Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do we have landlords

Yeah, because all those houses just spontaneously popped up out of the ground, and the greedy landlords just moved in and started charging people rent to live there. That's what the classical sense of rent-seeking is.

>You pay rent and think it's too expensive.
Get Fucked Commie. A rental property is a business.

Your landlord owns the property, therefore:
The landlord pays the property insurance.
The landlord pays the property taxes.
The landlord pays the school taxes.
The landlord pays the Water & Sewage.
The landlord pays the cost of repairs.
The landlord pays for pest control.
The landlord is liable for your property in the event of a fire.
The landlord has to recondition the property in the event of a new tenant. (carpet, paint, appliances)
The landlord has to pay legal fees to evict you.

...and then, to top it all off, they have to try and make a profit with very few tax exemptions.

Get a fucking job.

someone needs to get their head chopped off in the revolution.

I'm a landlord. I bought a house a few years back in Florida and lived there briefly and then had a job shift that sent me elsewhere. I could have sold it at break even costs or rented it out. I decided to rent it out.

If you are a big enough dumbass to rent then fuck you. I don't give a fuck. It's my property. If you are such a giant fuck up that you cant afford to buy your own house then you get to rent one from me at a 25% markup over my mortgage. Don't like it? Suck my dick and go be homeless faggot.

you're delusional if you think most people who rent a house from a landlord are too retarded to take care of their house or even if you think all landlords take good care of their property

we provide you with a roof in exchange for a percentage of your income. that percentage is your choice.

You: just..just take my bells

Easy money hire people to do jobs they can't it's literally the teacher of business

Should someone who invested money into the construction or purchase of a building not be allowed to rent parts of it out to those willing to pay for it?

Its no different from any other business where a capital investment is used to make money by providing a good or service people are willing to pay for

>Get a fucking job.
I have a job
most landlords don't

This is the only correct thing.

Rental properties provide homes to people who can't afford to buy or who need shorter term housing. That is something you should understand by middle school. Stop being a literal fucking retard, grow up, start saving for your own house.

>being a landlord isnt a job

exactly
glad we're on the same page

I think you might be on to something, they truly have no purpose

That is a child's understanding. You're a fucking idiot. Are you actually a teenager?

Adam Smith criticised rent seeking too
The real criminals are the stock market, the only true economic growth, as any economist will tell you, only and ONLY comes when you produce more goods or services, and they only time the stock market does that is when a sell of stock is used to fund new production (I.e. never in the modern world)

You don't "have landlords". Landlords aren't a public service. Landlords own land, and you need a home.

It's a job that isn't worth the pay it gets. They get too much for what they actually do. There could be some situations where that's not true but I don't know we need more information I guess

Friendly reminder that the value of someones labour isnt connected to how hard or how long they work, only to how much demand there is for it

Uhh you dont have to have a landlord user just buy a house silly

Parasites that prey on people poorer than them. The property market is a joke. We don't have a society anymore. Just pigs preying on each other. They are the number one reason why I would support despotic Communism, just to kill them all off. No future with people like this.

Holy fuck, what don't you understand? It isn't about hours worked - it's not about time investment like your job. It's about CAPITAL investment, which is much riskier, which is why it has the POTENTIAL to pay more. Due to the risk, you could also lose money, or lose a lot of money.

friendly reminder that there's a difference between value and price

Fpbp
Based flammenwerfer logic!

I think this notion will change. I'm from Melbourne and housing prices are getting shat on and it's only just begun. Eventually emotions will kick in and you'll be able to offer someone selling a shit box for less than what the shit box is worth.

IMO, it's a golden time to get into real estate, maybe not just yet but within the next 5 years.

How do you think they bought their houses? Just squatting?

Typical bongposter. You can't solve all problems with more governmental control. If people are dumb enough to rent, they deserve to be exploited.

How do we measure value? Opinion?

The price is the closest you'll get to average value to the rest of society

Then don't rent and buy your own property. Suddenly solved your problem of having to deal with landlords.

Property should be allocated , private ownership of a single property should be legal anything else is a type of usury .

We have foreigners coming here to buy property and let it to British people at extortionate rates, this is not right.

I bought the property with my own earned income.

I intend to rent out to people who have no intent to invest into owning their own house. (College students who will live here 4 years at the most).

Sure, I could let a mega corporation rent them high cost low quality single room hotel rooms, but I'd rather reap reasonable profit for people's comfort.

I do have the right to keep what I work for?

>owner man bad

You dont HAVE to rent from me.

Well, there you have it. Any other questions you want answers to, OP?

Eh, landlords will cease when the market conditions creating them cease. Combine inflation with a population-backed dollar, and rent will literally never stop growing, which means costs keep going up, which means rent stays.
Until you fix the whole "got mine" attitude, everyone will get theirs. I'll make mine about helping myself and family (and good friends). Do what you want with yours.

The landlord pays nothing since I pay rent to cover all those expenses dum dum

>I bought a magical paper that says you need to pay rent to me and fund my lifestyle
Ok bro, you're nothing but a middleman leech

I bet you feel quite safe on the internet and where you feel laws protect you but deep inside you know you're weak

I bought a house 2 years ago for 1.3M it's already valued at 1.8M. Quit bein such a whingy lil cunt.

Also I don't have a job anymore and just rent out rooms to friends.

This Brit gets it. One house that's fucking it

I have 8 houses in multiple countries, get mad.

