Oddly the op doesnt mention anything about Russia or China but the comments do.
Also the contents of the link to "General trolling" are fucking hilarious. Those poor Canadian feelings :(((((
I kind of agree with our admins that we should have not been using PPB in other instances, but its funny that they mentioned it TWICE.
He was not a good landlord. He was maybe an otherwise cool guy and might have been doing his genuine best to fulfill his obligations (unlike most landlords) but he was still taking money from you for the use of your home. It's unjustifiable parasitism from the outset
This is admittedly pedantry, but I'm going to make the minor objection that, as an apartment-dweller, I don't think that an apartment is personal property. It is by it's nature an article of collective property, with specific rights of personal use attached to it. Basically like a common field.
This isn't an arguement in favor of landlordism (which should be obvious), I'm making the comment to make sure I am on the same page as everybody else.
I am living in a co-op housing build 50 years ago, we all are our landlords together. We save what is needed for repairs and a bit for new construction so other people can become our share land lords, too, but that is about it.
And that's why we need a land value tax, make the government parasite everyone equally!
