This man has never had renters
Oh do go get fucked.
My last renter texted me and told me the toilet wouldn't flush. She said she "took it apart" but couldn't fix it so it needed to be snaked out. I go there and a neighbor told me she set a can of cat food on the tank for her kitten to eat and it knocked the can into the bowl. She tried to flush it down. Her boyfriend shows up and tells me the same story. She only took the tank off (nowhere near where a clog would be) and she replaced it without replacing the gasket so it had been leaking water. Once I knew what the problem was I fixed it in 30 minutes. Her keeping the truth from me made it take a lot longer and cost more. I charged her $300 less rent than the property next door in a trendy neighborhood because I didn't want to be "part of the problem ". Long story short, not everyone is cut out to be a home owner.
Sounds like a moron, but fixing a toilet once doesn’t make it a job. It’s passive income like an investment
Own a house then get back to me
I own a house. I work and I hire people if I can't fix something myself. So far I've only had to do that once in 4 years. Owning a house is not a job. Landlord literally has "LORD" in the name... kinda hard to defend, friend.
That's the strangest argument I've heard in a while. Owning a house isn't a job but maintaining one is. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, HVAC are all jobs and if you don't think so you must be one of these Republicans that think a person who gets their hands dirty doesn't deserve a living wage.
Owning a house isn’t a job but maintaining one is.
I think you just agreed with each other a little bit.
A plumber or a sparky doesn't just maintain one house, and if they're just doing maintenance, probably work on hundreds of houses a year. Maintaining your own house takes a fraction of the time and effort of working a housing-related trade full time.
I own a house, got a plumber for replace a cistern was like 30 mins of work, and I did that whilst working!
Your comment doesn't make sense and is confusing. Are you AI?
Illiterate and a landlord? That does check out, you pathetic excuse for a parasitic infection somehow confused for a human.
Care to explain to me how anyone replaces a cistern in 30 minutes? Either this guy got his terminology mixed up or they got ripped off
How do you take longer? It's a ten minute job with a journeyman and apprentice helper.
Would an AI tell you to fuck yourself and go get a real job? Maybe it would
Pay income tax rather than capital gains tax on your house.
Then get back to me.
I paid income taxes, property taxes and since I sold the house I will soon pay capital gains taxes
So you know full well your property is an investment and as such not working taxes.
As starmer said. Not the out right lie the telegraph claims he "suggested".
Hi exact words when asked. Not by the definition we are using. So clearly relating to the definition working taxes not people.
Stop falling for right wing media bullshit.
It's a good thing we've got people like you making that choice instead of leaving it to everyone to decide
Your claim to be a worker because you did half an hour's work in a month for a landlord's income that's so large you can afford to discount it by £300 a month isn't the winning argument you think it is.
My toilet and drain is maintained well enough that it would flush some cat food if needed.
Thanks to my landlord that is Mountainbiking all day.
because I didn’t want to be "part of the problem "
And yet, you're still a landlord.. 🤔
I guess the greed won over, eh?
