they used to have an on-call maintenance person that could unlock your apartment, but then a couple of years ago the leasing office that ran three buildings got bought by a bigger property management company that runs thousands

      I don't understand why you guys are flaming me. My house is used as a short term housing. I started doing it during covid for traveling nurses when nobody would rent to them. Then I still continued for people who were displaced. More recently I have someone from Maui and needed temporary housing while they were rebuilding their home.

      I would have sold it but only do this for tax purposes. I'm well below the market only covering my mortgage and taxes.

      Not all of us are assholes and leeches. There is clearly a need that hotels and Airbnb's are leeching over. Some of us care about our community and are not trying to better ourselves.

        Yes, all of you are leeches. You take another person's hard-earned money without doing anything to earn it. Owning something is not a job.

        If they're covering your mortgage, these people are buying you your house. Owning a house after a decade or two, even if you really did have nothing else earned in the meantime, is massive profit leeched from others.

        "I allow needy people to have food. I'm not like one of those greedy people who stand between good people and their needs. Just your humble, reasonable person who does the same."

        It's so tiresome.

        Were you born this much of a demon or was it a choice to remove the human parts of yourself?
