So you rent an apartment, but are only allowed to be there a certain amount of hours per day? What's next, every 5min you have to listen to ads? Only allowed to use the toilet 3 times a day, otherwise the toilet door hinges will wear too fast?
This guy isn't a landlord. Property's degrade far quicker and worse when left unoccupied for long periods of time. Leaks go unreported. Water freezes in the pipe. Air becomes damp and mold takes over. Squatters move in and trash the place.
Yeah, hi, um... Fuckface McParasite... You have literally zero fucking say over what people do in their home you fucking moron. If that means your precious fucking lightswitches wear out faster, too bad, so sad.
Isn't a light switch 99¢ or less especially if you buy a pack of 10 ? This does not justify a $200/month increase if you WFH like I saw in an ad. I wasn't sure it was a joke or not
The only explanation I've heard that makes sense is when it's running a business out of the home and you have clients/customers coming and going. The increase in traffic is not accounted for in their insurance and blah blah. Extending that to WFH is either someone not understanding some landlord's rights posts they read on some dark corner of the internet or, I don't know, idiocy? Either way you're signaling you'll be a problem landlord.

A landlord complaining about having to do their job? Shocked
mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 31 pts · 23d
Based on every landlord I've seen, they're complaining about not doing their job twice as much
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 23d
Landlords just don't want to work anynore

In the most charitable interpretation, the rent price only barely covers the wear and tear without wfh, but we all know that's not true.
RiverRock@lemmy.ml · 59 pts · 23d
Damn, poor landlord will have to spend a little bit more of my fucking money to fix it.
mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml · 27 pts · 23d
Yeah. When they complain I always want to ask them "Really? What did you do with the last $2,000 I gave you?" like a disappointed father.
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml · 36 pts · 23d
Well, if you think that's bad you should get a job

So, we get rent discounts for going on vacation then right?

Leviathan@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 23d
I turn on the light maybe 20 minutes a day for eating and maybe finding something. Do I get a discount because I like to live in the dark?

As a fellow creature of the night, I keep my windows and blinds closed at all times, that's cutting down on both UV and other weather damage.
Check please.

So much woe is me with these fuckers. If it's so terrible being a landlord then sell up and get a job.

You can live in the home you pay rent for, but only during certain hours.

That guy is an idiot, which as far as I can tell is all the prerequisites needed to be a leech.

If all landlords knew that, there wouldn't be an "unoccupied houses to homelessness" ratio, tbf.

Yeah, you're renting, but that doesn't mean you can just live in it.

If I'm paying rent, I'll be in the unit as often as I damn well please. Simple as.

A decent switch will run you about $2.48USD. Not sure about contractor packs but I’m sure it’s cheaper. Your point still stands.
RusAD@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 23d
As if a landlord would ever buy a decent switch and not the absolute cheapest one

So they don’t rent to stay at home parents either then right???

Raise the rents on home schoolers too, that's extra wear and tear.

Just to check, this isn't someone pretending to be a poor landlord complaining about themselves being at home all day?

Won't someone think of the landlords? They're the real heroes who run society, without them no one would have a place to live! /s
