Sorry Nancy no change left

Blackmist ,

Has that ever happened to anyone, ever, or is it just Lemmies having a leftywank again?

Johanno ,

None of my victims ever paid a tip when I asked them /s

“leftywank” lmao I like it

It’s just a shitpost, but it’s good to hear that the satire is good enough that lots of people can’t tell if it’s real

Siegfried ,

There is a lot of shit happening in the US that i cant comprehend… like, “how do they tolerate this?”… At one point i just stopped questioning

aidan ,

No, it’s that it’s a common meme but never happens, so people are confirming that it’s just a meme. That doesn’t mean it’s a good or clever meme. If you constantly joke about pooping in sinks, eventually someone will ask if you actually poop in sinks.

Real estate influencers spark heated debate after arguing tenants should tip landlords

Blackmist ,

All of those links sound like satire to me.

stillwater ,

You just really want to bitch about other people finding something funny then huh

LemmyKnowsBest ,

If you don’t tip your landlord you have a much higher chance of internet and power outages… Just saying!

zammy95 ,

Lol what? Almost all places I know (around here at least), the power and Internet bills are paid by the tenants

Mr_Fish ,

Because why would the landlord pay a cost when they can just make the tenant pay without lowering rent?

WaxedWookie ,

That sounds like a great case for strong consumer protection laws.

sugarfree ,
@sugarfree@lemmy.world avatar

No, I don’t believe that tips need to be backed by legislation, it’s better when they are optional so you can identify ideal tenants.

WaxedWookie , (edited )

Consumer protections, not landlord protections, my guy - what a strange takeaway.

As property without power or internet isn’t habitable, and no rent should be paid on it - “voluntary” tips on top of what you’re already paying to placate a landlord in the hopes they won’t render the property uninhabitable aren’t voluntary - that’s what we call extortion.

Edit: To those wondering what kind of dipshit defends landlords extorting people for tips by cutting power and electricity, I’d encourage you to look at this particular dipshit’s dumpster fire of a comment history.

Tip in bitcoins mined on his electricity.

hh93 ,

you’re not paying for you electricity in the US? Here in Germany you pay an expected amount for heating and electricity and then at the end of the year the landlord has to send you a statement telling you how much was used exactly and either pay you back the difference or you have to pay additionally and that usually results in changes in what the expected amount is in the future

BirdyBoogleBop ,

That sounds a little complicated. I get the energy bill directly from the energy provider and pay what I owe or set up a direct debit with them.

The Landlord is not involved except for clearing the debt before moving in.

hh93 ,

Depends on the building usually.

I also pay my energy for myself but the heating usually is per building and not per flat so it’s not really easy to split up so if you live in a multi-flat apartment at least the heating is usually paid up front by the landlord who includes part of it in your rent

Marin_Rider ,

in NSW Australia it’s even better. you sort your own electricity as a tenant which is fine, but when it comes to water, the landlord pays the fixed fees and tenant pays for usage. except only one bill is issued and it goes to the landlord, who sends a copy of the bill to you with the amount you need to pay.

I think they are looking at tenant billing directly but as of now its this crazy system

captainlezbian ,

Here in the US sometimes the landlord covers utilities, usually you have to set up your own utilities account. Other times dig a well and build your own power plant v
