Is your landlord an investment firm, a random dude or the government in your country?
>>219302232Here it's illegal to evict the tenant because you want to let your chud son live in it.
>>219302232I'm the landlord.
we usually rent from other people, it is not common to rent from firms here
Rentoids think they should be able to stay forever as long as they pay the rent, except rent can't ever rise and they can leave whenever they want.

>>219302232>op picturei've been saying this shit, fuck mom and pop landlords and fuck small businessesevery big corporation i have worked for is a big faceless monstrosity, sure, but it's always a big enough operation that there is recourse if some cunt middle manager tries to fuck you over, and there is standardised processes for eveythingevery "small business" (that we're supossed to hold to some higher standard and protect) i have ever worked for has been full of blatant workplace abuse. i was 16 working at a small firm part time ran by a retarded paki who routinely harrassed female staff and paid staff less than minimum wage under the table (he's now in prison). then after that, at like 18, i got a job at a mom-and-pop retail business, i was he only employee and was subjected to verbal abuse by a 70-something alcoholic woman (the owner) every day when she'd wake up from her whiskey stupor at noon. never had this shit working for a big corp because people know their place, whereas small business owners are little hitlers.and it's the same with landlords, estate agencies and such have standardised processes for things, small private landlords will drag their feet for months important maintenance work and try to fuck you out of the deposit

>>219302232I don't have a landlord I live with my parents as a good boy should
>>219304405Yeah. Got a problem faggot?
>>219302232I am the owner of my flat
>>219303752here it's legal and called "Kündigung wegen Eigenbedarfes"
>>219305197This.Same shit here.In Argentina we have a huge issue with informal work. IE people get hired under the table, no documents, no contract, paid in cash, etc. Obviously that means that when you get suddenly fired it's either a long and cumbersome trial or you get nothing.Guess who is far more likely to have informal workers:>A. mom and pop shop (mom and pop used the business account to finance their yearly Disneyworld trip which is why they won't pay you on time teehee)>B. large multinational corporation with 20.000 employees
>>219302232the bank is my landlord
>>219305197Large firms here have a habit of increasing the rent every year by the maximum allowed in the contract. In reality, rent prices have increased by 6-8% in the capital area in the last 10 years. They assume that you won't move out even if they increase the rent, but if you do move out, you'll see that they'll list it with whatever your original rent was before all the increases. Most individuals can't be bothered to ask for more rent, or are too afraid to, because it can be quite a bother to find another dweller, especially one that pays the rent on time and doesn't completely destroy the apartment. There's no lack of apartments here.
>>219304405Rentoids has a union here. The union negotiates the rent with landlords.
>>219305515Holy...>Kündigung wegen Eigenbedarfs (personal use termination) is a German legal provision allowing landlords to terminate a residential lease if they, or close family members (e.g., children, parents), need the apartment for themselves. It requires a valid, written justification, adherence to specific notice periods (3-9 months), and is invalid if faked.
>>219302232Well little chuddy needs a place to stay, simple as
>>219305623>>219305515vgh, a remnant of traditioanl junker aristocratic hate of the peasants...
>>219305197true, small business will pretty much always require you to work overtime or do stuff that's outside your actual list of work tasksbig business on the other hand have hierarchies and you will be forced to lick arse and there's a lot of nasty trash-talk but you clock in, do your thing and leave and that's italthough I do think small business are best, if you have humane boss that can communicate well, one that will help you out with personal stuff, but those are quite rare
>>219302232my landlord is a jew.... his business isn't as big as the investment firms, but he's not exactly small time either, he owns a several large buildings in this city
>>219302232Housing cooperative. That being said I own my flat. Bought it for 0,3 USD last year since my family had full rights to it and it's the minimum for an ownership transfer. My grandpa got it for free in the commie days for marching in military parades in Warsaw.
>>219305794>boomers were handed apartments for free>meanwhile I have to work for 30 years just to afford a shitty ground level apartment in negrotown
I am the landlord, unfortunately I picked some shitty markets where I grew up that are extremely pro rentoid.
>>219306005Your boomer parents didn't buy you an apartment?
>>219306005Have you tried getting a job? Receiving welfare checks is not work.
>>219306005We all paid for it in the end once communism fell. All commieblocks were built with foreign debt money. I was born in '98 when things were more stable, but anyone gen X or older was subjected to utter poverty and chaos for over a decade.Also, to be fair, the waiting list was absurdly long, like 10+ years, unless you were a party member or some other privileged worker group (like a soldier).In 10 years the market will be flooded with these flats once all the boomers die and there won't be enough young people to live in them. Developeroids are panicking as we speak and lowering prices already, otherwise they'll be stuck with unsellable property since every zoomer is gonna inherit like 1,5 apartments.
