Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

You are a middleman who provides no value. The difference between the people paying you and yourself is one earns their daily bread while you rest on the work of the past. It is enough that you are getting money, don't expect us to like you just because you can legally do your "work" slightly worse.
The value I provide is taking over the risks and responsibilities of owning the apartment. Not everybody is willing or able to take out a loan of that size. The tenant maintains their flexibility of moving wherever they want or need to at relatively short notice. If there’s problems with the apartment I must figure it out, not them. It’s not my job by the way. The rent my tenants pay covers the bills I get for owning the apartment. I‘m employed somewhere else. What is your idea of doing it differently? Must housing be just free for everyone? Or everybody must just buy? I’m generally curious!
Whatever you tell yourself at night.
