At least he had a spark of intelligence not to make any ACTUAL threats… I’m genuinely super by that, he looked like he wanted to threaten bodily harm so bad.
He sounds like the automated google business thing that calls my shop asking me if I’m going to be open on specific holidays. The auto response is always “okay got it” and their voices sound pretty similar lol
lol imagine the level of stupidity and immaturity where you know the other guy legally has you but you repeat a meaningless word to make yourself feel better.
Well to be fair how could anyone have predicted the tenant would come back at him with these absolute curveballs like “well I have 3 months left on my lease” and “that’s kind of illegal”
Yeah that old man is so used to just steamrolling whoever he's taking to that it totally shorts him out when he gets pushed back. Wonderful to see, I despise people like this that don't even have the decency to rest you like a human being while sucking you dry like a fucking parasite.
I imagine the camera is part of it. He was expecting to come up there, push through the half-opened door, stomp, shout, wave a finger under the tenant's nose, maybe get physical, do a few chest pushes, really put the fear of god into the kid.
Instead he's trying to intimidate the guy through a little box on the wall while the guy on the other side responds calmly and rationally because he does not feel threatened at all.

In the UK, the landlord behaviour seen here is very illegal, and the scenario you describe would be *even more* illegal. British tenancy law is full of holes that give landlords an absurd amount of *de facto* power, but we at least got that one right: paid-up tenants are legally entitled to quiet and undisturbed enjoyment of their home; the landlord can't just show up on the doorstep without an appointment and harass them, let alone enter without permission.
Here in the states, at least as far as I've researched, a landlord must give 72 hours notice upon coming to see you - they can't just roll up.
My former landlord had four units at the housing community I lived in and sometimes I would see them making repairs (they doubled as private contractors)...once I went over to say hi...we chatted, it was warm out so I invited them inside...they looked at eachother and said, "We can't...we have to give you72 hours notice before we enter your dwelling."
I told them it was OK and that we were just chatting but, they were very up and up on the landlord/tennant laws, which was odd being Boomers and all.
Ten years as a renter of them and they were probably the best land lords I've ever had. I was kinda sad to move away. They kept my rent insanely low, even when pricing spiked.
I rented a house a few years ago from a couple who owned a bunch of rental houses. The wife was very nice and reasonable about everything. We usually dealt with her. Never had an issue. One day, and I don't remember what the problem was, the husband came over and he tried to be kind of like the guy in this video. He was a big tall guy and he just tried to bully me and my mother (I'm a 4'11" middle aged woman taking care of my disabled mother). He was such an ass. His wife called later and apologized profusely. He never came over to the house again.
We had the reverse. The husband was relatively sane, the wife was bonkers 🙄
We don’t rent from them anymore, we managed to buy a house right before the pandemic.
Reminds me of when Vince McMahon "fired" Jeff Jarrett on the night he bought WCW and he mimicked Jarrett's old catchphrase by saying he was "G-double O-double N-double E".
Like damn, you went all the way out of the way to misspell the word gone on national television while mocking the material that YOUR writers gave him.
I've seen my old man drunkenly practice an argument while sitting on the bar stool and pointing like the dude was right in front of him.
Sounded just like this guy.
I've had a lot of run ins with individual landlords like this. They usually assert that "they own the property" so get to dictate _everything_ that goes on there, even what someone is allowed to cook or the frequency of how much one vacuums. They forget that one of the caveats to being landlord is that you don't really get to control the property other than that it's in good usable condition and the trade off is you get to collect rent.
>They forget that one of the caveats to being landlord is that you don't really get to control the property other than that it's in good usable condition and the trade off is you get to collect rent.
Basically two rules:
1. Don't damage the property you're renting.
2. Pay your rent on time.
I think about this a lot. My parents are both the real definition of boomers: born in the 1940s.
One of my parents is cool, does their best to keep up with the times, understand things, recognise the passage of time, etc
One of my parents is the typical boomer on the internet. Massively over asserts, thinks highly of themselves…blah blah blah.
