    I haven’t raised rent for my tenants for 3 years and dropped it during the pandemic. I repair everything in the house as fast as humanly possible. I added AC to the house and replaced my furnace with a heat pump to reduce the carbon footprint in efforts to increase my tenants comforts.

    I will eventually move back into the house when I move back to the states. So I want to make sure anyone who stays there is happy and keeps an eye on my house.

    People here call me a pig or scum. Good thing other peoples opinions don’t matter to me. I just want to point out that some of us are not here to make a buck.

      The criticism isn’t really supposed to be about how nice or not nice you are anyway. The landlaird bad meme is just a good way to open people’s eyes if need be and allow people to vent which they have the right to. The fundamental problem is with the ownership of an asset that is a necessity. And probably the fact that it even is so commodified.

        Crazy how that information never comes through in these initial messages. It’s almost like it’s a bad message, and serves only to further polarize each side.
