    There's some loser saying "have fun renting from blackrock" to everyone bashing small landlords and like every big corporation I have rented from has always been better than small mom and pop landlords. Like theyre all evil but at least million dollar businesses will usually fix my appliances when they break.

        Yeah. My current one only has a $300 deposit and theyre the biggest landlord I've dealt with. Goes to show how little of an issue the costs of fixing a place are to them.

          When I rented with a corporation they returned my security deposit and the interest on my last month deposit. When I rented from a mom and pop place they refused to return my key deposit (after I returned the keys) because I broke one of their chairs. The chair was extremely old and my friend got injured when it collapsed as he was sitting on it. Fucking hate mom and pop places, I don't care if it's a landlord or a small business, always a bunch of penny pinching sociopaths who will fuck you over for the tiniest gain.

          Large corporations tend to have similar motivations, but they tend to at least be more fair as I imagine explicitly braking policies on an institutional level is too much of a risk.

            Yeah. I just got a reply from some small landlord bitching at me and claiming communists only care about ethical consumption when it relates to cell phones. Like theres no ethical person to rent a place from lmao.

      Threatening the peasants with the OG slumlords because they don't appreciate your feeble offerings.

      But the comparison doesn't make sense in this scenario. The landlord here was already using a rental agency. Like do these people not read?

        Go to the True Anon thread, its a weirdly low quality one for that sub. Lots of people who hate landlords but also weirdos defending them.

      holy shit, yes, I was going to start a discussion on this but I think I’m unironically blackrock gang.

      I will never afford a home period, why the fuck should I care if blackrock owns everything and it pisses off the petit boug? i’d rather have walmart be my landlord than some fucking boat dealer

        If anything it makes it easier to agitate when resources become increasingly concentrated. Not to be an accelerationist, but the less people having a false sense of solidarity with the owner class, saying shit like "but my auntie and uncle worked hard and they just rent out a duplex :(", the better.

        It's funny to see petit boug get owned and seethe, but as for BlackRock, you do not under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"
