Don't know what kind of landlord this guy is speaking of but landlords in the modern time are usually required to repair the house. I would say that they have to pay taxes on their home too but we all know that getting taxed is always going to be pushed down to the lowest little guy as much as that is possible.

The point, is good, but the commas, are not.

landed aristocracy of the 19th century was very often /lit/ and /sci/, prior to that as feudal lords they were required to defend their king's country in an event of war

The real problem right now is that landlords are shifting their own financial insecurity onto their tenants, which is incomprehensibly retarded. They are one of the most non-productive and socially damaging classes of people. Irresponsible mongs are getting what's coming to them

so when the government raises the taxes and so the landlords raise your rent you blame the landlord's rather than the government. I think renting is evil but with the way things are not everyone can afford a home and so they must rent.

"Required to" doesn't mean they will, or that anything will happen to them if they don't

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying landlords who depend on their renters as their sole source of income and are too fiscally irresponsible to have an emergency fund (despite expecting renters to have at least 3 months worth of rent in savings in case of unemployment/redundancy) are hypocritical parasites. What's the expression? People living in glass houses shouldn't build on top of a house of cards... or something

>If only statesmen had been compelled to study the laws of Compound Interest, the fate of the whole human race might have been very different. ... [T]wo serious conditions began to develop. The first was the decline not merely of the aristocracy but, little by little, of all values that could not be correlated with pounds, shillings, and pence. The age of mechanized man was approaching. The new plutocracy and those of the old Whigs who were naturally perverse began their final and terrible offensive against the old country gentlemen. ... They were subjected to numerous mercantile blood transfusions until they had to undergo the final humiliation of accepting Jewish sons-in-law to save the ground to which they pathetically clung.
William Joyce

>The enemy is Das Leihkapital. Your Enemy is Das Leihkapital, international, wandering loan Capital. Your enemy is not Germany, your enemy is money on loan. And it would be better for you to be infected with typhus, and dysentery, and Bright's disease, than to be infected with this blindness which prevents you from understanding HOW you are undermined, how you are ruined.
Ezra Pound

I remember when my family rented out a house of a deceased family member. The guy punched holes in the walls. He acted like the house was his even though he didn't want to pay rent. He tried to take advantage of older women. They ended up selling that house. So landlords do have some risk to take.

Landlords, by virtue, rely on the renters for income -- that's the nature of their niche; as much as a rental-storage place relies on people renting space to store things for income. However, IF the landlord is so irresponsible that they have no emergency funds, then, yes, they shouldn't be punishing their renters for their mismanagement.

While it is true that landlords do have to take on a fair amount of risk, that comes with the responsibility of adequately screening tenants so things like this don't happen. I appreciate that it can be difficult to predict if your tenant is going to be an entitled psycho who throws infantile temper-tantrums, but I am surprised there were no prior indictors to clue your family in to this whatsoever.

Meanwhile Americans get excited for a $1200 check while the Fed already burned through that amount per person many times over to save the bankers and corporations. They privatize the gains and socialize the losses then expect you to be grateful for whatever crumbs fall to your plate and the can gets kicked down the road.

I suppose that they were inexperienced. or since they were women they may have been more likely to be compassionate to more people. Responsibility in life is almost certainly required, even if you just pass it on to someone else. You can save a lot of resources by passing your responsibility to someone else. Some humans found it to be a very effective strategy. Some landlords discover that when they don't fix the home they rent out that tenents move out or make something bad happen.

>Owner panic-sells the apartment building to the bank
>All tennants are forced to pay through a big lawyer firm
>Evicted and processed in trial
This is the most likely outcome and either way, they lose.

You say that like its a bad thing. Let it all burn.

You'll have to excuse people writing with quills for making a lot of pauses in their writing. They didn't have as much liberty to easily compose and revise multiple drafts, I would imagine.
