they used to have an on-call maintenance person that could unlock your apartment, but then a couple of years ago the leasing office that ran three buildings got bought by a bigger property management company that runs thousands

      You guys assume I make a profit for my home. I barely cover my cost(some months losing money) and only do this to help my community. There are needs for temporary housing that aren’t hotels and Airbnb’s.

        You don’t cover the cost at all, your fucking tenant does who actually works and contributes to society in order to pay for your fucking lifestyle. Fuck you. Your relationship with society is literally parasitical, your goal is “passive income” by making other people work not just for themselves but for your life too.

        Berlin is expropriating property from landlords in the city soon, 60% voted in favour of it at referendum. That’s how unpopular you fucks are. Hope you’re not too attached to your properties because this idea of expropriation will eventually mainstream and spread.

        I kinda understand your mentality from a purely capitalist perspective, but you seem to forget that a mortgage is something that you’re supposed to pay. If you’re renting it should cover nothing more than damages.

        If a renter is paying your mortgage, then they deserve a stake in your home.

        So if you paid 200k for a home (or have a mortgage on 200k) then your renter should be given a 10% stake in the home for every $20k they spend. With that sakee also taking on the percentage interest that you’re paying on the mortgage. So if you are charging $2000/month and your mortgage is only $2000/month, then at any point, the renter should be able to become owner of the home (by a significant margin because even at a predatory rate, that monthly is well above the mortgage).

        If you are renting well below the mortgage, then they deserve a stake still. For every percent of the mortgage they help you pay, they deserve a return. If you don’t give them their percentage, then you’re stealing.

        If they’re paying your above the mortgage, then they have the right to kill you and take the home for themselves.
