do you want politicians to care about you in 4 years or 8?

again, I'm not privileged enough to risk another 4 years of a trump presidency. Those who truly believe trump and biden are 2 sides of the same coin truly live in a racial bubble

bite the fucking bullet and hope the DNC learns a fucking lesson and realizes your vote matters. don't give them a free vote because the other guy is slightly worse. that's how they've manipulated you into never voting for a progressive

I'm not white. no fucking way in hell 4 more years of trump is even remotely an option.

Everyone has to live somewhere. No one has to make their income from owning and restricting housing.

The right to have somewhere decent to live is far more important than the right for landlords to make a specific amount of money.

Workers in the short term don't always have a chance or choice to greatly improve their income. Schooling takes years of time and money, promotions are at another person's discretion, same with new jobs etc. A wage slave can't simply decide they want to own a house, there's so many factors and other decision makers between them and that goal. A landlord decides when and where to be a landlord.

These are just some of the reasons why there is no "double standard" involved in favoring renters over landlords. Just because there are two sides involved doesn't mean that treating the two sides differently is unfair. The sides are fundamentally different.

This post is where its at

if you're a landlord, you will get royally fucked up by this.

But if you're one of those billion dollar corporations whose business is to build high rises and then rent the apartments (like the camden property trust) then you can probably evict people easily.

its madness to hold the business owner (a willful act undertaken by those who should be responsible enough to handle minor financial issues)

then people who enter a contract in which they agree to handle rent should be responsible enough.

no matter how many times you repeat your absurd double standard, it's still wrong.

If you say so.

Cost of living in much of america continues to outpace wage growth

Landlords across the country, particularly in the last decade, have grossly exploited lack of supply to jack up rent prices

its madness to hold the business owner (a willful act undertaken by those who should be responsible enough to handle minor financial issues) to the same standard as the 9-5er. No one made you buy that second house or depend entirely on your tenants rent to pay for your first one. that's fundamentally bad business, aimed at exploiting the working class (everyone needs shelter). If some shit like this exposes you, I dont feel bad

Bullshit.

You're trying to rationalize having a double standard for people you don't sympathize with and people you do.

You're employing similar Republican-style rhetoric when it suits you and hand waving it when it doesn't

The reality is every functioning adult is obligated to have money set aside for emergencies, but most are unable to do so due to unfortunate circumstances or personal failing or irresponsibility. It's no different if your line of work is providing and maintaining a dwelling, IT work, construction, or whatever.

Like I said in the beginning of this topic, if you can't afford to go a month without rent as a landlord, you dont need to be one. You're living too close to the edge and risking people's homes to make money off of them.

Business owners are held to higher standard than an average 9-5er, and rightfully so

Hey. That's fine. But by the same logic, if you can't afford to pay your bills because you missed getting paid for a month, you're a shit tennant/head of household/whatever

comparing a business owner to someone living check to check doesnt make sense. One has a much bigger obligation to have money on hand in case of an emergency. It's even less acceptable in the apartment rental industry, given the absurd increases in rent nationwide over the last decade plus

Entitled millenials who want everything free.

it's not entitlement to believe a business should be ran competently. Comparing a business owner in terms of what available assets they should have to a 9-5er is absurd.

A month of no rent ruins you? Being a landlord ain't the business for you then. Providing shelter for profit shouldnt be permitted for those who live so financially close to the edge

You didn't address the point. You are hating on landlords for having small margins. The way for them to raise margins is for them to raise prices which I'm sure you don't want.

You are literally hating on landlords for not being rich while at the same time trying to demonize them as rich and holding all the cards.

landlords are ALREADY gouging tenants nationwide. If they're still living so close to the edge, they're a shit landlord

Yeah screw those landlords that give a good price for their tenants. They should jack up their prices so they get a larger margin.

You seem to be generalizing quite a bit. Sorry if your landlord is a dick.

Unless youre one of those nut jobs always railing against the evils of landlording in general.

my guy, I have several friends who own rental properties and they all keep talking like scarface.

"Corona or not, I need that rent on the first"

and I just keep looking at them like "you know that's not happening for a lot of your tenants and this mentality is why no one will come to your support, right?"
