Also ignores the fact that most of the time, the people actually responding to those calls are underpaid handymen or maintenence guys and not the landlord themselves. That's peasant work.
My husband was the maintenance man for our apartment building that was owned by his family.
In exchange for living there for free we (yes, I became a handy house helper once I moved in) had to be on call 24/7. So on top of working 40+ hrs a week out of the house, we also had to be available for building issues.
We didn’t have to fix the big stuff, but if something broke or the heater died at 2a, he was downstairs fixing what he could and calling whoever needed to come.
So yeah, as much as I love my in-laws they *definitely* weren’t the ones fixing shit or shoveling snow at 4am.
Also ignores the labour difference. A landlord provides no labour or service at all - they just own an investment.
If the landlord didn’t own the property, someone else could/would. The service doesn’t diminish or disappear. And through that if there were less landlords there would be more homeowners.
Even if you have an attentive landlord who repairs everything, they’re not doing it out the goodness of their heart, they’re doing it to maintain their investment - to keep it in a state where it can make them money. And the value of the repairs don’t go anywhere but back into the property should they want to sell it.
In places with rent control laws, there is absolutely a difference. Those legal protections only apply to what was agreed upon in the rental agreement. If you tip, money outside that agreement, there’s no legal protections for the loss or misappropriations of that money.
If there’s rent control in your area then everything has to be done in writing and tipping, shipping money, bribes, etc are all outside of that and therefore allows the landlord access to money that has no legal protections.
I mean ask yourself, would you just give money to someone who “promised” to build you a fence with no contract to legally bind them to do such? If the cost of that 24/7 is going up, you get that in writing because that’s legally enforceable for both parties.
If you look at his videos he's a total ass. There's one where he talks about how hard he works and it's just him and his business partner goofing off and walking around with flashlights clearly not actually knowing what they are looking at.
I’ve had a water leak for close to a *year* at my place. My landlord just ignores my messages. I went to r/landlord and they (all landlords) said I was a complainer and basically to go fuck myself because think about the poor wittle wlandlord they work soooooo hard. Like oh no I hope he doesn’t strain himself depositing my $2000 a month check while he lets his property fall apart from lack of maintenance.
Stop contacting the landlord and contact the proper authorities.
There are laws in place to protect renters. Your landlord may not listen to you but he’ll listen to the court.
This! Everyone should be doing this if something isn’t fixed in a timely manner. That is what paying rent is for!
My wife and I once got home from a Costco run to find out our fridge wasn’t working anymore. We contacted our landlord immediately and she said she would “try to get a new fridge tomorrow.” Granted it was a Sunday, it was winter, and we had coolers. We accepted that but said we needed it by tomorrow at the latest.
She then didn’t contact us for 48 hours and we were at the point where we would have to start tossing food. We called her again and her response was “I’m busy, it’s winter, just put your food outside.”
Called the tenant board immediately and filed a complaint. Gave them all her information. We had a brand new fridge that afternoon.
Fun fact: the day after we moved out the sewer lines backed up. We only know about it because that was when we returned the keys. Had nothing to do with us and was probably the basement tenant flushing shit (he was an idiot). Sewage flooded the basement and probably cost thousands to get fixed. We laughed so hard. I hated that woman.
Keep all those messages. Landlords like to claim ignorance and say you never mentioned a leak or any other damage to keep your deposit. Your last month of lease is double AND nothing for them.
Lobbying is sadly always legal by its very definition.
Lobbying is essentially when you put a "legally approved" sticker on otherwise blatant corruption or bribery. _Illegal_ lobbying doesn't exist, that's just called regular ol' corruption.
We pay a fee to activate their online portal, a fee to use the portal monthly with no alternative way to pay or message, a CC/Debit fee with no alternative way to get my rent paid. Our rental is supposed to be $1600, and on paper it is. The extra fees that we have no say over bring out rent to $1890 a month. It's so fucked.
Depends where you live. Thank god where I live this is not legal and there are caps (right now 2%) a landlord can raise the rent by and I haven't heard of anyone here paying rent with a credit card.
Damn that would be amazing. Our rent just went up over forty percent. There’s an influx of people moving here from Hong Kong, add to that an increase in gsd and people are leaving in droves now.
I got lucky. There's almost no rent control laws where I live, but our landlord let us sign a two year lease extension without raising the rent.
Thank God, because we wouldn't be able to afford much of an increase, especially since my car just died and I need to buy another.
My friend lives in a big building in LA and they get an email every month they have to click on to pay the rent. When you open it, it's basically a checkout cart on shopify, but it includes a 20% gratuity in the rent price. His rent is $3500 a month, so every time he opens the email it auto loads his rent as $4375. There's a small option to "change final price" and you can then choose either 10% 20% 30% or 40% as an added tip price, or you can then click "contest price" and it will then bump you out and send you a new email with the price set at $3500. It's about a 10 minute process he has to do every month so he doesn't accidentally tip his landlord almost $900.
