No Landlords on Lemmy I imagine

Edit: *greedy. No greedy landlords on Lemmy

I have a few rentals. Only one of them was purchased as a straight up investment. The others were just the places where I used to live. I also have a job. Theaye posts are honestly pretty childish. I rent my places out more or less at cost, and often take applicants who are seen as too risky by most landlords (I basically guarantee my own rentals, because I don't really need the cash flow). I see it more as community service than a revenue stream.

That's why I just think this shit is childish. Almost everyone I rent to is in no position to buy. I guess they'd just be homeless without landlords. I've had people who have literally been turned down 50 times, who were living in their car, and broke down crying when I told them I'd rent to them without a co-signer.

Usually not, I try not to mingle with the...riff raff...who we allow to occupy our homes. And when they forget the manditory tip, whelp out to the streets with you since you can't manage your finances.
