limited to a certain number of laps per day? If I'm clinically underweight, can I get an exception since I don't wear out floors as quickly?
What if I'm in a wheelchair, do I get a discount for not wearing out the floor as much? What if I work two jobs and am thus home only half the time, what about then?
