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

Am landlord. I change the locks cylinders and specifically tell them this is their home now and I won't have a spare. I do this because it's a liability for me if they get robbed, they can't blame me.
Amazing how people feel it's okay to out themselves as parasitic landlord scum still.
I'm pretty proud of my work for my community. I specifically help people like traveling nurses and displaced families. I only charge enough to cover my cost.
how much is that? and where does this cost come from?
My mortgage, taxes, repairs/upkeep, and subtracting my potential gains(which has been pretty stagnant). I'm about 20% below market price for yearly rent in my area. I don't do long term. Just use it for mostly traveling nurses.
So other people are paying your mortgage? And you feel like you've done something to deserve that?
I mean, when you go to the grocery store or to a restaurant or get service done on your vehicle, do you pay for that service? Was there cost that they paid for prior to servicing you? My home is no different. Does that help you understand this a bit more?
When I buy a meal at a restaurant, dumbfuck, the food I buy is mine. When the other people pay your mortgage, you disgusting leech mosntrosity, the house remains yours. You are a thief.
Are you capable of having a civil conversation with someone you hate without insults?
How about when you get a hotel room? Do you get to keep that hotel room? Or when you rent a car? Is that car yours?
I want you to understand the difference between services and products purchased.
Owning something isn't "providing a service" and no we aren't going to be "civil" to you here. In fact you will more than likely be banned for being a parasitic landhoard
Only if they're an outdoor landlord so they can experience the housing insecurity they have created.
eat my entire ass
if it’s “their home now” why don’t you give them the deed?
Because traveling nurses don't intend to live here long term and it's too expensive to live in hotels or Airbnb's for 3-6 months.

Edit: Fuck you
This is the kind of gem we'd never have without federation. I hope someone sues you anyways.
Sue me for what? What law did I break?
You're a parasite!
How so? Please explain. Maybe we can find some common ground. This is your opportunity to ask questions to someone you hate.
"As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce." - Adam Smith
Whether you already know (and are feigning ignorance) or not, that's just different kinds of aware and unaware parasitism. Rent-seeking as an economic activity is parasitism, full stop.
Nobody hates you. We hate landlords. Landlord-ism isn't an inalienable trait. You weren't born a lord or lady of the land. You can stop forcing people to pay your mortgage anytime you want.
Get a job and stop being a lazy parasite living off someone else's contributions to society.
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.
Check where you're posting dumbass before coping to your "profession" as a thieving parasite.
I don't understand why you guys are flaming me. My house is used as a short term housing. I started doing it during covid for traveling nurses when nobody would rent to them. Then I still continued for people who were displaced. More recently I have someone from Maui and needed temporary housing while they were rebuilding their home.
I would have sold it but only do this for tax purposes. I'm well below the market only covering my mortgage and taxes.
Not all of us are assholes and leeches. There is clearly a need that hotels and Airbnb's are leeching over. Some of us care about our community and are not trying to better ourselves.
Yes, all of you are leeches. You take another person's hard-earned money without doing anything to earn it. Owning something is not a job.
"I allow needy people to have food. I'm not like one of those greedy people who stand between good people and their needs. Just your humble, reasonable person who does the same."
It's so tiresome.
Do you also expect grocery stores to give food out for free too? It cost the shop owner time and money to provide that service. Or do you feel entitled for all services and stuff others spent time acquiring?
What service? The opportunity to pay you? To cover your mortgage and tax? You're paywalling a human right and saying you're one of the good ones.
If they're covering your mortgage, these people are buying you your house. Owning a house after a decade or two, even if you really did have nothing else earned in the meantime, is massive profit leeched from others.
Thank you for providing an answer to the question posed in the post. I appreciate you contributing constructively to this thread. Now face the wall.
Were you born this much of a demon or was it a choice to remove the human parts of yourself?
parasitic scumbag
