Landlords do not know what it's actually like to actually take risk as a business owner

And who has to foot the bill when the renters trash the place?

Bullshit…try it sometime and see what it’s really like

Exactly…renters don’t understand what’s at stake when you rent to people that may or may not have the responsible adult gene in them

How to let everyone know you've NEVER been a landlord, WITHOUT telling everyone you've never been a landlord.
(or probably even responsible for your own existence)

Landlord here.

Have had my full share of tenants that refuse to accept that the lease they signed determines whether they have a roof over their heads.

Pay rent on time.
Pay rent in full.
No pets means no pets ("F" your "comfort" animal)
No sublets/tenants not on lease.
Damages are charged to tenant.
No tenant renovations.
No painting.
No removing floor coverings.
No removing/selling appliances.
Lawn care is required of tenant.
Maintain all utilities, including garbage pick up.
No tenant conduct resulting in police calls.

Basic citizenship skills required for successful participation in a society...and maintaining a roof over your head.

As for the thousands of dollars I am collecting:

There is my monthly mortgage payment to subtract from the rent you pay.

Additional costs subtracted from the rent you pay:

Renovation costs.
Maintenance costs.
Property taxes.
Income taxes.
Insurance premiums.
Listing/advertising costs.
Accountant/Business services fees.
Property management fees.

Add legal fees if you being a lousy tenant requires use of the court system.

This is what it costs me for you to live in a well maintained home in good neighborhood.

Your $2,000 rent might turn into just $300 for me.

So if you drink six beers and punch a hole in my door during an argument with your domestic partner which will require replacement, or sneak in a pet that urinates on my carpet which will require replacement, I will not realize any financial gain for that month or more.

Damage the house and don't pay rent and require courts to force eviction, and you may have blown any profit I would have realized for the entire year.

There is great risk in being a landlord.

If you want to pay slum rent, rent a slum property in "the hood" from a slum lord. But there really won't be much difference in the rent, just the condition of the home and the lack of maintenance and give a damn provided you.

"F your comfort animal" wow you've definitely proved you're not a piece of shit. What's next? Are you gonna evict people for having babies because you're worried a baby might pee on the carpet? Also, maybe you should do an honest day's work for a change and not make other people subsidize your mortgage you lazy freeloader.

Clueless.

Smug arrogant gaslighter

Typical insults that do not provide thoughtful argument in defense of your stated premise that there is no risk to being a landlord.

I have clearly stated that there is substantial risk which you cannot refute.

So you resort to petty name calling in a desperate attempt to save face.

I spent/spend many hours WORKING to be able to afford to buy properties, maintain them, and renting them to qualified applicants that do not share your bitterness and envy that would lead you to violate the terms of your lease.

I would then go to considerable expense to have a magistrate and/or a circuit court judge tell you that it is you that is engaging in lazy, freeloading behavior.

Then you, and your comfort animal, will be homeless...and I will not waste a minute being concerned for you.

Explain how I am a piece of excrement and you are not.

No one is fooled by your passive aggressive syntax.

It's not an "insult" when you are literally being what people call you out for being. Also ask yourself, would Jesus be such a shit to people and want a person to be homeless and freeze to death just for having a pet? I am disgusted at what a heartless monster you are. You "Christians" claim to be practicing what Jesus told people but you act like self-righteous uncompassionate shitty people to those who don't have as much money as you. If you wanna treat the poor like dirt, then that's up to you but don't you go committing blasphemy claiming to do it in Jesus' name. Just be honest and admit who you actually worship, Ayn Rand, who was endorsed by Anton Levay, the founder of the church of Satan.

Still not addressing the premise.

Still assuming.

Show me one post where I have stated my conformance to any religious belief.

I didn't start with a silver spoon...I was a poor one treated like dirt that overcame my initial station in life through work instead of just sitting around moaning about unfairness with my hand out.

If you wish to bring Christianity in to your argument, I submit that the bible states that GOD helps those that help themselves. Also to give to Caeser what belongs to Caeser.

Would Jesus tell you to be dishonest in your dealings, not pay your rent, and violate the rules to which you agreed in advance?

Let me ask you three more things -

Why should I work many more hours than average in order to provide you a home, financially imperiling myself, for nothing?

Why should you not work many more hours than average to be able to afford a desirable place to live?

Why should you not have to adhere to the lease agreement you accepted and acknowledged by attaching your signature?

I can guarantee you, I always did pay my rent, I always abided by the rules, I was never belligerent or made a mess or caused damage. If a tenant refuses to pay rent, makes a mess and causes damage then you do have reason to evict them but if you evict them for spurious reasons just to spite them even though they didn't break actual rules (which does happen) then you are being nothing but a vulture.

You called me names despite my not having done so.

You also answered none of the questions.

I am not surprised.