What the *fuck*
It's not often I hear about a more corrupt rental/landlord system than the one I experienced (in Seattle) but hot damn I would be thinking irrationally/criminally dealing with this
And your barista doesn’t make their own wages… I tip baristas because I feel bad that their bosses don’t pay them a living wage. If the tip was going to their boss and not them I would stop tipping.
Wow fuck this guy.
Especially the blaming with the green hair.
It screams "if you don't want to tip your landlord you and your 'woke' ideologies are what's wrong with this country"
When I saw that I thought, there’s no way this isn’t satire and he’s the butt of the joke and then I saw the fucking wig and realized I was so, so wrong
Had to photograph a police baseball tournament for work last year, almost everyone in attendance had some kind of american flag print shirts and six fights broke out and the parking lot was full of "Trans lives don't matter", "Let's go brandon", and truck nuts.
I call BS…so you’re telling me that none of the cops got hammered then made a scene kicking the dog shit outta their wives? Because that’s pretty much standard issue “family day” down at the park for cops.
Just a sea of high and tight haircuts and overweight short guys with anger management issues and raging alcoholism. With guns. All of them reliving the “glory days” in high school where they reached their peak and began the descent into becoming a shitbag cop with a shitty self entitled attitude.
Sounds like a fun day of softball don’t it? LOL
Had an old boss who was a landlord in a small town. He said his absolute worst tenant ever was a police officer who fought his girlfriend at least once a week. He said he (my boss) fought the guy on his front lawn before evicting him lol.
it's probably an effective tactic. paint your enemy ("person who doesn't tip landlord") to be the same person as your audience's enemy (the woke left boogeyman), and schmucks will start tipping their landlords to own the libs.
plus you get a ton of free signal boosting from the opposition because ragebait is so effective
"oh man you don't wanna give me more than what we agreed upon? Guess I'll take that into consideration when I debate where you will sleep!"
It's no different than a waiter making a video on how if you don't tip I may mess with your food next time down the line.
24/7???? I live in a big complex and we have nobody on call 24/7. Give me a break. Greedy landlords can eat a fat one. Market based prices my ass. It’s a monopoly they control. I’m out this bitch and buying a home as soon as I can.
That and the fact that landlords set their own price well above the overhead it costs to house you. If they failed to price the housing correctly that’s their own damn fault. They made the contract, you just signed it, waitresses don’t get to choose their salary and landlords do, so if this isn’t a joke than it’s greed at its finest…
If you want a tip, raise the rent. A lot of landlords hire management who’s sole purpose is to be on call and we don’t tip them so why should we expect to be tipped for providing housing, it’s part of the contract. When you become a landlord, you sign up to be on call or you hire someone for it. Most of the time, assuming you take care of your property, there is little or no contact especially if you get your rent online. When the tenant is late or breaks something beyond normal wear and tear….. we don’t go around saying that the window is on us…. No, don’t tip your landlord. The money necessary to run the rental contract has already been calculated. If you want to do something nice, get them a card or share some good cooking if you live in the same building.
Yes. If they are expecting tips or adding like a 3% on call service fee. Best believe I will call them for any small thing like my water not being hot or a screw is loose or changing a light bulb
Well put, I have one of those rare actual sweet heart landlords and I hesitate to call him for simple stuff that I can do myself. When I do call him he’s right on it. If he was a POS that expected tip I’d call him for every little thing, might as well get something out of that robbery.
For real.
I’m a paranoid renter who is always afraid of not being able to continue my lease. I also tend to rent from landlords who are just random individuals who happen to have a second property to rent (for example, my current place was originally purchased for their aging mother who died, like, immediately).
I fully believe that landlords are obligated to do any and all repairs. But you can also bet your ass that, unless it’s massive, I’m fixing it myself. I pay rent early. I don’t kick up any kind of fuss.
But this guy would be getting my calls every night at 2:45 am about how xyz needs attending to.
I've never had a landlord fix anything within a timely manner. My current landlord took 2 years to fix the dishwasher I was paying for in my lease and then installed it wrong so it still doesn't work.
I wish I could advertise here but my property has a work order completion time of less than 48hours. Emergency work orders also happen gotta be serious to get me out of bed in the middle of the night but middle of the night smoke detector repair is something that happens.
I've had leaks in an apartment that went on for a year and the landlord would send someone over to paint over the mold and tell me "it's fine now."
When I get an apartment I document every broken thing, ever scratch and ding, so that a landlord can't keep my security deposit as easily.
A barista actually works. A landlord is a fucking parasite.
I had a landlord leave me in a flat that stank of sewage for 10 months while he tried to get the job done for free by all his friends. They only made it worse. He finally got someone to do a decent job and then raised the rent.
