when i was a kid, i heard about how people pay rent to landlords. my line of thinking to that was, "weren't landlords a thing that existed in medieval times?" even as a kid i knew that landlords are disgusting parasites we passed a very good set of rent regulations in New York this month. as you might expect, landlords are throwing a fit about them  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCiYmCVikjo

i like to sum up my experience living under terrible landlord Richard Bennett with one anecdote: on a Friday night, i was kept up all night by a mouse scurrying around my room and making noises by walking around. the following morning, Bennett drove in from his residence in Long Island to make the rounds in the building he owned, driving a new Mercedes Benz and wearing a faux-fur pimp jacket

Nonsense posted:Airbnb has extended landlord rule another 1000 years, hopefully they can be found criminally liable for something and the company liquidated.

the guy on the left in the video still image is Burak Firik and he was my landlord for about a year. before he got caught trying to build an Airbnb hostel in an apartment that he and a business partner/literal partner in crime signed a lease for, he spent the last couple of months putting unoccupied rooms in my five-bedroom in Crown Heights on that site. i had no idea what he was planning at the time, considering that i got my room in that apartment over Craigslist. it all made sense when one of my roommates there sent me that story by the way, that five-bedroom unit, along with the other five-bedroom units in the building, were originally one-bedroom. he kicked everyone out, first the left side of the building and then the right side, to convert them into three-bedroom units. this was in summer 2015 and they still haven't finished the work

a friend of mine lived in a small room that just had a bed, a closet, and some room for his stuff, although i suppose he technically had two roommates but they lived in the proper apartment and he had access to there. he was kicked out because the landlord wanted his son to move in

Heartcatch posted:Airbnb is pretty much peak landlordism and I deplore how much of any area with tech jobs is filled with that sort of opportunism at the cost of tenants.

here's a good article about the potential avenues landlords might use in NYC to raise rents on rent-regulated units. thankfully, their options are either neutered or so extreme that there's no chance they can be pushed through without significant backlash. rent regulated housing looks to be safe, but the protections for unregulated aren't nearly as strong (though there are a few of them), and that's no consolation to the hundreds of thousands of units that have been taken off of regulation thankfully, they're permanent instead of subject to renewal every four years, so future battles for tenant rights should be more frequent and productive

either this is a coordinated effort by regular posters in the landlord thread to get even with the people who told them how parasitic they are, or you're all just that stupid. either way

Blackstone is being a big gay baby about the new state rent laws and halting certain renovations at one of NYC's largest apartment complexes as a result
