Krampus should the entire US healthcare industry.
I see Luigi isn’t on the naughty list. Based Santa.
No wonder coal as a fossil fuel isn’t going away. The rich folk get so much during Christmas!
Forgot the health insurance company CEOs.
Many of my landlords were pretty decent people who actually cared about their tenants tho.
Don’t forget how many apartment buildings are owned by corporate landlords though. Western Canada has a huuuge problem with the slumlord billionaires at Mainstreet and others.
The out-of-date data I can find has 35% of BC apartments as investor-owned.
I guess that’s likely the difference. With the big company owned apartments you usually deal with a super intendant or building manager instead of the landlord directly. So the renter is seen as a faceless number rather than an actual person to the owners you are paying money to. There’s a lack of empathy towards the renter.
Stole whose money? My money? My stove broke, they replaced it, pest issue, they paid for the exterminator, roof leaking, they paid for it to be fixed, many other examples but you get the idea. I didn’t pay utilities in some places. I’ve had bad landlords and I moved house because of them and didn’t do them any favours when I left. The good ones I made sure I was a good tenant for. I think a lot of renters don’t understand how expensive owning a place is with upkeep. We wouldn’t be able to replace a furnace or roof repair and all that jazz in our income bracket.
Landlords buy an essential good just so they can squeeze money out of their renters. Housing should never be seen as an investment, yet these parasites do.
Are you suggesting landlords make zero profit off of the property?
The money we put in is more than the cost of the exterminator, roof not-leaking, many other examples but you get the idea.
