Renting and not giving keys to landlord

[crinkleshoes]

^^ fair chip on your shoulder there

By the way do you drive a BMW as you've got the badge in your sig? Just wondering why you'd choose that over a ford fiesta 1.1? or is that how you prefer to spend your cash rather than 'invest' in property as landlords tend to do?

So... that means you think it's A-OK for people to profit off the lives of others?

check your lease - the small print. When you leave you may want a reference

Nowadays, landlords will just report you to a bad tenancy website, which is getting increasingly checked by landlords, given everyone now has access to a computer.

So with that said, don't be a bad tenant... You may think you're holding the cards, but you're just a tenant at the end of the day, who's paying someone to put a roof over your head, who's probably not going to be able to afford their own place after you get kicked out of this, and end up living at your parents, cos no-one will take you on, after your name lights up like a christmas tree, on the bad tenancy sites.

Yes, as he's providing a service and has prob invested a load of money into it. Not everyone can afford a house and therefore have to rent.

Not your property!! You are renting!!! Simples!!!!!!!

kind of is his flat for the duration of his tenancy...

 

[crinkleshoes]

You do not see a problem with this?

It baffles me how so many people seem to be OK with being raped on a daily basis.

1 person can "invest" in 100 houses and happilly sit on their arse doing nothing, living of the lives, work and efforts of those 100 people/families.

While the families who have been forced to rent by a system they've been born into that has no desire to support them, are force into an over-priced rental system, paying someone else's mortgage for them instead of being able to put the same money into their own home.

I see 3 or 4 people in a chain where there should be only two.

House builder -> home habitant

The current chain is

House builder -> mortgage company -> landlord -> home habitant

Cut out the middle men... especially the mortgage company who will quite happily charge you 4x or more the actual cost of the house for the privilege of "helping" you get the roof over your head... when they are the ones who have actively artificially inflated the cost of houses in the first place.

It would be kindof OK if you could at least build your own shack on a random piece of land... but even if you do it on your own family-owned property... it'll be knocked down... severe bias anyone?

And... you are OK with this rape?



The system is broken... those who see the problem and acknowledge it are either self-defeating, egoic sickofants or cowards.

Those who haven't seen the idiocy in it all... simply haven't or refuse to open their eyes.

what about food rape... I mean we have to eat to survive yet to get food we're forced to pay tesco's shareholders for them...

oh the horrors of people making a profit

 

[traveyb]

I think to save yourself issues in the long run you best handover the spare key or put the old locks back on

 

[#Chri5#]

So do you object to a shop selling you food for a profit then? Or do you buy everything direct from the farmer?

Pretty much sums my thoughts up. Look at the current milk issue, you pay what about 90p for 2 pints? Go down the chain and the farmer is loosing out big time

 

[HAz]

Rape? Lol talking utter crap.

 

[OspreyO]

Why not buy your own place and rent it out if you think it takes no effort. Or provide free housing yourself if you can make it work better.

The main issue I have there are the shareholders... public company trading, gambling money that doesn't exist... you know, the cause of the last financial "crash" (which, by the way, a few profited greatly from... the imaginary figures weren't simply deleted).

Yes, i object to any basic right or forced industry being for-profit... water and food included.

Example of forced-industry = car insurance.

Costs need to be covered for running / salaries of workers etc... but making profit on a mandatory conscription is abhorrent.

 

[OspreyO]

Set up your own system. End of problem.

so shop at the co-op, get your insurance from them too... do your banking with them

you can chose to buy from a non profit making company others can chose to buy from a profit making one... where is the problem

I'd love to, unfortunately for me... any progress in this area would require collective effort and collaboration.

Something which too many people appear to be too selfish or self-defeating to consider helping anyone outside of their own bloodline.

You already see in this thread many people in this thread are perfectly happy with the current system... I imagine they quite happily afford the roof over their heads (even if its not theirs), can easily pay the gas bill to cook, the water bill to drink... blah blah blah. Why would they bother risking a dis-lodgement of their "comfortable enough" to help another or maybe make things better.

I'm not immune / perfect myself and don't pretend to be... I am highly annoyed, distraught and feddup of trying to poke someone into seeing something different, a more collective way forward... only to be confronted with a combination of cowardliness and greed.

Do you have any idea how much time and effort let alone the financial side it costs to maintain a home? The landlords are not sitting back. They're doing a job and getting paid for it...

You sound like a typical freeloader, which incidentally are the scurvy of modern society. I want I want....... for free... not paying.. my right.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Don't judge what you don't know... I have not advocated doing nothing and agree that those who can pull their own weight should... only those with disabilities etc should get easy help - although I'm sure many can and are happy to do their own thing.

I have an issue with supporting those who choose to do nothing and especially the ones who then blame immigrants for taking their jobs lol... yeah... the jobs they didn't want in the first place.

I did a crummy job before making it to a better job and then a better job. Since I started working, I've paid my own way.

I just wish I had something to show for it... all that money... all that portion of my life I have exchanged for money has gone to fund SOMEONE ELSES "investment" that they have given me the "privilege" to live in and I see this happening so much that it sickens me.

When it should have gone towards the first 20% of my home... but no... unless you've got that up-front deposit for an already over-inflated house price... you're forced to fund the same thing for someone else and be left with nothing.

So I guess you rent then?

 

[jimjamuk]

then dont buy a house - you sound like you are advocating doing something different but then are moaning about being part of the system - go live on a boat or move back in with your parents.

Owning a house isnt a right

 

[firstborn]

So I guess you rent then?

and live in looneytune street, crazy town....