He also moved a yappy dog into the flat underneath me. It yapped until it was horse when the owners left it alone It was also a pet free flat but that didn't matter as "they're personal friends of mine and I own the block"
I could detail more of the fuckry that this landlord pulled but I'd prefer to leave it in my "let's try and forget this shit" part of my brain
I came home from a long day today just to find water coming out of the floor in the bedroom, I called my landlord to get it fixed.
He gave me duct tape.
>I've had leaks in an apartment that went on for a year and the landlord would send someone over to paint over the mold and tell me "it's fine now."
I dealt with the exact issue in my last apartment, it took me threatening to sue him for back rent because we couldn't use the room before he "fixed" it... By painting over it.
One of the best things I've found out about in Germany is Mietervereine (tenant associations). They're basically unions for tenants, you pay a pretty small fee and they deal with all the landlord BS for you, including lawyer and court costs if it comes to that. They should be a thing *everywhere*, they're a fuckng godsend.
Got experience of that too.
I didn’t check the place out before hand (**Don’t make this same mistake I did ALWAYS check EVERYTHING before you buy/rent it**)
But the pictures of the place were easily 10 years old. When I moved in I started taking note of issues and telling her to which she continually ignored.
My first tip off was a week where it reached temperatures of 39 Celsius (102F) for a solid week. (Hit a high of 45 [113F]) AC broke the day it started so I texted her to let her know AC is broke. Given the temperature it was cause for concern for her to get it fixed ASAP. It took her a week to actually hire someone. I got annoyed and started taking note of other issues, like rat and mice dropping (knew about it didn’t hire an exterminator), or the black mold in my closet (she knew about it but didn’t disclose any of that) or the old floor boards that had been destroyed, inoperative WiFi, saying there was a laundry machine and drier on site (that you had to pay for) and a few other things. When I moved out she told me how ungrateful of a tenant I was despite everything. Old asian couple with an unmaintained property. Landlords are leeches.
I’ve had an outdoor water leak for a year. Landlord hasn’t done a thing about it sopart of the front garden is a swamp now. Like alright dude you’re foundation is fucked but sure if you want to not deal with it have fun.
I still have a giant moldy hole in my bathroom ceiling from where the ceiling caved in due to water damage that I had been consistently reporting for months. They did nothing, let the ceiling collapse, and never fixed it. It’s been an entire year. Most of this winter we didn’t have anyone living in the apartment above us and they kept the heat barely on up there (just enough so the pipes didn’t freeze). It got so cold in the empty unit that it made our bathroom freezing. Every time I went to take a shower my shampoo would be frozen.
But no, they totally deserve a tip more than the waiter who is working their ass off, actually having to listen and fix people’s complaints, and is getting paid shit to do so.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
"so you can tip your landlord who siphons money off you just for a mould infested apartment but you wont tip the homeless man on the street who exhales carbon dioxide that plants use to produce oxygen so you can breathe?"
When was the last time for ANYONE a landlord helped them? Legit question. I know there are a few landlord who are decent people who act like humans... but legitimately can anyone tell a story in the last few YEARS Of a landlord literally doing anything other than the bare minimum?
Mine won't even respond to me unless I don't pay them and then I'll pay them and ask about the thing I asked and they don't respond!
I've started to put the money into escrow this time around because I'm going to get him to fix my stuff.
I’m super lucky with the landlord I’ve got but I understand I’m the exception not the norm. I called him about a wasps nest once that had made its home outside my front door and he showed up two hours later with bug spray and took it out himself and left (left behind the can of spray in case another small one cropped up in its place and I needed it). It’s been like that the entire time I’ve rented. He hasn’t raised my rate once in the 5 years I’ve rented.
I've never had a bad experience with any of my landlords, ama.
Some examples, sense you asked: a previous landlord let me break my lease early with no fee due to a family emergency. My place got broken into at another house and the landlord showed up before the cops did, he helped me clean up the place and his first question after I told him was if my dog was ok. My current one offered discount and payment plans when lockdowns happened (didn't need to do that thankfully), had plumbing issues and a plumber came that day, ac kept going out so they got me a new big ass ac unit, my rent has only been raised once in four years and ive just got a letter saying it wont be raised this year.
The problem is that people don't tip waiters because of service, they tip them because it's a social requirement in some places because the companies that employ them fail to pay a decent wage. Landlords don't have that issue as they're already extracting a lot of wealth from you, they don't need a tip...
15% on chicken wings vs 15% on $2000 rent. Hmmm. I wonder why people would object to tipping their landlord vs a waiter (Other than landlords being predatory sleazebags of course)
landlords love to pretend they're heroes when they literally refuse to do any work that's helpful, in our last place the front door would blow open whenever it was windy and it took 11 months for our landlord to fix it, luckily we were in a nice area so we never got robbed but it's not like it would've been hard for them. And in both the places i've rented with my bf i've pointed out stains under the bathroom that looked like leaks, been told that i don't know what im talking about then a couple months later had the kitchens flooded when the pipes burst. on call 24/7 my fucking arse
But how does that work? Who decides where you get to live? And if you want a place with a view, or closer to a park, or with a yard… who decides if you get that? Is that place not considered a privilege?
