    Can we really not leave his “ironic” pro-landlord bullshit on reddit? They don’t give a fuck about you, they will never want anything for you other than paying your rent, you’ll never be one unless you’ve already got really good money. “jokingly” jerking them off isn’t gonna change any of that

    Istg if I see the word rentoid on here regularly I’m chucking my phone in a river

      They’re taking the piss out of people who defend landlords, why so mad. This is a shitpost community, don’t need to be so serious

      This post might just be taking the piss at those trying to defend landlords. Or its a genuine effort to take their side, I’m not sure. Anyway, criticism of landlords was bound to bring people to defend them and/or criticise renters in response. Don’t fret too much, many of us also despise the accumulation of weath through acquiring real estate.

      Our landlady is pretty cool. If we want to buy something that can be an addition to the flat (like furniture or appliances or something) she gladly pays for it. So far in two years she paid for our coffee machine, rice cooker, balcony table and chairs, living room rug, and a new bed in my room. Downside of course is that if we move these have to stay, but honestly it’s such a good place for about half the market value that we’re not planning to do it any time soon. And of course if there’s any maintenance required, we just send her a photo and a link with a price to a part that needs replacing or supplies that need to be bought and she pays for it, and I guess she’s glad she doesn’t have to pay for a technician, we just do it ourselves.

      I visited my landlady every week and listened to her tell stories about growing up 90 years ago in the house I live in. I made double portions of dinners and brought half to her. She made me cookies from her mom’s recipes. I called her kids when she seemed disoriented and I stayed in the hospital all night with her when they weren’t sure she would make it till morning. I stayed with her when they brought her back to her house so she could look at her garden a last time and I held her hand while she passed.

      Not all landlords are bad.
