Are all landlords using this flyer? I found it taped to my door this morning. My rep payee forgot to mail my check. This is the first time I've even been late, and my rent is usually $221/month so I don't know what the rest is about. I took my check to the office and the property manager wasn't there, but her receptionist said she was pretty mad. I never got any of these e-mails/notices/texts/calls, either. Sigh. Hopefully I can just pay the rest over the next couple of months and not get thrown out. I'm on disability and my rent is subsidized so I'm kinda a guaranteed $1000/month for them.



I bet she saw the original viral post, thought the flyer was hilarious and a great way to stick it to her tenants, and just made a copy of her own without caring whether the text applied or not.

This was showing up in Twitter posts and stuff, I'm not gonna lie I sort of assumed it was not real. But landlords do seem to have "professional associations" so maybe it's being distributed as an idea by one of those? Not sure.

Also you probably need a lawyer to deal with eviction stuff, check with the law thread in (I think?) A/T and they can point you to resources for low-income people if necessary.

Thanks! I think it's just a threat at this point, but if it comes to that, the state housing authority will help me out. I've dealt with all the resources a bunch already, unfortunately. I just couldn't believe she used the Twitter meme as an actual threat lol

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

i never really had any out of the ordinary negative experiences with a landlord but if you don't hate them on principle you're not a leftist and don't understand poo poo about poo poo

Yeah I rented from 2002 to 2016

I had some lovely landlords and some not so lovely ones. The worst was a big management company that lost my check and tried to tack on a months worth of late fees until I showed them the carbon copy of the check I wrote them and they miraculously found my payment from that month.

I just didn't feel visceral hate beyond what I feel for any other business until I saw that loving flyer

Also landlords complaining about their investments not having a guaranteed return during a pandemic and financial collapse really accelerated the hatred

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

I have scarred up arms and legs from dozens and dozens of bug bites long ago I got from living in a slumlord's property. Our cat got killed in the 5' dry grass (fleas and fire hazard hooray). I learned to ignore gunshots while sleeping. Got asthma from the basement which repeatedly flooded and grew black mold. You ever seen a crockroach come out of your cereal and still ate it? The oven kept coming on at full power because a roach got inside and shorted something. The property manager was another tenant who did it for a rent deduction and spent most of her time screaming at us.

As you may expect, none of these things were addressed and we withheld rent as a result. He showed up in a obviously unnecessary neckbrace at the court and blamed it all on us. Judge immediately sided with us, I think in part for how deeply unpleasant our landlord was.

On the other hand both Safeway and a burgerville were in walking distance so it's kind of a toss up.

I lived in a place that if I was late on rent would put up fake eviction paperwork taped to my door

I think it's a shame tactic + escalation. I don't even think in most states the first missed month is grounds to evict anyway, not without notice and some time for you to pay, but could be wrong. This paperwork might be their 'notice' so that they can evict ASAP or it might be literally just because they think so little of you that their first idea is to give you PTSD b/c they didn't see your check

Yeah, they know I moved here in March because I was evicted from my last apartment for having forbidden cats. My friend committed suicide and we couldn't find a home for them in time. So I had to move from the University of Delaware campus in Newark to downtown Wilmington. There was a drive by right outside my window 2 weeks after I moved here! But this was the only place available. So they know I have nowhere else to go. They'd have to give me formal notice and 60 days to move out if I were being evicted, at least.

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we
are. They are different.

And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.

Jesus Christ no they're saying that the n word has faded from our mainstream lexicon (it hasn't) while the word bitch which is the same (it isn't) has remained

it's a lovely take but at least get which brand of poo poo it is correctly