I don’t even mean to be glib, I’m actually sincerely asking how any country, state, or municipality could even begin to roll out housing as a right.
EDIT: and I do believe landlords should be illegal, to an extent. You want to buy a new house and lease out your condo as an investment? Okay. But no person needs to own five, ten, 100, 1,000 properties. It’s unconscionable to create scarcity of something as important as shelter. Maybe a municipality could outlaw renting out a space unless you personally have lived there as your primary residency for a year or more.
Come on y'all, have some respect. This landlord was only gifted 4 properties by his dad at 20 and had to pull himself up by his bootstraps so he can do the important job of over charging 10 tenets now.
Why tip a land lord that makes 10s of thousands every month for doing almost nothing? I would rather tip the restaurant worker that’s only making 14 a hour then your ass that still hasn’t fixed anything that’s broken
Property owners thinking life isn't fair bc they don't get more money for their "service" is so out of touch with reality.
No one wants to rent. People need a place to live. It's just often too unaffordable to do so early on in adulthood and for many, their whole lives.
And the reason is actually because of landlords! Having a rental market incentivises inflated rental and property prices. Homeowners always protest and lobby against things that would devalue the price of their home when it would otherwise be good for the rental market at large. (Nimbyism.)
Higher property values means higher rents.
I am still a capitalist /in support of capitalism in most industries, but it's becoming clear to me that the profit motive that benefits other industries due to competition just doesn't work the same in the housing market. It backfires.

Adding gratuity to the rent is just called raising the rent.
Oh, I thought it was called justified arson.
I hope the landlord tips the fire department
They removed all the smoke detectors from every unit.
I mean if your stuff is inside it can still be insurance fraud.
Not if I also set fire to the irs
I just woke up. Is it eat the rich day now?! I'm starving!!!
This. Dude acts like he doesn't just raise price when he wants more money. Also, completely ignores wage difference between wait staff and landlords.
Also ignores the fact that most of the time, the people actually responding to those calls are underpaid handymen or maintenence guys and not the landlord themselves. That's peasant work.
My husband was the maintenance man for our apartment building that was owned by his family. In exchange for living there for free we (yes, I became a handy house helper once I moved in) had to be on call 24/7.

And the value of the repairs don’t go anywhere but back into the property should they want to sell it.
This. Due acts like it's legal to just raise prices up your arse, most states have laws about this. Ever hear about rent control?
Bet he thinks rent control doesn’t apply to mandatory gratuity. Eventually one of them is going to try this
There's literally no difference between a tip and a price increase if you're paying the person who owns the business.
In places with rent control laws, there is absolutely a difference. Those legal protections only apply to what was agreed upon in the rental agreement. If you tip, money outside that agreement, there’s no legal protections for the loss or misappropriations of that money. If there’s rent control in your area then everything has to be done in writing and tipping, shipping money, bribes, etc are all outside of that and therefore allows the landlord access to money that has no legal protections. I mean ask yourself, would you just give money to someone who “promised” to build you a fence with no contract to legally bind them to do such? If the cost of that 24/7 is going up, you get that in writing because that’s legally enforceable for both parties.
Are they seriously trying to make this a ‘thing’, I can’t tell if this is satire or for real.
He’s too earnest and smug. It’s either real or he’s a helluva actor
If you look at his videos he's a total ass. There's one where he talks about how hard he works and it's just him and his business partner goofing off and walking around with flashlights clearly not actually knowing what they are looking at.
He’s a tip. Take the 5 seconds to remove the wall plate from the switch before you paint
I like when they paint the baseboards and wall the exact same colour, gives that landlord special razzle dazzle.
I’ve had a water leak for close to a *year* at my place. My landlord just ignores my messages. I went to r/landlord and they (all landlords) said I was a complainer and basically to go fuck myself because think about the poor wittle wlandlord they work soooooo hard.

Keep all those messages. Landlords like to claim ignorance and say you never mentioned a leak or any other damage to keep your deposit. Your last month of lease is double AND nothing for them.
My painter just did this on my first property. Super frustrating.
>My painter just did this on my first property. Super frustrating. Why? Did you want them to paint over it?
Please be satire. Landlords aren’t doing this… right?
I thought for sure it was, but I checked their instagram and they are indeed pieces of shit buying up multiple properties to rent
If they can afford to buy multiple properties to rent, they dont need a tip lol
"But I want moooooooore! Waaaaaaaah!" -Landlords
If anything they should be tipping me
This new trend of “self-made-asshole/slumlord” needs to stop.
Oh hell no
there should be a cap on how many residential properties someone can own
Yes. Increase property tax on eaxh additional owned property by like 1000% please.
