I could theoretically sympathise with a landlord that was acting in good faith and providing the services they promised, and who happened to have a legitimately unreasonable tenant, but I have never heard verified instances of this happening.

Really? Because there were plenty of threads on SA about terrible roommates that trashed the place, refused to pay the rent, etc. Are you telling me all those goons were making up stories of roommates that didn't actually exist?

Sure they did, or someone like them did if the story was made up.

It's just that landlords are uniformly worse regardless of case or particulars.

Seriouspost: How hasn't this been happening WAY more, with all the poors becoming homeless and having nothing left to lose? Without even the illusion of enfranchisement, there is literally 0 incentive to not.

very few people actually have literally nothing left to lose

even if you're lying on the street half-dead and starving with no living relatives or friends, you're still more likely to commit crimes in order to continue living (i.e., stealing food, selling drugs, whatever) rather than going out on a "gently caress it" killing spree

i'm sick of hearing "i don't understand why everyone else isn't just killing all the capitalists already" from posters who clearly have no intention of doing it themselves. poor people aren't loving aliens or wild beasts or something, they're humans just like us. just like you're not really enthused about giving up your lives to kill a couple people just to fight back against society, poor people aren't either

Not while I have anything left to lose, no, you are correct about that. But take it all away and push me too far without getting me impractically far from any bank building or something of the sort, you're gonna see some serious poo poo.

All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

my landlord is a reit or some similar anonymous rent seeking megacorp but the people who work in the leasing office are pretty nice. I have talked to a lot of my fellow tenants about forming a tenant organization or tenant union so we can collectively ask for some new gym equipment and have the pool cleaned more regularly and stuff like that. people are interested but afraid of being evicted

loving scum posted:

So, a few months back, we noticed that one of our tenants living in our basement was pregnant, and we asked her that we couldn't have her living there with her baby as it would disrupt the other tenants and whatnot. However, she lied to us and had the baby, and now she doesn't want to move. Apparently, we also cannot evict her as she said the law will side with her, since she needs to support her child.

This cannot go on any longer, her and her child are disrupting the other 3 tenants and they want her to leave, what can I do r/legaladvice? Thanks in advance!

tl;dr Tenant had a baby and we need to evict her legally.

Am I looking like an rear end in a top hat for wanting to evict someone who (first of all lied to me, saying they were going to find another place willingly) disturbs the other tenants and wants them to leave too? Is it bad that I want the majority of my tenants to feel satisfied and to keep my business alive? Because thats the feeling im getting from these comments and downvotes, I dont see what I am doing wrong.

quote:

A New York condo owner is accusing of splitting his Lower East Side apartment into an illegal duplex. But rather than adding walls, he reportedly lowered the ceiling and divided the unite horizontally into two cramped floors.

The ceilings were just 4 1/2 feet high, forcing the nine tenants to crouch or even walk on their knees. The owner reportedly even put bubble wrap on the ceiling to keep residents from banging their head on low-hanging pipes.

I'm fairly certain the costs you incur by being a landlord, be it a license, permit or fee would be written off at the end of the year anyway. Why would you ever want that to be paid and added to your income is beyond me.

I'm tired of being called greedy. Is it greedy to want exorbitant amounts of money at the cost of other people's health, lifespan, or mental stability? Is if greedy to disregard natural balance and strip mine Yosemite? Is it greedy to inject highly volatile liquids at high pressure and give cancer to children for an extra dollar? Well then friends, I'm greedy. But is that so bad?
