Please use gender neutral inclusive language, instead of landlord, use the gender neutral term, landleech.

Landlord said to me "property tax has gone up. This is my only form of income. Will need to increase rent"

Told him "yeah, everything has gone up and my paycheck is still the same".

Like, these types of relationships are so parasitic. This is the "nice" mom and pop style landlord too that every liberal seems to want to give a pass too.

Sure, are they less bad than the big corporate faceless landlords? Yes. But the entire relationship is the problem.

They get to justify forcing me out of my home because the value of the house that they own WENT UP.

That's why their property tax is more. They literally own something that is more valuable and making it further impossible for me to ever buy a place of my own.

NGL if you are paying 2/3 of your income to rent you need to move to another part of the world.

How do people still argue that landlords are useful and necessary?

By being landlords or personally knowing landlords.

If i had Jeff Bozos money, I'd buy a bunch of houses and offer them to the homeless to get the back into society. Fucking bozo Bozos is. And that's why I'll never have Jeff Bozos money.

And then they raise rent. For what? They haven't upgraded anything. They haven't added any of that value to the property. Every year the house gets older. Cars lose value every year even if you maintain it perfectly.