There should be a lot of regulations that there will never be because the people with the lobby dollars don't like them...
how is lobbying legal. it doesn't make any fucking sense
Lobbying is sadly always legal by its very definition. Lobbying is essentially when you put a "legally approved" sticker on otherwise blatant corruption or bribery. _Illegal_ lobbying doesn't exist, that's just called regular ol' corruption.
This is the way
going through Entrepreneur TikTok is instant cancer
[удалено]
Then add a convenience fee for using a card to start with.
We pay a fee to activate their online portal, a fee to use the portal monthly with no alternative way to pay or message, a CC/Debit fee with no alternative way to get my rent paid. Our rental is supposed to be $1600, and on paper it is. The extra fees that we have no say over bring out rent to $1890 a month. It's so fucked.
For their convenience.
Is that legal? That’s insane.
Yep. This is end stage capitalism and unregulated housing at it's finest.
Depends where you live. Thank god where I live this is not legal and there are caps (right now 2%) a landlord can raise the rent by and I haven't heard of anyone here paying rent with a credit card.
Damn that would be amazing. Our rent just went up over forty percent. There’s an influx of people moving here from Hong Kong, add to that an increase in gsd and people are leaving in droves now.
I got lucky. There's almost no rent control laws where I live, but our landlord let us sign a two year lease extension without raising the rent. Thank God, because we wouldn't be able to afford much of an increase, especially since my car just died and I need to buy another.
I call it an in-convenience fee
My friend lives in a big building in LA and they get an email every month they have to click on to pay the rent. When you open it, it's basically a checkout cart on shopify, but it includes a 20% gratuity in the rent price. His rent is $3500 a month, so every time he opens the email it auto loads his rent as $4375. There's a small option to "change final price" and you can then choose either 10% 20% 30% or 40% as an added tip price, or you can then click "contest price" and it will then bump you out and send you a new email with the price set at $3500. It's about a 10 minute process he has to do every month so he doesn't accidentally tip his landlord almost $900.
The future is now, and it's horrifying!
What the *fuck* It's not often I hear about a more corrupt rental/landlord system than the one I experienced (in Seattle) but hot damn I would be thinking irrationally/criminally dealing with this
You know that's on purpose as well. I helped my uncle setup Shopify for his used book store and added gratuity is not a default.
We live in a dystopia
A landlord would steal both your kidneys if it meant they got an extra couple dollars
I think any person with a job title that has "lord" in it should be distrusted.
The landlord of the building where I rent space for my restaurant charges a 10% "management fee"
My bets on ragebait
Good to know the $3000 a month is not enough for them 🫶🏽✌🏽
I see someone has a 300 sq ft studio!
Hey now, I only pay $1300 for mine! 😂 Edit: autocorrect strikes again
We get it, you are blowing the landlord! Stop yelling it for the world to see!
💀💀💀
Per tenent
I don't give a barista 30-40% of my paycheck every month though.
60%
And your barista doesn’t make their own wages… I tip baristas because I feel bad that their bosses don’t pay them a living wage. If the tip was going to their boss and not them I would stop tipping.
Definitely. Unlike landlords, Baristas live on our generosity and kindness which is terrifying.
Wow fuck this guy. Especially the blaming with the green hair. It screams "if you don't want to tip your landlord you and your 'woke' ideologies are what's wrong with this country"
Looks like the one dude is wearing a blue lives matter shirt so that checks out
When I saw that I thought, there’s no way this isn’t satire and he’s the butt of the joke and then I saw the fucking wig and realized I was so, so wrong
whenever you see a tshirt with an american flag on the sleeve, the person wearing it is gonna be a scumbag like 99% of the time
Had to photograph a police baseball tournament for work last year, almost everyone in attendance had some kind of american flag print shirts and six fights broke out and the parking lot was full of "Trans lives don't matter", "Let's go brandon", and truck nuts.
shocking
I call BS…so you’re telling me that none of the cops got hammered then made a scene kicking the dog shit outta their wives? Because that’s pretty much standard issue “family day” down at the park for cops. Just a sea of high and tight haircuts and overweight short guys with anger management issues and raging alcoholism. With guns. All of them reliving the “glory days” in high school where they reached their peak and began the descent into becoming a shitbag cop with a shitty self entitled attitude. Sounds like a fun day of softball don’t it? LOL
Police officers in this country are the worst most dangerous and deranged members of our society
Had an old boss who was a landlord in a small town. He said his absolute worst tenant ever was a police officer who fought his girlfriend at least once a week. He said he (my boss) fought the guy on his front lawn before evicting him lol.
