Well it’s not uncommon to do that if the paint that’s there looks good enough already either let the next tenant paint it the colour they want or repaint in white and don’t allow them to change the colour…
They usually invest in property to secure funds for retirement, and to fund kids college, and basically afford life costs. Some actually have a regular job on top of this landlord “investment” thing going on. They mostly fix things by themselves because its cheaper (and sometimes the job is done poorly). Their “frugal” behavior is carried over from their personal lives into their rental bussiness, because they grew up in poverty.
I mean, honestly, its not “landlord bad”, its more of “capitalism bad”. Landlords exist because capitalism fucks everyone and everyone is trying to get ahead, any means necessary. So some become landlords. I mean, to understand their perspective, they don’t view it as wrong because they think “if it’s legal, then its okay”. That’s literally what society tells everyone.
I mean, these “small landlords” won’t need to hoard properties if society has UBI, retirement funds that policitians aren’t trying to cut all the time, free college, socialized healthcare, people actually being able to afford living, etc.
Direct your anger towards capitalism, taking out your anger on these landlords (especially the small ones) is a waste of time, aim for the politicians and the top 1%.
You seem to be describing most capitalist countries (minus the ubi). The US is the only one without socialized Healthcare. One a the few ones without free college.
A landlord working? in what world?
They hire someone else and bill the last tenant
Eh, individual landlords that try to save money by doing it (badly) themselves still exist. I had one for a while.
Yeah, and they still charge a professional fee to the last tenant even though they did it horribly for half the cost
Hopefully the last tenant tells the landlord to pound sand as there wasn’t a written agreement.
That’s why that take your deposit up front.
Mine told us if we wanted to paint the walls we could
With the obvious implication we’d pay for it or do it ourselves

Landlords are bad.
