The Onion

I think all landlords get demonized lately as a meme unfairly. Lots of times property taxes get jacked up, hoa fees, etc. So there is rationale to raise the fees.

But I had this exact phrasing happen to me before I bought my house. "Were raising costs to keep up with market rate." I think its a mistake to do that to reliable, clean, respectful tenants if you dont have to.

But I could see someone doing that to a tenant who leaves trash, doesnt pickup after their dog, or plays loud music.

But landlords that treat it like a business and not just what is necessary are a joke for sure. But most of the hate I see landlords get are blanket and not fair.

Another thing I'll say is corporations owning property only makes this worse. Half the townhouses in my community are owned by corporations and they always get shitty tenants who let their kids trash the place.

We have had incidents where kids pull out bricks from a garden wall and now its going to cost the homeowners 3,000 dollars.

I really think sometimes consideration and neighborly respect is dead. I fucking hate it.

Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Both landlords and renters can be trash.
