god, that must be so traumatizing for that landlord. landlords have it so hard these days πŸ₯Ί

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Yeah! Do you know some people don't even tip anymore? Like what happened to the common decency in America?

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I already had to go to therapy after reading this post. No problem, I'll just increase the rent to compensate

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 61 points 10 months ago (1 children)

One must bring the water to a boil slowly. Now how are you going to have your mortgage paid for? Looks like youll need to delay your Vail ski trip or, heaven forbid, combine it with your Aspen trip

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Goodness, I can't imagine only ONE vacation per year! Buy a single family home and rent it at twice the cost of the mortgage to make ends meet. It's hard work not doing anything all year!

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 61 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I bet she didn't even tip.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

She only tipped the chair. Typical.

[–] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 56 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps this single mother should've tried just getting a better job, or just simply work a second hell why not even a third. Sounds like lazyness to me.

[–] TheMagicalTimonini@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Single moms these days need to start pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. What I would do if my rent was tripled, is just reduce my avocado toast intake by 30% and go on a nice vacation with all the additional money I saved up.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully she didn't damage the ceiling fan with the rope.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I hope she didn't drip all over the carpet!

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sad! She couldn't stop buying avocados and Starbucks I guess. Well at least now that's she's gone you can charge double to the next tenant.

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

buying avocados will kill you

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Single Mother

One Corpse....

Sounds like you just got yourself at least one free child laborer

[–] coaxil@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Selling off the organs seems like it would be less annoying then dealing with a child longer term.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Should sue her estate for loss of income and emotional trauma.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

"Your honor, she never tipped me even once!"

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 16 points 10 months ago

If you can't afford bread, just eat the rich

This man is definitely not Jesus

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

He is written to be Republican Jesus

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just mail the child to Effrey Jepstein and you'll get your lost rent money back.

[–] ZaroniPepperoni@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately this glitch was patched recently after Jeff's assa- I mean suicide

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

β€œBased landlords” hate this one weird trick!

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good news kids! Your mom killing herself in here wrecked the property value so I can lower your rent!

"But I won't."

[–] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

A landlord getting their ass off of the couch? I'll believe it when I see it

[–] Spendrill@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

The landlord's here to visit
They're blasting disco down below...

[–] kibiz0r@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Look, I’m just setting my rent according to an analysis of the current market rate for similar properties.

Yes, that analysis is provided by the same company that does estimates for the other properties.

No, I’ve never heard of β€œprice fixing”. Look, your avocado toast is super expensive and it’s cuz the government gave you $600 three years ago so PAY MY MORTGAGE ALREADY YOU EASILY REPLACEABLE COW IN A PEN.

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

There is no price fixing, if you dont like it, go build your own house, this is free market

Edit: everyone taking my comment serious is 11/10

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Clearly they must be giving out free land in good places to live (near were all the jobs are), free materials and free time over there.

It's either that or that house you mention is supposed to be made out of opinions and built in fantasy la-la-land, as it's only how the materials and places to put it in would be endless and free.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean I get both sides here. We live in a free market economy, where the scarcity of something affects the cost of it. People want land close to the city and there's an extremely limited amount of it. If there are n*100 people and only n parcels of land in a small area, how do you provide it to people? Do you sell it? Is it a lottery system? Is the land sold at a base value that never changes? Like, how do you envision this going?

Right now, people have to freedom to buy as much land as they want and set the pricing for that land. What we need is a property owner tax that scales up depending on the amount of property that you own. Though this will just make more land available. No one in their right mind will sell it for less than it's worth though.

[–] justJanne@startrek.website -1 points 10 months ago

If parcel A has a property value of X

And parcel B has a property value of 2X

Then you can have the same rent on both of them if building B is twice as tall as building A.

The whole "single family residential only" zoning in the US is the issue.

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

yes, and if you're homeless just buy a house

btw, it's not a free market if it's controlled by a hand full of companies

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit you ppl actually took my comment serious lmaoo

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

no, you just took my reply serious ;)

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't fuck them, sell them to China as cheap slaves.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Slavery is immoral

Instead, make being poor illegal (arrest people who can't pay for the essentials), arrest them, and THEN use them as slaves, it's fine since they're criminals

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sounds good to me!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago

Ya gotta do yourself in by the most property damaging means, that way the landlord really feels it where it counts when it comes to cleanup and repair.
