Pretty sure it's not an actual thing anywhere, just a subtle pervasive joke.

There have been some smaller landlords who have actually asked for it. If it has been successful for them or not I cannot say. I would assume not, it's fucking asinine.

They're asking for it? WTF.

But hey, I think the value of a tip is the appreciation it shows when it is not expected.

It's been more like coercion as far as I could tell, but yes.

Asinine... Asiten... Either way, landlords rank high on the ass scale.

I fucking hope not.

No I had an old landlord strongly imply he should be tipped.

They basically said "you know it's traditional to tip your maintaince man at Christmas, and I do a lot more than that"

I obviously did not tip.

Your maintenance man is NOT your landlord, and honestly probably deserves a tip. I tip my garbage men on christmas.

Fuck your landlord for implying he does more and deserves a tip though.
