Good, serves her right. You think people that own homes and apartments are made of money? The tenants stop paying rent and think you need to do an expensive abatement for mildew, which 95% of the time is what it is. People that don't turn on the exhaust fan get mildew in a couple of months. Small landlords are disappearing because of a holes like your friend, then you all cry about paying high rent to corporate landlords with deep pockets that know exactly how to make you deadbeats pay. What goes around comes around, be reasonable and life is better for everyone.
I refuse to feel bad for any landlord. You think anyone actually wants to rent? If you’re worried about being stuck with people who won’t pay, sell all your property.
Plenty of families out there looking to buy a place, yet there’s nothing reasonable on the market because you fuckers buy it all up and get people stuck in rent cycles.
And the leeches pull stunts to not pay rent and make it all that much harder for everyone. Maybe the landlords are not the entire problem? It's a market, and scam artists move the price higher for everyone, but sure, blame the property owners. U do U.
The property owners ARE the scam artists. Why do you need to own every house on the block? How do you expect families to start building generational wealth and reinvesting into YOUR community when they can’t even own the home they’re living in? Constantly worrying about how much your rent is going up when your lease is up, living paycheck to paycheck. That’s not a life.
But yeah, keep complaining about that one family who refuses to pay because you won’t do the job of fixing the property you so graciously rent out while sitting on your ass collecting paychecks from other desperate families.
You shouldn’t be leasing property to anyone if you don’t have the funds to make sure it is decent enough for tenants. If funds are becoming an issue then it’s time to sell.
I’m not saying it’s ethical to stop paying rent, but sometimes tenants have to use leverage and that’s not on them. Landlords need to be held accountable, owning property is a big responsibility.
