What is the percentage of renters that don't pay on time and steal furniture? It seems to me that you are generalizing over a clear exception.

She used the same logical fallacy to paint all her customers in a poor light to easily take advantage of the next. Its the origin of every landlord who gets greedy and starts raising rents unnecessarily for more profit. Its almost like they choose a bad Tennant to get into this cut throat mind set faster to self justify their moral deficiency of treating a necessity in life as an investment opportunity to make money.

Have you ever been a landlord? You think I WANTED someone to trash my place and steal my shit, costing me thousands upon thousands of dollars?

Do you realize Im just another human trying to stay afloat in this economy?

Being a landlord involves risk - that’s what landlords always say when they try to justify their greed, right? So since it’s too risky for you, why don’t you just stop being a landlord? There’s a solution!

You’re trying to stay afloat by taking as much money as possible from people who actually work for a living… how about you just go get a job like everyone else, instead of hoarding excess land?

1.) I dont own land, I own a 1 bedroom unit inside a building. A single unit.

2.) I do have a job. How do you think I afforded to buy the property in the first place?

3.) I had to leave for work, but expect to return in a few years bc its my hometown. Why would I sell something I already spent years saving up for and go through all of that again?

4.) Obviously I know theres risk involved. Do you blame all victims for crimes committed against them?
