I was this way. I don't go crazy with rent, but I've been taking advantage of by EVERY SINGLE TENANT I've ever had. They couldn't pay one month? That's fine. I understand things are hard, just get back to me later the next month. They haven't paid after 3 months? Here's a rental assistance program, I'll help you apply to whatever you need. Okay. You haven't paid or tried to pay in 6 months now, nor have you returned by phone calls, I'm going to have to send you a notice of default and evict you. Okay. Now I'm a scumlord, I guess. And now they clogged all the pipes. Broken every dry wall panel and window, poured antifreeze into my well, and caused significant water damage throughout the house because I'm the bad guy. Cool.
Another tenant turned the house into a drug den. Another became addicted to opiates after a back injury and lost his job, and stopped paying rent because he needed it for more drugs.
Like. I get it, no one likes landlords, but my God. Everyone thinks they are entitled to treat your home however they want, and then are shocked when your upset that they don't uphold their end of the bargain or take care of the house.
Long story short, people on both sides suck.
Your story has reminded me of why I'm lollygagging so badly on renovating my house (it's been almost two years now and really should have just taken a few months). I don't really need the rental money and I'm terrified of having to deal with shitty tenants.
Good, don't hoarded resources and steal from others and you won't suffer the deserved consequences, leech
You're nothing but a small-minded bigot. You know nothing of my situation, but have already justified it in your head that I'm a bad guy.
You sure put a lot of words to justify being a landlord, which is hte only part that matters, leech, and even you know it
I don't have to justify shit to you. I'm sorry you've disillusioned yourself that somehow I'm the enemy because of your inability to buy a house.
Your hatred and ignorance makes you no better than any other prejudiced hate group. You know nothing about me, but you think it's okay for people hurt me and my well-being because you already determined I'm some sort of "enemy". Hell, it's how most monsters morally justify committing heinous and even monsterous acts against others that they perceived different to them...or against them.
Get help dude. Not sure where you fucked up in life that you think your behavior is acceptable, but seriously mate, you should see someone about it. It's not healthy.
I think people renting to a handful of people are doing a service for those who need temporary housing.
I also think anyone who rents to more than 30 tenants should be forced to sell some of their properties.
Idk where you fall on that scale.
I have one house lol. And we kept it because I want to pass it on to family. These guys are just trolls.
Clearly you think you do, given your paragraphs of unread whinging, you leech. Try to pass your guilt of being a shitty leech in society to me all you want, being a "bigot" isn't possible against leeches like you
Keep being salty. I'm sorry mate, your inability to get ahead isn't my problem, but maybe it's just easier to convince yourself that your just a victim instead of being an unsuccessful bigoted little troll. This is a 'you' problem. I have zero guilt. Literally zero about owning property. If you need to call me a leech to make yourself feel better about being a complete fuck up, have at it. Hope it helps you feel better about yourself.
It doesn't exist at all, making assumptions to look stupid again bruh
Liaaarrrrrr lol
Whatever you have to tell yourself mate. Trolls gonna troll I guess.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep calling you a shitty leech if you keep trynna defend your pathetic ass, it's pretty simple
Lmao get a load of "people calling landlords leeches so they must be bigots" McGee over here.
Landlords will be the first to go. Scum.
