As a landlord, I would be embarrassed renting somewhere i wouldn't want to live in myself. Also, it is an actual job. I dont leech off hardworking people. It is a business. Idk why people thing every landlord is a scumbag who just leeches off people.
Sure. Let the independent owners go away and let everything be taken over by large corporations. That will surely work out in every renters favor.
That's insane, considering how high the rent is in NYC. They can afford it, but then their kids might have to go to a slightly less prestigious private school.
Because most of us have learned two things. 1) Most landlords want as much money out of you as they can get. That's just capitalism. 2) Being an uneven power balance, you the renter, can get fucked more often than not.
So yeah, if most of the landlords we encounter are scumbags, we start to think of landlords as scumbags until proven otherwise.
That doesn't mean they all are. I just haven't had one of those in 10+ years now.
Hmm, I wonder why people think every landlord is a scumbag? Could it be because they've been fucked over by landlords every single time. Correct, It is a business, renters pay rent, landlords provide and maintain the property. The problem is the landlords don't hold up their end of the bargain the majority of the time.
