OH LAANNNNDIIIIEEE

A very kiwi story.

Why do you commies hate private property? If I punched holes in your walls and pissed on your carpet would you want me to pay for the damage?

>>54341157
what a gay complaint
oh no, the man had to do some basic fucking cleanup after people moved out

the worst landlords are the ones that continuously rip off responsible tenants with crazy rent increases

>>54341066
imagine having carpet in a property that you will rent

why are Americans so disgusting and stupid?

>>54341186
Get a real job, parasite.

What problem do you have with people renting their private property? If you rented a car and trashed it would your excuse be to simply call the rental company a parasite?

>>54341273
In the story it's what the landlord claimed but the tribunal didn't find any evidence the damages were beyond standard wear and tear or intentional modifications he never objected to.

>>54341186
What value do landjannies provide? All they do is pump property prices because they have access to more debt than the average person and make it unaffordable. Literal parasites

How much of a failure do you have to be as a white guy to have a non-white (not jewish) landlord.

Based kiwis fucking over poo landie.

>>54341273
The issue is they don't actually own anything, they pay rent to the bank to rent out the cash.

>>54341305
This is the difference-maker here. Other than maybe the front door, all of that "damage" immediately sounded like wear & tear to me, not intentional damage
I'm not one of the landlord-hating faggots on here, but I side with the tenants on this one

>Kumar
The tenants should have sued him for land theft

>>54341507
They even cover the door in the article
>Based on the evidence provided which shows the door as in relatively poor condition and probably original (the house being dated to the 1960’s in the assessor’s report), it is also possible to categorise it as fair wear and tear. The onus lies on the landlord to prove that damage is not fair wear and tear and it has not been discharged.”

Home rentals aren't worth the time. Imagine dealing with this bullshit for 2.5 percent yields. So many people live like animals, in filth. Better to have your house go totally empty than rent to subhumans.

They provide a place for you to stay that you don't need to own. There is value in this. I don't want to own a place at the moment as I prefer my liquid cash and the ability to move if I have a fuckwit neighbour.
Housing being unaffordable is a symptom of a broken monetary system and banks being able to create money out of thin air.
Get mad at landlords all you want but housing affordability is a symptom of a much greater problem.

I feel like a lot of this comes down to just petty fights over stupid crap that would be bad in any business. If you owned a restaurant and some customer complained about the food and didn't pay for it, are you going to waste your time arguing with them because they wouldn't pay you 20 dollars? It's just not practical. This tenant, if we assume he paid a year lease, would have paid well over ten thousand dollars. And this landlord is wasting time worrying about "repairs" that would cost maybe a few hundred, they would be free if he would just spend an hour of his own time cleaning and putting some plaster over the hole in the wall. And bought a new garage remote which costs 10 dollars. Move on and find a better tenant. I know that is easier said that done. But, even if we assume that every tenant is like this, you still profit an insane amount of money. Just petty fights and stupid business practices. Everybody in this situation is terrible

>>54341687
Usually any rental will involve a deposit, so even if the tenant trashes the place the landlord won't really have lost any money. If you rent a place out and you can just walk away from it for a year, even if you have to clean it up and pay for some repairs when the tenant leaves, that is a pretty good profit. Of course if you are still paying a mortgage off then the only ones who benefit are the bank

> Pranil Kumar
lol, lmao

>>54342092
Just carpet and paint can run several thousand these days. Deposits aren't that high.

>>54341949
If they weren't hoarding the property, then people wouldn't have to rent.

>>54341066
SIRRR YOU CANNOT REDEEM THE DEPOSIT

>>54341273
>private property
who did they get it from?
the indians?
the GAVE this shit away for FREE 200 years ago (after they stole it from the indians)

you no longer have the opportunity for free indian land, all the rich slave owners took it first.

All private property should be abolished and redistributed along with all existing wealth. Anyone with more than $100k in the bank account should be immediately sent to a hard labor camp for life.

Afterwards everyone get's their own section of land and if you want more you can rent it from the government and the proceeds go to your UBI paycheck.

>>54342315
If you think landlords are the hoarders driving property prices up I must remind you of the many hundreds of thousands of plots of literally fucking empty development being held by foreign investors playing the north american property market like a very lucrative casino.

>>54342426
So not only are landjannies parasites, they are also actively helping to make China richer.
Hell is too good of a place for these fuckers.

>>54342571
You really don't understand what I was pointing out there, do you?

>>54342426
So the parasites are helping hostile foreign powers get rich by hoarding land. Even worse than parasites, they are actual enemies of the United States

>>54342426
>way of land mafia
I had enough of this zoning law bullshit.

>>54342092
deposits are generally 1, maybe 2 months worth of rent at most dude.

a one month deposit even on a cheap place will usually be around a thousand bucks minimum. I have seen some renters really trash places, but 99 percent of the time they just don't clean and leave some stains in the carpet or they have a hole in the wall, things that would take just a few hours to rectify. It's just not sensible to worry about that kind of thing when you already have a one or two thousand dollar deposit. I think a lot of landlords see a dirty carpet and a chipped counter and they get angry and want to have a fight with the tenant, when it's just part of the business. You can't realistically expect to rent out a place and have it returned in exactly the same condition, and the deposit is very good protection. With almost any other business, you have to show up every day and actively do the work, and there are always lost profits, things are thrown away, expired, etc. But with landlords they just get money every month, and then they act like it's a crime against humanity when they have to spend a few hours cleaning carpet and painting a cabinet, it's just very strange.

>>54344129
Thousand bucks is nothing

>>54344222
It’s enough to wet vac a carpet and touch up paint. Hell, it’s enough for the lazy landjannie to pay somebody to do it for them
