Landlords, famously always happy to fix life-threatening problems with their tenants’ houses. /s
So many burgerlanders are either landlords or temporarily embarrassed landlords.
every time it rains hard one of my friends’ apartments floods. Landlord occasionally sends someone out to “take a look” or slap some silicone on the outside of the building, and then the next time it rains the same shit happens. There’s carpet. It’s probably going to fucking poison my friend with mold and they know this but can’t break their lease and don’t want to move again. At least homeowners have a desire to fix things
Landlords?

Guess what you could afford if you weren’t paying your landlords mortgage plus premium? The fucking maintenance costs
I have never met a single person who doesn’t want to own a house because they’d have to maintain it and yet it’s the only excuse they can pull out!

I am so sorry to break it to you but this is actually a thing. I’ve met one person who proudly talks about selling their house in favor of renting because it’s stress free.
In my town there is this company that buys houses from people and then rents that house back to them. They run ads that say they will become your landlord and worry about all the maintenance. And its “great” because you don’t even have to move.
Its really depressing.
Owning a building (your house) is definitely a lot of extra work, and something that a lot of people just don’t want in their lives. Or maybe you just can’t keep up with cleaning and maitenance if you’re older or disabled. The frustrating thing is the way that gets turned into an argument against the affordability of housing, and as a way to dismiss complaints about exploitative relationship between landlords and renters.
Which is why all rentals properties should be nationalized
I love when landlords complain about all their costs. You’re not a landlord because you’re losing money, you’re a landlord because it’s easy profit. You call it “passive income” to friends, suddenly you’re a martyr to roofing companies when someone calls you on it.