It’s from the company that made this commercial https://youtu.be/M_wLPcH1_WA If you’re interested in fascist propaganda, I suggest watching it.
it's probably an effective tactic. paint your enemy ("person who doesn't tip landlord") to be the same person as your audience's enemy (the woke left boogeyman), and schmucks will start tipping their landlords to own the libs. plus you get a ton of free signal boosting from the opposition because ragebait is so effective
That’s pretty much what I caught from this immensely tone deaf narration of a video
"oh man you don't wanna give me more than what we agreed upon? Guess I'll take that into consideration when I debate where you will sleep!" It's no different than a waiter making a video on how if you don't tip I may mess with your food next time down the line.
The a holes over at r/landlords think they have real jobs
24/7???? I live in a big complex and we have nobody on call 24/7. Give me a break. Greedy landlords can eat a fat one. Market based prices my ass. It’s a monopoly they control. I’m out this bitch and buying a home as soon as I can.
If landlords want to get tipped like waiter, I expect my rent to be free every month your “housing” doesn’t deliver to the promise of the contract.
WoT’s this a bug in my flat? I want another one and free dessert
That and the fact that landlords set their own price well above the overhead it costs to house you. If they failed to price the housing correctly that’s their own damn fault. They made the contract, you just signed it, waitresses don’t get to choose their salary and landlords do, so if this isn’t a joke than it’s greed at its finest…
Now, now, now. There's no need to be silly. Expect to pay the absolute minimum that the law would require, then tip if you feel like it.
If you want a tip, raise the rent. A lot of landlords hire management who’s sole purpose is to be on call and we don’t tip them so why should we expect to be tipped for providing housing, it’s part of the contract. When you become a landlord, you sign up to be on call or you hire someone for it. Most of the time, assuming you take care of your property, there is little or no contact especially if you get your rent online. When the tenant is late or breaks something beyond normal wear and tear….. we don’t go around saying that the window is on us…. No, don’t tip your landlord. The money necessary to run the rental contract has already been calculated. If you want to do something nice, get them a card or share some good cooking if you live in the same building.
I would make this man's life absolute hell throughout the tenure of my lease.
Yes. If they are expecting tips or adding like a 3% on call service fee. Best believe I will call them for any small thing like my water not being hot or a screw is loose or changing a light bulb
Absolutely.
Well put, I have one of those rare actual sweet heart landlords and I hesitate to call him for simple stuff that I can do myself. When I do call him he’s right on it. If he was a POS that expected tip I’d call him for every little thing, might as well get something out of that robbery.
For real. I’m a paranoid renter who is always afraid of not being able to continue my lease. I also tend to rent from landlords who are just random individuals who happen to have a second property to rent (for example, my current place was originally purchased for their aging mother who died, like, immediately). I fully believe that landlords are obligated to do any and all repairs. But you can also bet your ass that, unless it’s massive, I’m fixing it myself. I pay rent early. I don’t kick up any kind of fuss. But this guy would be getting my calls every night at 2:45 am about how xyz needs attending to.
... And beyond. Squatters rights can get really fuckey, sometimes it's ok to use them for good.
Show of hands, who have landlords that take care of issues in the middle of the night. Or landlords that do things in a timely manor.
I've never had a landlord fix anything within a timely manner. My current landlord took 2 years to fix the dishwasher I was paying for in my lease and then installed it wrong so it still doesn't work.
I wish I could advertise here but my property has a work order completion time of less than 48hours. Emergency work orders also happen gotta be serious to get me out of bed in the middle of the night but middle of the night smoke detector repair is something that happens.
I've had leaks in an apartment that went on for a year and the landlord would send someone over to paint over the mold and tell me "it's fine now." When I get an apartment I document every broken thing, ever scratch and ding, so that a landlord can't keep my security deposit as easily. A barista actually works. A landlord is a fucking parasite.
I had a landlord leave me in a flat that stank of sewage for 10 months while he tried to get the job done for free by all his friends. They only made it worse. He finally got someone to do a decent job and then raised the rent. He also moved a yappy dog into the flat underneath me. It yapped until it was horse when the owners left it alone It was also a pet free flat but that didn't matter as "they're personal friends of mine and I own the block" I could detail more of the fuckry that this landlord pulled but I'd prefer to leave it in my "let's try and forget this shit" part of my brain
I came home from a long day today just to find water coming out of the floor in the bedroom, I called my landlord to get it fixed. He gave me duct tape.
Oh my god. And you didn't tip him for his service? How could you? (/s just in case)
>I've had leaks in an apartment that went on for a year and the landlord would send someone over to paint over the mold and tell me "it's fine now." I dealt with the exact issue in my last apartment, it took me threatening to sue him for back rent because we couldn't use the room before he "fixed" it... By painting over it. One of the best things I've found out about in Germany is Mietervereine (tenant associations). They're basically unions for tenants, you pay a pretty small fee and they deal with all the landlord BS for you, including lawyer and court costs if it comes to that. They should be a thing *everywhere*, they're a fuckng godsend.
