I kinda get it, but I would argue that Trump/the republicans have gone so far beyond parody, that it’s actually become way too hard to make memes about them.
I agree with you by principle but there are those who have no interest in ever having a house of their own, either by personal or professional reasons.
A landlord-tenant relationship isn’t the only way to solve this, though. A more humane way would be housing coops.
Maintaining a house entails expenses, from current maintenance, to taxes and the eventual full overhaul because someone decided to trash the place.
The primary purpose of rent isn’t maintenance, though; it’s profit. The concept of making profit by mere ownership is even called “rent-seeking”.
But I don’t want to see people be deprived of what is theirs
Well, I’m deprived of 30% of my wages. Why does my landlord need two houses, anyway?
And if people actually knew how to read, the law is pretty explicit on what is licit, both for tenants and owners
Wow, what a classist statement. Not everyone has the time/ability/resources to take advantage of laws protecting the tenants (guess who usually has more resources for lawyers; it’s the one with more capital).
Also, you ignore the inherent power dynamics. My current landlord demands more rent than what is actually legal where I live. I didn’t bring it up, because if I did, I would have risked having to look for a different appartment.
the word “landlord” sounds too much like feudalism to me to use it
It fits the congept of a feudal society quite nicely, though.
I wonder how much of the concept of tenants “trashing” the place is actually occuring. It seems to me like the occurence is highly exaggerated.
I’m deprived of my income through various means as well and don’t like it but I have to trade my money for other things I require to live.
I’m against wage slavery in any form.
Hopefully, we can shed this system but I risk with a good amount of certainty I won’t be alive to see it.
Just because you’re pessimistic, doesn’t mean we should stop criticising currently occurring injustice.
Why can’t you own more than one house? Let’s state, for the purpose of the argument, you inherit a house. You already have one. Do you sell the other? For what reason? And for what price?
Because I don’t need more than one house for shelter. The other house could enter a usufruct property relation with the community. The accumulation of generational capital is one of the main drivers of economic injustice in the world.
This is a self appointed criticism. I had to read the law to explain it to others and it is not hard to understand.
Let’s ignore the fact that you can’t make that statement for every juristiction and that not every country has as good tenant protections as yours. Doubling down on the classism, are we? The whole power imbalance is unjust (the whole “justice” system is).
You also didn’t understand what I meant with power imbalance.
Does not imply I have to like and abide the use of the word.
Then you have a problem with accurate descriptions. That’s your problem, though.
It’s a hard thing to gauge. I’ve seen my share of houses completely destroyed by occupants: destroyed kitchens, bathrooms, walls covered in filth, tobbacco smoke and whatever it may have been, besides other damage.
Yeah, sure. I’m guessing: selection bias.
Edit: you weren’t aware that landlords seek profits? O.o
I’m not sure about anything, but the client, as I’ve been usenetting without thinking much about stuff for almost a decade now.
eweka.nl (share your access with friends and family - I’ve shared mine with like 8 people some time in the past)
nzbgeek (lifetime API access was like 30€ - well worth it), I also know about nzbplanet, but I don’t have a premium account there. You can try these out without paying to see if their offer suits what you’re looking for, but you won’t get API access of course and you’ll be limited in the downloads.
Last, but not least: sabnzbd is the gold standard for clients. Runs on everything: from a raspberry pi to your Desktop PC.
