Landlords provide housing rentals.

You don't actually own the housing and for some reason you're obligated to the landlord, not the other way around.

You are acting like you are right as a matter of course. I attempt to show you why you may be wrong, and you flippantly dismiss it outright.

You claim landlords don't provide housing, which is literally objectively false. Sorry, i tend to "flippantly dismiss" stupid claims.

Shablagoo posted...
Like here, for example. No, most people are not fine with giving a huge chunk of their income to someone whos only job in the equation is to own their home. Its the same relationship serfs had with feudal lords, who gave massive amounts of resources produced by their labor to their lords, out of some nebulous concept that the lords owned the land, for whatever reason.

Here are some choice quotes from Adam Smith, the Father of Capitalism, that Ill leave you with:

[Landlords] are the only one of the three orders whose revenue costs them neither labour nor care, but comes to them, as it were, of its own accord, and independent of any plan or project of their own. That indolence, which is the natural effect of the ease and security of their situation, renders them too often, not only ignorant, but incapable of that application of mind.

The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/manuscripts/rent.htm

Yeah, I'm still not reading any of your commie rants. But I'm sure government housing during the Soviet Union was just breathtakingly luxurious. Sorry if that's "flippantly dismissive" lol

Landlords provide housing rentals.

The issue is really centered around the reality that renters are paying down the debts of others who were fortunate enough to get something out of their debt.

If I pay off the loan of somebodies house, that house should at least be partially mine, but people go through the mental gymnastics to pretend rent money isnt mortgage money because it changes hands first.

Its literally like the bullshit my ex tried to pull with me. My third of the rent was 1/3 and that was what was agreed on.

Then her and her mother go and get a brand new car (not even used, literally brand new), and then all of a sudden I have to fork over an extra $400/mo in "rent" money? They tried so hard to gaslight me but I wasnt stupid. They had a $600 car payment they didnt have before and now I suddenly have to pay almost a grand in rent when I know the landlord didnt jack up the rent?

Fucking please.

This. You're not even guaranteed privacy.

To add to this, renters can't take in people from homelessness as it's a violation of their lease, so the whole "LeT tHeM LiVe WiTh YoU" argument is dumb.

Landowners can't 'own' something when it's a piece of territory to a governing body, regular people have to rent out from the government initially because it's the only way they can get ahead. Taking away what is considered to generally be a safe bet from hardworking people just seems like an all around step backwards. You can up the value of minimum wage and we'd still be in an enclosed cage where our options are creating a product in the sea of many, becoming famous in some form (possible, becoming less over time), or working at a skill to such a high level that it affords people saying 'okay I'll invest in you'

You can open up a business, sure

but that ceiling of how many businesses you can fit in one place becomes important when you realize you need property for that and how it'll tank price margins for people due to competition

Idk why we do the whole second guessing thing because we've already answered most of :

Where do realistic acceptable property rights begin and end? Should we secure basic needs for all people? How do we resolve this? Free housing? Community developed? State developed?What about covering costs of homebuilding and allowing self-build or people hire it out? What if we remove land rights and just divvied it up? Do we first tackle things that support landlords like lenders?

sans yer last two questions in which case, yeah I guess you're free to wonder I guess

The same way leasing a car works. You get the benefits of "ownership" with none of the responsibility. If the water pump goes, thats the dealerships problem. Are dealerships evil for giving people the option to enjoy something without the liability and responsibility that comes with actual ownership?

No, and neither are landlords. If you don't want to "pay someone else's bill", acquire your own. As a homeowner, there are many, many days I miss not having a landlord to call and fix shit for free. A lot of people don't just have $3,000 lying around if say the furnace shits the bed in February. Or $10,000 if the roof leaks.

Regardless of tcs bs (which Im not defending fyi), even the fact that he has a house invalidates what you said, which was already invalid to begin with because maturity has nothing to do with not wanting to be leeched off of by a landlord.

Cognitive Dissonance at work folks. Most people that deal with landlords dont have a choice.

You seriously need to check your privilege if you think anybody can just go buy a house.

Ffs I cant even get into an apartment i can afford the rent on because of arbitrary 3x income bullshit, how tf do you think Im gonna get a house.

TC doesn't have a house, my wording was bad there. He has, at least, a room. Which he presumably rents, thus his hatred for landlords.

So because you can't do it, let's upset the entire system that has worked literally forever and vilify an entire group of people, even though eliminating their role would actually make life worse for you since AGAIN the alternative is government housing? Have fun with that lol.

And you can fuck right off with your accusations of my "privelege". Nobody helped me beyond the loan I took out from the bank, and literally all I had to do was have a job, so so credit, and not be drowning in debt. I'm sorry that is such an unrealistic bar that you consider it to be "privilege".

