Can we really not leave his "ironic" pro-landlord bullshit on reddit? They don't give a fuck about you, they will never want anything for you other than paying your rent, you'll never be one unless you've already got really good money. "jokingly" jerking them off isn't gonna change any of that
Istg if I see the word rentoid on here regularly I'm chucking my phone in a river
They're taking the piss out of people who defend landlords, why so mad. This is a shitpost community, don't need to be so serious
This post might just be taking the piss at those trying to defend landlords. Or its a genuine effort to take their side, I'm not sure. Anyway, criticism of landlords was bound to bring people to defend them and/or criticise renters in response. Don't fret too much, many of us also despise the accumulation of weath through acquiring real estate.
Yup
Rentoid

Our landlady is pretty cool. If we want to buy something that can be an addition to the flat (like furniture or appliances or something) she gladly pays for it. So far in two years she paid for our coffee machine, rice cooker, balcony table and chairs, living room rug, and a new bed in my room. Downside of course is that if we move these have to stay, but honestly it's such a good place for about half the market value that we're not planning to do it any time soon. And of course if there's any maintenance required, we just send her a photo and a link with a price to a part that needs replacing or supplies that need to be bought and she pays for it, and I guess she's glad she doesn't have to pay for a technician, we just do it ourselves.
So.
She bought herself those things, and you do the maintenance on your apartment, while she charges what used to be considered an ok rate before the market got captured by algorithmic price fixing and private equity firms.
Yes, unfortunately that does make her "one of the good ones."
Yes, you CAN twist the narrative of almost anything to sound shitty!
Yes, landlord simps WILL be mad at an accurate description of the situation!
1: Renting itself is an important stepping stone in current society 2: Corporations fucking love it when dumbasses fight those only slightly better off than then instead of the corporations/people at the top 3: None of this matters to you because feeling big about yourself is more important than actually talking/listening to those you're engaged with
I visited my landlady every week and listened to her tell stories about growing up 90 years ago in the house I live in. I made double portions of dinners and brought half to her. She made me cookies from her mom's recipes. I called her kids when she seemed disoriented and I stayed in the hospital all night with her when they weren't sure she would make it till morning. I stayed with her when they brought her back to her house so she could look at her garden a last time and I held her hand while she passed.
Not all landlords are bad.
There are nice people everywhere. There were nice aristocrats who lived off the favour of the courts, whose wealth was also stolen.
Look, I'm also considering renting my house out for a very low amount to a young family and living in a garage when I'm older, but at least I know I'm taking advantage of a system that gives me unearned advantages for getting in on real estate early.
I don't need anyone to defend me. I have actual privilege.
Have you apologised for your privilege today?
What would that accomplish?
I just try my best to pay it forward while being aware that my situation is due to luck
It was a joke
Ah, I was being serious.