>>219306082praying to Mao (PBUH) that you are inevitably beheaded by a tenant
>>219302232IN GERMANY, you can go to towns with 50,000-100,000 inhabitants and the locals will casually tell you "oh yeah, over half of the buildings here are owned by the same person". I thank Yakub every day that I was born a ruralchad and was spared this humiliation ritual.
>>219302232if they evict you that would break the contract. I want money and hate ALL landlords
My landlord is some rich guy from Dubai who does not even speak english
>>219302232A random bloke, met him last week when he dropping a new shower for me off, he seemed nice.

>>219302232some chick i never talk toshe hired a lawyer that many landlords hire and he takes care of many apartments of his clientspretty sure they can only evict me at the end of the 1y contract
>>219305197>small private landlords will drag their feet for months important maintenance work and try to fuck you out of the deposittrueI was paying rent since January but I made the mistake of telling the landlord (a nepo baby) I was moving in March. I visited the apartment last week and nothing was finished. She said she thought she still had time. Meanwhile the corporate landlord apartment offered first month free. I'd chose that but corporate landlords buildings are really really small and the common areas are too small for all the people. I prefer to not have common areas and have big shit apartment for me self
>>219307006sorry lad, the jfs must hear my message
>>219304405rent seekers are everything that's wrong with the modern economy. Maoists were right to string your ilk by your intestines.
>>219302232Renting in Sweden >rent is capped by the government >rents are negotiated by unions >first hand rental contracts are not time limited, the landlord has no power to end the contract, that decision belong to the tenant >landlords must offer qualified repairs, maintenance and cleaning to all propertiesAnd so on. Landlords basically have no power here. If you rent and apartment and decide to live there for 50 years then you can so because the landlord has no choice. Removing their power is why Sweden has managed to keep rents fairly low compared to most countries. But we do have housing queues that can be pretty long in some areas and cities.
>>219302232my papa is my landlord owo
I only want "good" tenants. How many times can I consecutively rent my units to white people without the government getting suspicious that I'm filtering out the undesirables?
>>219302232Some scumbag
>>219305728>>219305197Many people go into small business work because they're disagreeable people that, ironically, can't handle being under someone else for ego reasons. The same attitude that makes them shit employers gets manifested on the other end where they were formally bratty employees. A lot would rather make like 20% more money for 60% more effort carrying actual legal risk just to feel like they're king of the castle. There's a lot of good small businesses though, and the best companies tend to be small businesses with a certain vibe. But when they're shit man they can be shit. You can sniff out the good companies from the bad ones within like five minutes of being in one. The high staff turnover being one.There's the other end of this thread though. Many good mom and pop landlords get fucked over by hostile tenants. Some really nice boomers I know got burnt doing it and have some resentment over it.
>>219308116this is true, but the twist is the time you have to wait to even have the slightest chance at getting one of those apartments being 10-20 YEARS.i'm not being hyperbolic here, no matter what there will be some schmuck with 20'years in the queue that WILL steal your two bedroom apartment.otherwise, enjoy paying up to 20K SEK a month (2237 USD) for a "new stock" apartment, which can set whatever rent they want when they build new stock (presumptive rent, which is based on the building cost, not the utility value) for the first 15 YEARS.
>>219305515we do not do this in AMERICA
>>219302232some german faggotTLD
>>219305197trvkesame shit happens here, fuck small buisness
>>219308593Depends on the city tho. I've moved several times here in Linköping and the average queue time for me have been around 2 years.
>>219302232lol this happened to my parent's last tenant lmao
>>219304405Landtoids be like "oy vey this house was promised to me 6000 years ago when my parents died and I inherited it, pay me for the privilege of living there goy"
>>219306460Developers should actually make decent apartments, not>Commieblock, but with thinner walls
>>219302232>>219305197
>>219306752>oh yeah, over half of the buildings here are owned by the same personthat just so happens to be the former von Chudsburg local ruling family?
>>219307851You don't actually know what a rent seeker is. It doesn't describe a modern landlord who rents out apartments in a building. REITs aren't the same thing as what is basically feudal landlords in China 70 years ago
>>219305679>no you can't take back your own house for your own need
>>219305556Rent control is dumb, landlords should increase rent to whatever the market can bare. That's how new construction gets financed and housing supply can be expanded.