I'm also prolly whiter than you. How you gonna side with some queen suckin brit who gets out-done by some 3rd worlders who can't even use toilets?

>Pass law forbidding foreigners from owning land
>Let the banks fail as they should
>All their holdings get liquidated
>Housing is actually affordable to a new generation
Landlords are a big reason cost of living is artificially high. Every business has to deal with the fact the more successful they become the higher the landlord is going to try to charge them.

People get paid on the value they bring and landlords bring housing which is valuable. Id say they contribute more than most people do honestly.

Yeah. Sure. Now pay your fucking rent rentcuck.

The landlord takes on ALL the risks for having tenants you stupid fuck. Labor does not make capital

I have 20 houses in 10 countries.

Or not having them

>don't rent to non whites
Wow so risky

Most cringeposters are foreign students from both coasts. It's 1:45am in Seattle so a Chink or Pajeet on Ritalin could be here easily.

My friend is white, and he's the schlubbiest, crusty motherfucker I ever met. He also rents a shitty filthy apartment he never cleans. Huh.

>purpose of landlords
So you can pay your rent with sex if you run out of money.

You buy something, can’t use it for one reason or another so you offer it to others to use for a fee. How is this a problem?
>inb4 muh slumlords and muh no rent control

damn straight

Yeah but is he really white... let's be honest

I'm split in that regard. Mostly due to my naive approach to humanity.
I rent a basement in a house with a family. That's OK. I pay them a (fair) rent for the privilege of living here, but without any of the hassle owning a home entails.
Those that take out mortages to buy apartments, houses and so on they don't live in, or live in a small portion of a large building renting out the rest are greed fucks who do it for profit, not a supplmemental income.

That's not to say if I had the money I'd do it myself.

Easy question.

>not getting literal free btc by hanging out on /b/ at the right time

I'm a 30 yr old tweeker that goes to city college for fun who happens to have had luck getting free money and does pretty ok at property acquisition.

I'd say i'm pretty typical for a /po/ poster sans the luck.

Idk, is the same as every honest person who succeeded in life and owns a property? Fuck of NEET cunts, go kys or get a useful degree instead of lesbian dance theory

If you were successful you wouldn't live in Poland.

Landlords add 0 value. They are pure rentier capitalist exploiters.

There is no need for a profit sucking leach to exist.

You don't need a landlord to have professional property management.

You don't need a landlord to hold housing equity and rent to people without access to large funds or credit, even in a market--a limited equity cooperative can take care of this.

The only reason landlords exist is local oligopolies on real estate and idiotic zoning laws limiting new construction.

If it weren't for those state enabled protections, limited equity coops would easily be able able to provide a greater quality of housing at a given price point and drive all landlords out of business.

We have them because someone asked to rent.
If everyone just buys their own homes, there aren't any.

you only use 7 tiles in scrabble you faggot

I guess you pay/payed the mortgage too then?

I'll give you a tl:dr :

Taxes are 6k per year +1k insurance + 500 water/sewage.

That's 7500 before any mortage issue or repair or tax increase.

7500 / 12 months = 625 a month

Do you think the landlord in that hypothetical should ask for more than $625 a month?

The answer is yes.

If he charges you $700 a month with those hypothetical costs the landlord only makes $900 a fucking year.

A fucking year.

jesus.. the property tax alone for the house im in now is $1200 a month, never mind utilities and repair/improvement costs.

Suprise, commies hate paying bills.

There is no state that protects landlords and landlords have little to no rights in any state court in the USA.

In point of fact, you can't even evict someone for months of delinquent rent without a court order, and even then they don't have to leave until the police physically drag them out, then they can sue you for lost property after being evicted.

Landlords have zero rights and/or protection in the USA.

For fucks sake, NYC, "the Jew Landlord Capitol of the World" has laws preventing landlords from evicting damn near anyone and rent control is their fucking canon dogma.

As usual, commies are full of shit.

Yup, all these commies need to realize that greedy politicians are causing all their problems, not capitalism, and not their landlords. Landlords get fucked harder than the common citizen.

Kampuchea wasn't even socialism. Pol Pot was actually against industry progress. He favoured people in the city going back to working as peasants.

hadn't thought of that
great point

We have land lords in the Netherlands?

yes?
are you 12?

yes, because landlord is huisbaas. and we have a ton of rental places. so a ton of moneygrabbing scamartists aswell

A builder builds a building in order to be paid for the land, labor, and materials, plus his profit. The landlord pays that builder what he wants for it in order to rent it out. No landlord, no buildings. Landlords provide you buildings.

Nope, just never had to deal with them.
I'm currently living in a complex owned by some german corporation.
Very nice, very cheap and modern. When something needs to be fixed i just send an email and they'll hire a company to fix it.

>profit
why does he deserve profit
>Landlords provide you buildings.
I thought the builder provided the building

But that's mostly "studenten huizen" right?
Normal rent housing is mostly owned by corporations right? Or am I actually retarded on this topic

studenthousing is way worse than regular housing, mainly because students don't know what right and are in too vulnerable of a situation to fight back, but regular renting also has this type of shit. just less because in general adults are in a stronger position to fight back

They're supposed to maintain the property, and that occasionally includes kicking out tenants.

They provide housing for those people too lazy and/or stupid to figure out how to buy a house of their own.
Not for free, that would make them stupid.
