[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is genius if legal. I'm just upset I had never thought of this. If you've never been a small landlord that's not local than you have no idea the frustration with getting a call from a renter about a plug going out just to fork over hundreds of dollars to an electrician to find out that the gfci tripped because of... If the landlord is a decent person than this is 100% to get the buy in from the renter to not abuse the situation and to use some common sense not a money grab.[/quote]

This is not genius. It's shitty. If you don't want to be a landlord, then don't be one. [/quote]

Yes. And the landlords complaining about tenants being home more thanks to WFH: You're not renting a room in a hostel. People are allowed to be in their homes, even if they do shocking things like open the refrigerator and turn on lights while they're there. [/quote]

This. A large percent of landlords have no business being landlords.

Look in Covid in my home my family started breaking everything. I went from my wife and me at work all day and two kids away at college and one at HS to 5 of us home 24/7 overnight. Faucets, dishwasher, toilets, fridge all at huge wear and tear.

Same thing happened to landlords. I did a new washer/dryer, fridge, oven and HVAC service between spring 2020 and 2022 in my rental unit. My tenant even texted when oven broke how she is now cooking for 4 3x a day 7 days a week. Vs. basically making dinner only 6x a week when all working.

So I of course things wear out quicker. Yes I replaced. But at same time it is a business and between all those repairs and freezing rent increase 20/21 landlords are jacking up rents big in 2022. [/quote]

This is such over the top crap. You keep complaining about having to maintain a rental property. That's what you're supposed to do as a landlord. [/quote]

Is that a law? It's a custom, renters should have more responsibility in life, it would also make them more contributing to society instead of being lazy bums[/quote]