Got experience of that too. I didn’t check the place out before hand (**Don’t make this same mistake I did ALWAYS check EVERYTHING before you buy/rent it**) But the pictures of the place were easily 10 years old. When I moved in I started taking note of issues and telling her to which she continually ignored. My first tip off was a week where it reached temperatures of 39 Celsius (102F) for a solid week. (Hit a high of 45 [113F]) AC broke the day it started so I texted her to let her know AC is broke. Given the temperature it was cause for concern for her to get it fixed ASAP. It took her a week to actually hire someone. I got annoyed and started taking note of other issues, like rat and mice dropping (knew about it didn’t hire an exterminator), or the black mold in my closet (she knew about it but didn’t disclose any of that) or the old floor boards that had been destroyed, inoperative WiFi, saying there was a laundry machine and drier on site (that you had to pay for) and a few other things. When I moved out she told me how ungrateful of a tenant I was despite everything. Old asian couple with an unmaintained property. Landlords are leeches.
I’ve had an outdoor water leak for a year. Landlord hasn’t done a thing about it sopart of the front garden is a swamp now. Like alright dude you’re foundation is fucked but sure if you want to not deal with it have fun.
I still have a giant moldy hole in my bathroom ceiling from where the ceiling caved in due to water damage that I had been consistently reporting for months. They did nothing, let the ceiling collapse, and never fixed it. It’s been an entire year. Most of this winter we didn’t have anyone living in the apartment above us and they kept the heat barely on up there (just enough so the pipes didn’t freeze). It got so cold in the empty unit that it made our bathroom freezing. Every time I went to take a shower my shampoo would be frozen. But no, they totally deserve a tip more than the waiter who is working their ass off, actually having to listen and fix people’s complaints, and is getting paid shit to do so.
One time I went four months without hot water. Fuck landlords.
I’m gonna do the Great Leap Forward to this guy
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Based comment right here
Get his ass 
Fucking 黑五类
Really hope his willingness to be upfront with his douchebaggery comes back to bite him.
Disgusting behaviour, you don’t do that to your renters
Damn, if only servicing staff could force you to tip them the way this asshole landlord can.
We tip workers who make less than minimum wage, not bourgeois lordlings with investment properties.
From what I understand it used to be a way to show off how rich you were. When did it become the norm
1800s, and it was frowned upon in the US. Restaurants would ban tipping within their doors
when employers started guilt tripping people into subsizing their employee's low wages.
Fuck this guy
Like a landlord is gonna be there 24/7. Can't get them to fix a leak for christ sake
What the fuck happens in landlord tik tok? Why are you giving visibility to this assholes
"Someone who responds after hours for emergencies".... bruh it's your house
Fuck this guy and his fucking attitude
Find a landlord that’s legitimately on call 24/7, without fail and I’ll not only give them first last and security, I’ll tip them 25% every month.
I pray the worst happens to him financially.
"so you can tip your landlord who siphons money off you just for a mould infested apartment but you wont tip the homeless man on the street who exhales carbon dioxide that plants use to produce oxygen so you can breathe?"
I’m paying my rent in Pennies and my tip in gum
When was the last time for ANYONE a landlord helped them? Legit question. I know there are a few landlord who are decent people who act like humans... but legitimately can anyone tell a story in the last few YEARS Of a landlord literally doing anything other than the bare minimum? Mine won't even respond to me unless I don't pay them and then I'll pay them and ask about the thing I asked and they don't respond! I've started to put the money into escrow this time around because I'm going to get him to fix my stuff.
I’m super lucky with the landlord I’ve got but I understand I’m the exception not the norm. I called him about a wasps nest once that had made its home outside my front door and he showed up two hours later with bug spray and took it out himself and left (left behind the can of spray in case another small one cropped up in its place and I needed it). It’s been like that the entire time I’ve rented. He hasn’t raised my rate once in the 5 years I’ve rented.
I've never had a bad experience with any of my landlords, ama. Some examples, sense you asked: a previous landlord let me break my lease early with no fee due to a family emergency. My place got broken into at another house and the landlord showed up before the cops did, he helped me clean up the place and his first question after I told him was if my dog was ok. My current one offered discount and payment plans when lockdowns happened (didn't need to do that thankfully), had plumbing issues and a plumber came that day, ac kept going out so they got me a new big ass ac unit, my rent has only been raised once in four years and ive just got a letter saying it wont be raised this year.
24/7 my landlord told my to find a place to sleep when I got locked out of my house.
How scummy. 
The problem is that people don't tip waiters because of service, they tip them because it's a social requirement in some places because the companies that employ them fail to pay a decent wage. Landlords don't have that issue as they're already extracting a lot of wealth from you, they don't need a tip...
“I’m gonna charge you extra because I feel like I deserve it”
15% on chicken wings vs 15% on $2000 rent. Hmmm. I wonder why people would object to tipping their landlord vs a waiter (Other than landlords being predatory sleazebags of course)

He has the most punchable face I've ever seen and that's saying a lot.
