    Back in 2019 I needed to move across the country on very short notice. It didn’t leave me any time to sell my house. A friend of mine was getting absolutely screwed on rental payments, so I did some math, and offered to rent it to them at a rate that just barely covered the mortgage and taxes. It was SIGNIFICANTLY below market rate, and significantly less than he was currently paying.

    I guess that makes me a parasite.

      you’re surely aware that your situation is the exception rather than the rule

        Doesn’t matter, according to hexbear he still has to die, “he should have gifted the house to his friend rather than become a slum lord” and all.

          He should at least let the friend own however much equity in the house they helped pay with their rent payment, to be paid out when the house is sold
