As someone who owns an appartment complex I want to fine them for roof junk.

[-] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

The last apartment I was in had dozens of satellite dishes on the back of every building for a dozen apartments, they didn't even bother to check if one was hooked up before screwing a new one into the wall

I found that dish will screw giant lag bolts right through the shingles of your roof, right next to 3 other abandoned dishes. They are no longer allowed in our complex. I finally identified all the abandoned ones (alost all of them now as they are phased out), removed them and patched all the shingles. Filled an entire dump trailer. It was ridiculous. Had to repair ceilings from the leaks. Cable company is almost as bad. They leave all the old wires up, run new ones right over top. Putting nails through all the siding. But at least they aren't destroying the roof.

You own an apartment complex?

He can't respond because he's too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

This is true actually. But I had to work late because I accidentally got some on the wall.

As someone who is an actual living human: give your shit away.

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As an also actual living human, I rent strictly to seniors, our rent is $4-500 cheaper than anything else comparable in town because they live on fixed income and I am a paramedic/firefighter that works 3 jobs to survive. I am not one of the scumbags (I don't think?) I don't make much of a profit because I refuse to raise the rent on a bunch of widowed old ladies living on fixed incomes and I put my resources back into the units to maintain or improve their living conditions. Yeah, it increases the property value. So I'm not going to pretend it's pure charity, it is a business. But I am not gouging my tenants while I very much can during the housing shortage like every other landlord in my small town.

If I gave it away it would just be bought up by the same monopoly that owns every other complex in my town. He has offered me 3 times what I paid and I refused to sell. Not because I wouldn't LOVE the money, but because the tenants that are pretty much family, that have watched my kids grow up, that have gone to my wedding, would all immediately be out on their ass.
