If anything that's a good insight as to why this thread is getting so much hate. In the same way that all politics are local and we should focus on the playing field an individual can most effectively influence, the landlords posting here are equivalent to our local bourgeois. Still small enough to have a face to put to the systemic violence, and not big enough to actually be able to hire people outside of a dead gay forum for advice.

Dealing with local politics can have tangible local impacts and create real change. Brigading a thread with a bunch of small time landlords scattered throughout the country/world is not something that creates any meaningful change. It seems that if you really believe in what you're saying you are spending your efforts doing what is easy and makes you feel good rather than putting in the work to advocate meaningfully for the changes you want to see.

If I ever put pressure on my local politicians when it comes to property and renting it would not be to give construction companies tax breaks in hopes that they trickle down some newly built real estate to poor families to rent. There's no brigading going on here. People are individually finding out that this thread has a bunch of horrible people in it and they come in to say so. Said horrible people respond with "stop being poor and you too can have real estate peasants... why are people calling me a monster? Katt fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Apr 3, 2019 |

Brigading a thread with a bunch of small time landlords scattered throughout the country/world is not something that creates any meaningful change. What if I do advocacy and post? Misses my actual point anyways, which is that naw the landlords here deserve as much scorn as our local ones, of which they're functionally indistinguishable on a class level. Really a bunch of this just comes down to the broke brains incentivized by capitalism and/or BFC where time, along with everything else, needs to be perfectly optimized to some mysteriously "nonideological" definition of productive. Anything that isn't that optimization is either the individual showing that they're too stupid to do the optimization right or are insincere in whatever task or goal they have because they aren't throwing themselves head-first into being a living robot.

I think I might be able to dole out some valuable advice for these landlords. So many posters didn't get good advice the first time they posted.Keetron posted:What did you enter in the contract about these appliances? I have a similar situation where I rent out my apartment until the market for selling it moves up, but I explicitly said that the appliances present in the house are there on a as-is base, the tenant is granted free use while they function properly and I am not responsible for repairing or replacing them when they break down and the tenant is free to swap them for nicer things if they want. I suggest you check with your lawyer on this one. I suspect your contract might skirt the law a wee bit. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

kitten smoothie posted:I rent out a townhouse in a larger development that has freestanding single family houses in it. There's an HOA for the street of townhouses and the whole development has its own master HOA. Both are represented by the same inept management company; I half wonder if they are some board member's cousin or something. Hey buddy, payment plans are a valuable tool for a landlord or HOA. You should be more flexible so you can expand your landlord toolset. I bet those people probably like having a place to live.

Bloody Queef posted:Shielding Assets: It's something the extremely wealthy do and something you as a rental property owner should do too* Hey buddy, I don't think that's the intended use of these laws. You should probably invest in keeping your rental property safe and following all major codes to prevent lawsuits in the first place rather than abusing tax laws to hide your assets.

This thread has averaged less than 1 post per day since it started, I don't really think anyone notices or cares about you guys posting in it. On an unrelated note I am not a landlord but you all seem like you would be some nightmare tenants, maybe that's why you all have problems with your landlords. Perhaps the landlords in the thread could throw out some helpful tips on how to be a better renter?

Don't get arrested. Understand that you are paying extra for not taking on risk of buying and selling property.