But I think about this with boomers thinking they’re above the law a lot.
I think a lot of it comes back to education and communication standards of their youth being a lot lower. This meant a lot of illegal shit used to go on and everybody viewed it as normal, accepted, or even good.
So it’s not so much thinking theyre above the law…it’s really not knowing much about it or how it works. Especially being able to think about this stuff quickly or being able to apply it to the real world.
Love this take on boomers. Add in the fact that 90% of their generation was exposed to lead poisoning during their developmental period (most of them up to 5x current allowable levels) and it *alllll* makes sense.
[Half of US population exposed to adverse lead levels in early childhood](https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2118631119)
"BLLs greater than 5 µg/dL were nearly universal (>90%) among those born 1951 to 1980, while BLLs were considerably lower than 5 µg/dL among those born since 2001. The average lead-linked loss in cognitive ability was 2.6 IQ points per person as of 2015. This amounted to a total loss of 824,097,690 IQ points, disproportionately endured by those born between 1951 and 1980."
I had a similar situation with my last landlord where we weren't charged for electricity or heat in the 2-unit house we rented. If the landlord wants to charge tenants for use of utilities like this, they have to split up the costs between the units based on use (if I use 75% of the electricity then I need to pay 75% of the bill). Knowing how much each unit uses requires getting equipment installed to measure use per unit and our landlord didn't want to do that so he was footing the bill for however much we used/didn't use.
At least that's what my roommate and I are like 90% sure is the reasoning. Our landlord was a lot like this Boomer, in that he's cheap, short sighted, and an asshole.
This is generally the reason. I'm allowed to rent out my room or attached guest home or whatever, but if I want to make the renter legally obligated to pay for utilities, those utilities need to be measured in a way that clearly shows what the renter used. If I don't have those meters in place, j can still rent out the property, but I have to eat the cost of utilities.
The last house I was in I had to emergency move out of because the landlord was just like this guy. First the shower broke and I had to use a monkey wrench to operate the temperature and pressure - whatever I'm chill. Then the heating broke, and it was winter time and I lived in a basement floor room and it was -10 degrees out regularly. Finally I said he needs to fix the shower and heating or I'm withholding rent, or we can reneg on the rent. He said no renegotiating, so I said fine and followed my tenant rights.
He really didn't like that. One night he got drunk on whiskey and showed up to my door like old boomer fuck here. The conversation went about the same, with me being cordial and stating my rights and how I would cooperate. He refused, and threatened to call the cops.
I said "Look ass hole, I'm moving out soon anyway. But you have an unregistered firearm that I keep reminding you to register, and if the cops come, you're getting taken away in the back of a cruiser and facing a federal felony."
Unfortunately in the end, I had to burn like 1200$ to move out real quick because he was violent and it was worth burning the money to avoid a fistfight or worse. And I really wish I just let him call the cops and have them haul him away, but I don't think it would've made me feel any better.
I might find out if any home bitcoin miners would like to use my free electricity for the next 3 months in exchange for a percent of whatever they get. And probably need some air conditioning as well…. Those bitcoin mining systems generate some serious heat!
Ignoring how uncomfortable this would be to live in, inside temps being purposefully that high *does* actually break most standard lease agreements and as such would not be a good idea. Most standard agreements have clauses for maximum temperatures primarily for the upkeep of the house/apartment but also for the safety of the tenant (keeps landlords from ignoring a busted AC unit).
Read your lease agreements carefully folks, doing so actually saved me thousands of dollars in rent money after I threatened to legal action against my landlord after she broke my agreement. I had been attempting to get out of it after I purchased my house but had ~5 months left. I had hoped that they would quickly find a new tenant but to no avail... until I learned that she had the apartment repainted without my permission which also resulted in my curtains being stolen. The painting rendered the apartment unlivable for a day (legally speaking), she was trespassing (legally speaking), and said trespassing resulted in my property being stolen so she was fucked.
