    This also succinctly shows how useless landlords are. The landlord died, but nobody even noticed for four years. Even workers, who are treated as expendable by capitalists, would at least have some phone calls from contacts as well as a wellness check before they look for a replacement if one didn't show up to work after suddenly dying.

      Dead or alive, nobody wants to find their landlord.

          Well, would you notice if your landlord died? As far as I know, my landlord is just a void in the universe that takes my money and does absolutely nothing.

              Yeah they had to be next level isolated. I'm pretty solitary but if I stopped communicating with my friends and family and stopped showing up to work someone would knock on my door after about a week.

          Lady wasn't found for over two years. quit her job, cut off contact with family and a charity paid all her bills for a while. After there was too much debt racked up, finally bailiffs knocked her door down and discovered her.

    Mouths of many residents of Adeosun/Idi Orogbo community in Apete area of Ido Local Government of Oyo State, were left wide open, just as the remains of a man, John Aderemi Abiola, one of the landlords in the community was found four years after his reported death.

    lol nice lede

    The incident was also confirmed by the central chairman of Adeosun/Idi Orogbo Landlords’ Association, Oluwafemi Omilana, saying the skeleton had not been removed because the community does not want to violate the law.

    omg it's still there

      You can rent this fine property out in the swamps for a mere $2500/month, plus an obligatory $1500 fee for the free snake, plus a $5000 bridge deposit :hahaha:

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

      After four years, its probably way easier than after a few weeks.