Is there something stopping you from having so so credit, a job, and not being swamped in debt?

Like how are you guys not getting that without privately rented properties the housing market would be significantly worse?

Mostly, but it doesn't always work like that. They have the keys after all. Florida, for example, requires 12 hour notice, so they can drop off a notice at your doorstep in the evening and be there first thing in the morning. I've also heard from coworkers stories of their landlords and maintenance just barging in from time to time. Illegal, yes, but what are most renters going to do?

If your argument hinges on pretending that I only believe what I do because of my personal life, then youre not really here to argue fairly.

No, just no.

A landlord may be using the rent you pay them to pay off the loan they used to purchase the house they are renting you.

That is no different that any business using the money people pay them for goods and services to pay for the loans they used to start their businesses. A landlord's business is providing housing, and if they are doing their job well they will maintain that housing for the tenant.

You aren't entitled to partial ownership in someone's business just because you are a patron. You don't get to partially own the farm that grows your food, just because your dollars paid to that farmer help him pay for the debt he took out to fund his operation.

No, a landlord's business is owning housing that someone else built. They expect payment from tenants for the risky task of making an investment.

For poor people, they literally can't buy a house under any circumstances. It's not a choice for them, they don't qualify for the loans and they don't have the cash. So for someone in that situation, a service is not being provided, they're just paying to exist and have a roof over their heads. They're paying but not acquiring anything permanently, they're just giving over their money and potential savings to add to another party's potential savings.

Can people at least admit this or explain why it's wrong, for the poor?

If you guys want to preserve the rental market for the people who are renting for convenience, then here's the compromise: we can bring back renting when every man, woman, and child has adequate, safe, secure, and permanent housing. Until then, landlording is by necessity exploitation.

If the landlord was also the builder, then of course they should be compensated for their labor. No one is arguing otherwise. The issue is that landlords don't provide a service - they charge money for owning something. As such they are leeches.
Similarly, a landlord who is performing custodial duties should be paid for the service they provide. Owning something is not providing a service. Demanding payment because you own control means of shelter (a basic human right) is exploitative.

It's... not? Well, a hotel charging guests generally also includes services such as cleaning and sometimes meals. But apart from that, it's not really different. Not sure what I said that made you think I think that.

So do you have an issue with those other situations?

Also, ensuring access to housing for all is something the government needs to (and *should*) implement. Until then, landlords are going to be a thing

OK, so lets say we give housing to individuals for free.

first, from where? The government? No thanks.
they have no incentive to keep up with the property and the amount theyd have to maintain. States like NY can barely run their cities. Forget about housing - and whatever public housing they do create good luck getting into.

second, ok the government steps in and gives you housing. What of utilities? Gas, water, electric? The house is one piece of the puzzle, what about the things needed to make it a hospitable environment? Government again? Now you have to contract out to utility companies.

third, maintenance. The government would have to give contracts out to contractors for repairs. And guess what? Those contracts will be bloated bureaucratic messes. Ive been/worked in NYC public housing and its absolutely filthy and decrepit. And all the residents say they have to wait on repairmen because the supervisor in charge of maintenance has to get approval first.

giving everyone housing for free sounds great, then you actually break down everything else that goes along with it.

one thing Ill say is that slumlords need to be held to the highest degree of law for being pieces of shit. Good landlords exist.

And I'm well aware landlords "are going to be a thing". It's not like I expect them all to collectively log onto GameFAQs, read my posts and then go "huh, you know what, he's right, I'll reform all my property to collectively owned housing"

Im just saying, focus your energy on getting housing guaranteed to all, not on crying that citizens should be responsible for providing it

OK, so lets say we give housing to individuals for free.
You seem to be completely misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that landlords are exploitative and should be abolished. I'm not making a detailed policy proposal for how to do that.
I'm also not saying that maintenance, utilities, etc should be free. Upkeep and custodianship are services that should be fairly compensated. Owning a property is not a service.

This isnt an attack but what does that have to do with the question of landlording? It is unfair for someone to extort the profit of anothers labor.
I am absolutely shocked to see you once again making an anti-landlord topic and then refusing to acknowledge that there are people who choose to rent for various situations and your "abolish property ownership" shit really screws those people.

Lol, wtf do you know about where I'm "focusing my energy"? I came into this topic and said that landlords are exploitative, and as a response, you condescendingly suggest where I should direct my activism. Let me ask you this: Do you think landlords are exploitative? Only answer if you feel you can spare the energy from your normally very impactful activism

Then her and her mother go and get a brand new car (not even used, literally brand new), and then all of a sudden I have to fork over an extra $400/mo in "rent" money


if that came to happen i flat out telling her no... cant spend what one doesn't have then proceed to fuck it up for everyone else.
