I rented a house below market. They didn’t raise the rent the entire 3 years I was there. They said they’d rather have it rented to quality people longer than have people in and out chasing the highest rate. Best landlord I’ve had.
I rented out my house while I was working out of town, I had exactly the same attitude. I just wanted someone that wasn't going to trash the place, so I found someone that wasn't an asshole and gave them a deal for a few years.
I had another place years before that where I thought I was giving someone a similar deal and they paid me back by absolutely gutting the place, even pulled the copper plumbing out of the walls. Cost me tens of thousands even after insurance. I had trust issues after that bullshit.
I know Lemmy hates landlords, but the fucking shit I've seen from renters would stagger people's minds. Had a place where the kids wrote on all the walls with Sharpies and the carpet was covered with orange koolaid stains that wouldn't clean out, had to tear out all the carpets.
I knew a guy that rented a place to a RCMP and when he went in there one day to fix something, he found a stack of used diapers at the bottom of the basement stairs where they were tossing them for several weeks. Couldn't evict them for that, had to give full notice because the board sided with the cop.
Oh damn, I’ve never heard of someone gutting the house! That must’ve been quite the shock.
Yeah, there are assholes on both sides of the landlord tenant dealings.
I saw a reddit post once of a tenant complaining the landlord was withholding the damage deposit due to new stove top needed. The tenant was looking for sympathy and shared a photo of the stove top. It was the glass top style and looked like the tenant had claned it for a few years by scrubbing the surface with 40 grit sandpaper and used angle grinders on the baked on part.
A family member managed a low income building:
There were tenants who removed all the plastic switch plates and plug covers, and pulled all the baseboard and door jamb frames off.
One had a closet full of garbage and human feces. Toilet worked fine.
One had a water leak they never reported and the entire lower kitchen cabinets looked like it was being eaten by an alien tentecle creature made of black mold.
People just aren't well, whether its a tenant or a shitty money grabbing landlord
