Selflessness?
Correct
Do NOT be kind to your landlord.
My landlord lost their house gambling so I offered them to rent one of my rooms at discount as a roommate.
Now whenever my rent increases due to cost of living, I increase their rent due to cost of living.
We are in a sick perpetual cycle and both our rents went up 5000% yesterday. We are comrades in this pain and promised to protect each other if liver selling operation goes wrong.
It’s a hateful bond, an adversarial friendship, and a dying survival. Somebody please help!
I think that means you raised the GDP of your block by 500x. You two make a pretty good team! You should both get some kind of medal for driving such economic growth.
Edit: hang on a second, is your landlord Larry Ellison?
Now that I think about it, if a circle exists somewhere where A rents to B, B rents to C, and C to A (make it as long as needed, of course), one increasing the rent leads to a perpetual rent increase until one of them collapses? Would be funny to see tbh.
Well, imagine this, but A is also loaning the money to C to keep the circle going, and you’ve got the state of the “AI” market.
And people are yet still convinced “it’s not a bubble”.
Lol spot on! This is exactly how the current economy is working 🙈
Have you tried getting a second landlord roomate?
5000%?
Daaamn this is really a shitpost indeed
Thank you
Being selfless is a burden?
Only when you’re selfish.
Come to think of it, if being selfless is a burden to you then you aren’t really selfless.
I guess they don’t see the sacrifices people make for their rent money
My first landlord gave me a plank to hold the door shut so he didn’t have to repair the lock and another plank to put over the hole in the bathroom floor that you could fall through to the foundations.
‘Safe’ living.
Sounds like a resourceful person
i genuinely hope that you’re just really good at the bit, my dude
I am
That image just measurably raised my blood pressure.
This is shitposts, not shit takes.
Thank you
Safe living? HA
Landlords should really rebrand to something like building consurvitours.
“Land owners”
No more or less is needed.
Conservators
is stupid and wrong.
My old landlord was a Vietnamese family who built an apartment complex for a family business instead of running a restaurant. I respected them, they kept the place in running order.
I feel like “landlord” is an easy group to hate, but some renters are absolutely filthy gross and I have seen what landlords sometimes deal with. No room for nuance here, of course, but how you do things matters a lot.
Fuck the leeches.

How much would you expect back if you gave someone a loan for $500,000.00 after 3 years, 5years, 10years?
Calculations:
After 3 years: 500,000×(1+0.0430⋅3)=500,000×1.129=564,500.
After 5 years: 500,000×(1+0.0438⋅5)=500,000×1.219=609,500.
After 10 years: 500,000×(1+0.0468⋅10)=500,000×1.468=734,000.Ok so 64,500/3/12=$1792.00 would be your fair monthly rent since the landlord would put that money away and expect a return for that investment.
For 5 years it would be $3,042.
For 10 years it would be $6500. Clearly a better investment.
Except that when they get your rent they can put that money into the investment system again and get much more money overtime.
First month say 1000 (super cheap tent on a cardboard box behind a Wendy’s).
Second month 2040 assuming 4% per month.
$41,000 after 3 years, $67,000 after 5 years, 170,000 after 10 years at 4.3% APR.
If the rent was 3000, that would be $510,000 after 10 years. This is not a good investment if you paid $900,000 for that house. You want the return in 5 years so the rent would be $5708.00 per month.
And that right there is why our rent is so expensive. We are basically ensuring the profit of a nice steady percentage to some investor. Now, if you didn’t ever invest in the house, your house would eventually become land. So you do want to pay to keep that thing looking good, but maybe not 4.3% per month?
our rent… you mean your rent
Somebody must help these poor landlord asshole billionaire wannabes. Am I right?
Exactly
What in the world are you talking about? The rent only paying for the interest? You know buildings are not eternal, right? They depreciate in value. They have maintenance costs. And a hundred other things a good landlord should be taking care of.
This is panda level… No, sun… No, koala! Bear minimum. Yeah, you start thinking about maintenance, depreciation, dog damage, robot attacks, invasion by aliens, heck… A pandemic! Now we’re talking serious money. Lol… Not lol.

New fridges are a joke anyway. Mine broke after 5 years. I have a garage fridge better then my new one
If that fridge is still happily running then be happy, they literally don’t make them like that anymore.

Good news, they do still make them like that!
It’s low on refrigerant and effectively unfixable. Depending on where you’re at you can probably withhold rent by putting it in an escrow account until the landlord fixes the problems. You have to tell them by certified mail, and if appliances aren’t included in your rent agreement don’t do it because you’re already screwed. In that case get your own fridge and keep the receipt.

This state is arguably the most pro landlord state
Arkansas would like a word with you …

It’s probably also super inefficient and uses Freon
Freon is a brand name not a refrigerant. You mean R12 which was banned in new equipment 32 years ago. It’s probably R22.
Isn’t freon one of the more efficient refrigerants we have? The environmental concerns aren’t a problem until it goes into a landfill.

That’s good
Have you sincerely and cheerfully wished your multibillion dollar corporation landlord a happy and prosperous birthday, and have you gratefully and bravely remitted no less than three (3) months of your (useless to you) money?
No?
You’re what’s wrong with society.

Imagine not tipping your landlord.
This generation man…
I didn’t know until now that there is a debate about tipping your landlord. For me this sounds unbelievable. It’s like tipping your politicians and policemen. Or in another way like tipping your mum.
like tipping your mum.
Widely believed to be impossible
So selfish and entitled
That’s why none kf these kids are getting any houses. They really called this upon themselves
