"Fix my AC!"
Particularly ironic that this is being framed as "unreasonable" because landlords themselves directly argue that their upkeep of the house justifies the significant upcharge they take from tenants. Like, even if we argued that landlord as a career is 100% acceptable and valid, that would literally be your job, would be like a professional chef complaining about people saying "make me food!"
Had a cook who literally complained about receiving too many different kinds of orders and the customers were not even in a hurry
McDonald's is always hiring.
If they can't handle a low pressure restaurant where the customers aren't in a hurry, there's no way they can handle McDonald's where the customers are actively hostile.
Cog in a machine
As a professional cook it be like that sometimes 😅
I'm sure that is a legit issue and the menu should be planned to reduce that load. In this case the guy was more suited to repetitive jobs in larger scale kitchens which mine isn't.
I had a rentoid that would call me for the most insane shit all the time. Changing light bulbs, fixing their own personal AC unit and stopping a neibourhood dog from barking.
When they were evicted I held the damage deposit because the hardwood floors and internal doors were damaged to fuck by their dog which they tried to claim as being normal wear and tear.
Sounds rough man. Maybe you should just sell the property, then you wouldn't have to deal with such things.
Maybe you should buy the property then you won't have to deal with renting.
I own my house, doesn't mean I can't see landlords are leaches that are screwing the housing market.
Anyone who owns a home is a landlord by definition. You're a lord of alloted land.
It's silly that you believe that landlords are the problem. The housing crisis is 100% Chinese, Arab and Large buisness investors.
You're the type that talks about the environmental impact of the people when 80% of pollution comes from a single source.
I suppose if you completely fail to understand context sure, but why would I bother trying to have a discussion with someone who fails to understand basic context?
And what are these investors doing? Are they perhaps being landlords and renting out the property?
No. Most of the properties are left empty...
Or just evict them. I rent a portion of my home that I live in.
Yup, people here are generally young and have only had experience being on the tenant side of the equation. Someday they may find out what it is like being on the other side and that tenants can be pigs.
They may be good tenants and assume that most tenants are good tenants. Not realizing how rare that is.
Then you also have the ones who say every landlord is bad, which is clearly them just being a bad tenant.
I put my rent fairly low to help people out but the low income people are generally disasters to rent to.
Aw man, it's almost like they think they are paying you...
Not nearly enough. Rents due rentoid.
Bad renters exist, but for every story like yours I have five places I've lived in where it took months to fix the A/C in summertime and the landlord just let it fucking go meanwhile holding out their greedy mitts demanding $2000 a month.
2 grand! To live in 90° heat, if I wanted to do that I'd just live on the street.
Fucking landloids.
Could be very reasonable or even cheap depending on location.
Does cheap mean they're allowed to not fulfill their maintenance requirements meanwhile showing up on the dot collection day to take rent?
No. Use your rights. Withhold payment until the service is restored.
This will vary greatly from area to area but in most places for a tenant to withhold payment legally the property generally has to have a problem that would make the property "unliveable". Like the front door falling off the hinges, no water or no functioning toilets or the landlord has to ignore the problem for an unreasonable length of time.
The A.C breaking in the beginning of summer and it taking a week to get an A.C company to look at it probably doesnt count. Them leaving the A.C broken for the whole three months probably does.