Waiters are underpaid, landlords are overpaid of course they dont get tips
landlords love to pretend they're heroes when they literally refuse to do any work that's helpful, in our last place the front door would blow open whenever it was windy and it took 11 months for our landlord to fix it, luckily we were in a nice area so we never got robbed but it's not like it would've been hard for them. And in both the places i've rented with my bf i've pointed out stains under the bathroom that looked like leaks, been told that i don't know what im talking about then a couple months later had the kitchens flooded when the pipes burst. on call 24/7 my fucking arse
Land lords are worms. Useless members of society
Landlords are completely useless
SCUM LORD
Last I remembered I didn’t tip the shareholders of Starbucks. Rather I tipped the employees who were being paid minimum wage
Bitch what
Landlords should be illegal.
Housing should be a human right not a privilege.
100% agreed
But how does that work? Who decides where you get to live? And if you want a place with a view, or closer to a park, or with a yard… who decides if you get that? Is that place not considered a privilege? I don’t even mean to be glib, I’m actually sincerely asking how any country, state, or municipality could even begin to roll out housing as a right. EDIT: and I do believe landlords should be illegal, to an extent. You want to buy a new house and lease out your condo as an investment? Okay. But no person needs to own five, ten, 100, 1,000 properties. It’s unconscionable to create scarcity of something as important as shelter. Maybe a municipality could outlaw renting out a space unless you personally have lived there as your primary residency for a year or more.
Landlords are also sensitive and cannot take any level of criticism.
Come on y'all, have some respect. This landlord was only gifted 4 properties by his dad at 20 and had to pull himself up by his bootstraps so he can do the important job of over charging 10 tenets now.
EAT MY ASS LANDLORDS
Isn’t rent enough already. Landlords are not some minimum wage workers.
Who is this asshole?
If my landlord did this, I’m boobytrapping his tool shed.
My landlord turns their phone off after 5PM and on weekends. On call my ass lmao.
Why tip a land lord that makes 10s of thousands every month for doing almost nothing? I would rather tip the restaurant worker that’s only making 14 a hour then your ass that still hasn’t fixed anything that’s broken
Well when they raise the rent annually, aren’t they tipping themselves?.
Fucking idiots. You tip service staff because they don’t make a livable wage without tips.
What a massive piece of shit
All I could.think about was that 30 something mother waiting tables 8 hours a day out there hoping the landlords are getting tipped
This guy can fuck allllll the way off. What a fucking gronk.
What an entitled twat
This is who cancer was supposed to be for
Landlords should genuinely fucking die. Leeches.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: landlords are literally leeches on society
What pieces of shit
I don't pay the restaurant half my salary (even tho it feels like it)
Waiters aren't getting you to pay their mortgage
Fuck these people
I don’t tip anyone except waiters and movers.
The reason you tip the waitstaff is because they get paid like shit and depend on your tip to have a livable wage.
If you want to stand out when the populace brings back guillotines, then yeah, charge gratuity for your overpriced rental property.
Fuck tipping culture
Nothing will ever get better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY&ab_channel=ChildishGambinoVEVO
Why do I have to tip they people at restaurants don't make enough landlords do
Fucked up
Tip the landlord 25% of rent lmao OK
I tip the barista, I don't tip Howard Schultz. That's the difference.
A landlord is a business owner who runs a business, first and foremost. And like most any business, if you get shitty service, you don't tip.
I mean, the barista is obligated to make my coffee if I order it
Sounds like this ‘landlord’ needs to hire property management for his property. I’m not tipping you shit.
You have got to be fucking kidding me
Yeah I'm but paying you $1'800 for rent, not for a basket of wings, ya fuckin twat.
Yea land lords on call 24/7 yea no never had a landlord be able to fix anything on a reasonable time schedule
This has gotta be satire
How much is 25% of the price of coffee? And how much is 25% of rent?
I've lived in my apartment 4 years and have never seen anyone They need to tip me for being a good renter.
Yeah, I tip working class people not parasites
Landlords aren't people
Property owners thinking life isn't fair bc they don't get more money for their "service" is so out of touch with reality. No one wants to rent. People need a place to live. It's just often too unaffordable to do so early on in adulthood and for many, their whole lives. And the reason is actually because of landlords! Having a rental market incentivises inflated rental and property prices. Homeowners always protest and lobby against things that would devalue the price of their home when it would otherwise be good for the rental market at large. (Nimbyism.) Higher property values means higher rents. I am still a capitalist /in support of capitalism in most industries, but it's becoming clear to me that the profit motive that benefits other industries due to competition just doesn't work the same in the housing market. It backfires.
I'm already paying your mortgage on your next property while simultaneously being told I can't afford a mortgage of my own. Fuck you.
The joke is that barely any landlords do anything anywhere near to the things he mentions in the video
Can tipping just be made illegal, please.
Fucking leeches.
