tipping? do Americans tip their fucking landlords too?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It was a 4chan meme to "trigger the lefties", but turned into a shitpost.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

consider me triggered

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 17 points 15 hours ago

.....do other countries seriously lack that much respect that they don't even tip their landlords? my god what a shithole the rest of the world is

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've heard of cow tipping. Is landlord tipping the same sort of thing?

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] evilcultist@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

But what about landlord tipping?

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

Idk, it sounds plausible.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

but i saw it happen in the barnyard movie

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah. By paying the mortgage plus 30% on the property they bought at double a fair market rate just to keep me from buying it for myself.

I love paying double in rent what I would pay for a market-rate mortgage and getting no equity in return.

Thanks landlords!

It's totally different where I live (in the San Francisco Bay Area)... Renting is cheaper than buying here. A lot of the landlords bought their property a long time ago when it was much cheaper.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

If it's that simple, why don't you just buy somewhere?

It was for me, so I did. Went from paying £375/m rent to £200/m mortgage.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Because I don't qualify for a mortgage for double the fair market rate. That's why they're willing to pay so much for the properties. It keeps us from buying them.

Because banks for some reason think that people can't afford to pay a mortgage that's less than their current rent.

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Most people can't do that without leaving the community they have roots in

[–] ArchRecord@lemm.ee 6 points 16 hours ago

Some landlords that are complete assholes ask, but I doubt you'll actually see anybody actually do it.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

No we don't, but they wish we would.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tipping your landlord is essential for a good relationship. Not tipping them is basically wage theft.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

Press the crosspost button to repost! And tip your landlord.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The "inadequate pay" one got me rolling. 😂

Inadequate pay for what exactly? Owning some land and squeezing money from the people who actually take care of it? Fuck landlords!

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

I don't rent currently, but if I do end up renting out a room, I got the inadequate pay for the house by first delivering pizzas and then manufacturing shit.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

For all the services they provide us

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you, I needed a good laugh today. 😂

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I'm glad I could help, upvotes on the left. Or wherever they are. That's my obligatory tip!

Don't steal! You should rent it. And tip OP.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I would but my low, low income as a landlord with only 14 properties makes that impossible.

Can't believe tipping landlords was considered even as a meme lol

Lmfao.

My landlord's hardwork: Calling the service repair guy. Making sure the property management company pays him my rent. Paying for a new AC he cheaped out on decades ago.

He has multiple properties. I don't know if it's possible to use each one at the same time, if so that's a wild power, and I would totally not rent them out.

And if the pay is inadequate maybe he should get a job lol

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Sounds like your landlord is underpaid tbh

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If they're landlords, the correct term for a tenant is landslave

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 28 points 1 day ago

Landserf would be a more accurate term.
