Landlords by and large also dont keep up on maintenence. If and when maintence is done, its usually by someone else who isn’t them. They don’t personally provide anything, and yet take 1/3 to half if not more of working peoples income, which is the problem we have with them.
That’s cool if the people you’ve rented from are different. I’m not saying that in a person to person, individual basis they are all bad people or anything, but as a class it needs to end
Oh for sure, as a class I agree with you.
Idk like anything you just have to be diligent I guess. I’ve been able to have have a positive outcome in my situation. But that’s me, and obviously not every one can be that lucky.
Because in some places renting is so much cheaper than buying it’s comical. Go look into rent vs prices of property and mortgages in London in the UK for example and then we can talk.
Renting can literally NEVER be cheaper than buying, because the landlord’s mortgage MUST be less than the rent you’re paying! If you’d had the option to buy the same place for what the landlord did, you’d be paying significantly less each month.
So what you mean is, landlords bought up all the cheap housing and all that’s left to buy is what they can’t bleed a profit out of.
I’m not telling them to buy a house. We were trying to point out that landlords are leeches who provide nothing of value and suck up large percentages of peoples income.
The hypothetical here is if you weren’t paying your landlord, you would have more money, because you’re already paying them amd now you’re not.
I’ve heard the real estate situation in London is particularly awful, even compared with other major cities where its also bad for similar reasons.

I don’t agree with that. Unless you want to give me money every time something happens to my home.
But you would save money if a landlord wasn’t leeching it from you because of your basuc human need for shelter
No I would not.
How would you have less money than you do now, if we removed what you pay in rent as an expense?

I’ve explained all of this already. Have a good one.
In fact, you never explained it. You’ve just repeatedly asserted it.
Does insurance count?