>>219309953>transcends the political spectrumbased landGODspay up rentie
I am the landlord and I expect you to take care of mah garden and if you don't I shall fine you, as per the contract.
>>219309953Adam Smith was not talking about landlords renting out a housing unit. He was talking about what are basically feudal-esque landowners. Most of the value when you rent an apartment is from the structure rather than the land itself. The structure needs to be built by people which needs to be financed. Its absolutely correct that land ownership is unproductive, but the solution is a Land Value Tax not rent control or some Maoist anti-landlord measure.
>>219310542erm, rent seeking is when the meanie landSOY needs funny paper to let me live in his basementthis is le bad because housing is a human right o algo
>>219304269Same.
>>219305197This depends on the landlord, mine is an old woman and she has never raised my rent or given me trouble, she is afraid some subhuman moves in and fucks up the place like it happened before i moved in, just paying rent on time and not destroying the apartment is good for her lol
>>219310594>That's how new construction gets financed and housing supply can be expanded.Nah, they just pocket the money and bump up the rent. It's why renovations are so rare or badly done with cheap materials or not certified workers.
>>219310653Rent seeking is basically profiting without adding any value. Land speculation is rent seeking activity. But buying an apartment building and renting out the units is not, and developing an apartment building is absolutely not.
>>219310745>But buying an apartment building and renting out the units is not, and developing an apartment building is absolutely not.Both can turn into it quite easily. Renovictions are one way to help do that.
>>219310745apartments are free, they naturally grow on empty fields
I've heard enough and am of the unique opinion that both landlords and renters are both shit.
>>219310767People got paid for building it already thoughbeit
>>219310728The reason why developers are able to build and banks agree to finance new apartments is because they know an REIT will buy the apartment building.However, in order for it to be worthwhile the building needs to be valuable, perhaps selling it for 25% more than the construction costs including interest payments. However value of a building is determined by the rent that will be collected from it, so if rent cannot be increased that means no new supply will come in. Developers often like to be lean, they like to build a new building, and sell it to an REIT within a few years.
>>219310815the concept of profit or time value of money is still too advanced for the german serf I see
>>219310842Not an argument
>>219310815The reason they built it is because they would be able to sell it to someone else for money. And the reason they bought it is because they would be able to charge rent. So no rent collected means no more construction. That's why rent caps are a terrible idea. Also very often the developer or landlord is still paying off the loan which the took out to build it, so the rent is literally paying for construction.
>>219310871I accept your concession
>>219310930Dont spend money you dont have? Pretty basic advice, hello??
>>219310974You mustve misunderstood, i said your post is not an argument
>>219310976If they don't then nothing gets built. We have a financial industry for a reason. People have things they need to do or make, the bank has cash, so they work it out.
>>219305197my experience as a customer with small businesses except landlords is that the small businesses will give me special favors at the drop of a hat and are eager to answer any question in detail
>>219311044I forgot that real americans are all in debt for the next 4 generations, forgive my mistake
>>219310801trvke.every citizen above the age of 21 should be lent a bunch of powertools and materials, and ordered to build a shack. those who have an iq below 90 will freeze to death by winter.the rest will learn to live in a comfy house and get to pass their genes.
>>219311106You don't have to get in personal debt to understand why a financial industry is neccessary
rentoids are so resentful that you can't help but laughyou would have been peasants in the past so really you should be thankful for having running water provided to you
>>219304405>Rentoids think they should be able to stay forever as long as they pay the rent, except rent can't ever rise and they can leave whenever they wantYeah that is how it works here. If I pay rent and don't break the rules I can stay in my apartment until I die of old age. Landlord has zero power to kick me out and has no power to raise the rent. That is in the hands of the unions and government. My parents have lived in their apartment for 41 years. I have lived in mine for 9 years and I will probably never move out.
>>219311224I am trans btw
>>219311655This is why Stockholm has a housing shortage
>>219311723thanks I noticed
>>219311821Not my problem, Stockholm can burn for all I care. I live many hours from that shithole. If they have a housing shortage than they can spend some of that Stockholm money they always brag about on new apartment blocks.
>>219311655How can I, an American, get a Swedish apartment?
>>219305197>>219305728guys guys.Why dont we split the difference and do medium buisnesses? Shit that has like 3-5 locations That need some of the policies of big buisnesses, but have some of the flexibility of small buisnesses?
