Did you double your rent from 2020 to 2022 like everyone else?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77775929


No. I have had a mother with two kids for the last year and half, she always pays on time and lets me know about even the smallest dent in drywall. It’s a 3 & 2 house in a quiet neighborhood with a brand new school a couple blocks away. She’s a great tenant and I have charged her the same since her first months rent. My property is right next to some duplexes and the guy/corporation that owns those is scum. They charge 400 more than I do and it’s one less bedroom. If you’re a good landlord, most of the time you won’t have any issues. There is exceptions but I live in a very rural area and normally get great people.
 Quoting: Rorschach Watchmen


Even a good landlord is still a lazy entitled fuck.

Why dont you sell the house to those nice people at a fair price and get a real job?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77775929


Eventually he will sell his rentals just like me. And when the next landlord buys them and renovates expect the rent to go up 50% minimum. Then those nice people will be out of luck.

WTF is a job?

Re: Ive Been a Landlord for 22 years
All of these whiny bitches are annoying. If you are complaining that it is OP's fault his tenants don't go on vacation, why don't you pay for them to go on vacation?

Maybe they don't want to leave?

You don't know OP, you don't know his tenants, STFU.

Stop playing the victim card. Stop blaming others for your poor choices and projecting in this thread, it is pathetic

Re: Ive Been a Landlord for 22 years
And during all that time I have had one person go on a vacation and it was locally. I have had hundreds of tenants over the years and not one of them has actually gone on an actual vacation. When they take time off it means they are staying home.

Another thing Id like to add is not one of my tenants have had a life of any kind. Most of them go to work every day and come home like Groundhog Day....for YEARS! Then one day I see that they are no longer working at all and just hanging out at home 24/7 whether its old or young, male or female.

Its hard to describe how deadbeat people really are, if they have money they buy the latest BS on TV and have no idea what its like out in the world and dont care to know.

Re: Ive Been a Landlord for 22 years
I have a fellow landlord that needs to renovate a 10 unit. He has two openings and was going to float tenants to the vaccines and remodel each as the lease is set to expire.

One problem the rent is double when the remodel is over. Nobody can afford it so now he is just running the lease out and remodeling them all as they leave.

Problem is his 100% increase is VERY low compared to the local area. So he has rent down-graders on a waiting list because everyone’s rent is going through the roof when the current lease expires.

Where those 10 families going? I have checked prices and nowhere around here that’s for sure.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80788445


Unless their leases are expiring its against the law. Again I have not raised my rents which I sometimes think it maybe why I have deadbeats. They dont have to be more ambitious. Who knows? Im selling out soon so its not my problem anymore. I made more money on the values of the apartments then rent.

I am grateful, my subject wasnt against tenants as bad people, it just seems that most people have no desire for life in any way. Maybe camping, going on a weekend fishing trip, anything. I hear tenants tell me they are avid fishermen/women, campers, often go on business trips etc., but when they move in its nothing. I dont spy on my tenants its just something Ive noticed over the years especially when I often leave. I mean of all ages too.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73438213


9/10 tenants are slobs and don't treat a place as if it is their own. That says more about them than any landlord. They are always surprised when they lose their deposits. Too stupid to read the contract they signed. My last tenant didn't clean a damned thing in the house. Didn't even vacuum, didn't mop, left pet hair in the washer, dirty inside the stove, I don't think they changed the air filter even once while living there, broke almost all of the blinds, and the floor grout is black (This was addressed in their contract). I have to pay $850 to make the floor suitable for the next tenants. Have to replace the cat piss-stained carpet (Was brand new), I paid 1300K before they moved in just to make the floor grout look new. They left dog poop in the backyard. They did not pay a pet deposit for a dog. Tenants don't think about the costs we incur. So when you break something or don't adhere to the contract yes, I will deduct it from your deposits. I'm trying to make a little profit, not spend your rent money on your neglect and carelessness.

Go to any small town, and there will be people who have never left, have never even gone over to the next town. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

Life is a very small, empty place for most people. If you are more fortunate, be grateful.

Many of those people you are criticizing were broken long ago. I am broken.

No one cares. The world is an empty shallow place, as proven by your post.