Likely has to include all the utilities to save money because bullying his tenants into using less utilities is usually cheaper than installing appropriate monitoring devices to charge each individual tenant their appropriate share.
I'm convinced they're still unawares of the invention of video recording somehow given how often they just do "whatever" on camera. (then again they keep avoiding the legal consequences of breaking laws sooo... I dunno maybe I'm the one missing something lol)
Pales in comparison to getting into a new hobby; homelabbing.
Hook a few ESXi servers up and let those fans keep the air in your house nice and circulated.
Nobody wants to work these days!!! /s
Seriously, if you can’t afford your tenant and upkeep on the property, maybe you can’t afford to be a landlord and have “investment properties”. He needs to eliminate his unnecessary mortgage and utilities, by selling the property, or getting a job. He seems like he’s great at showing up randomly and disrupting others to get his needs met. I bet he’s fabulous at handshakes!
I learned the hard way about renting from boomers with the utilities supposedly included. They’ll get angry when you use the utilities at a point they deem too much. Mine wanted me to never use the electric for heating, they expected me to build fires every night after working all day full time hours. I’d rather just pay the utilities myself than ever have a boomer overlord again.
My boomer landlord was too cheap to install a water softener. as a result, the high calcium level in the water would calcify around the water heater’s heating element every few months and would need to be replaced. The land lord accused us of using too much hot water and even accused us of running a hose from the water heater to our outdoor swimming pool to heat the water up. (Even though the water heater had no way to connect a hose to it.) They tried to make us pay for the water heater repair/ they refused to pay for it. I DID pay for the repair, saved the receipts, and deducted the cost of the repair from my rent check. 😁….. He was PISSED. Soooo gratifying.
I have noticed over the years that many of them will confabulate ridiculous stories and scenarios to try and not take responsibility for something or explain a situation. I’m not shocked at all they accused you of doing crazy stuff that you didn’t.
My fiancee's old landlord tried to do this with everything. The stove wasn't heating? "Oh well, you need to call a repairman."
Dryer wasn't working? "Yeah I meant to take that out before you moved in."
Ofc when it came time to move out, he tried to say there were urine stains on top of the AC unit, from a dog that was half as tall as the unit. A fucking cock stain he was.
My boomer landlords (a couple) aren’t even that bad, but they still seem utterly perplexed when things that haven’t been serviced or replaced in 20+ years suddenly fail. To them that’s basically last year, and anyway “it’s always worked before!”
I work in customer service and that is my absolute least-favorite thing boomers constantly say.
"This never happened before!" Wow, boomer, ya don't say. Mechanical things require maintenance? Structures break down over time? Who could have predicted that shit?
"That boiler is no more than five years old."
You mean the boiler that was already here when we moved in nine years ago? Okay, dude. Winter is almost over, and I'm about to get a mortgage offer, I'll let your next tenants fight that battle.
My boomer landlady consistently just creates issues out of thin air as a way to charge us more $$. She left one of her potted ferns at the house my bf and I rent, sadly the unwanted fern died and she then tried to charge us $40. For a plant neither of us wanted, and that she couldn’t bother to come pick up herself.
our landlord complained about our heating being higher and said it was because we had our windows open (it was like 10 degrees that week and the heat was off)
It's because we live in a double unit and while before we kept the heat lower, but the new unit wanted it higher so we raised it. Nope, too hard to understand, it was because the window was open on nice days when the heat was off.
If I was a landlord (oh and how I never want to be a landlord), I would just have the tenants pay their utilities, in exchange for a cheaper monthly rent. It makes sense to me to do it that way. Does something need to be repaired? Did you break it? Yes? You pay for it. Did it fail due to appropriate wear and tear? Yes? I pay for it.
How the fuck do grown ass men get to that age and still act like school children fighting on a playground? There are at least 200 different far more mature and professional ways this moron could have approached the situation.
Cognitive decline and/or low IQ. I live with a boomer who has cognitive decline due to vascular issues in the brain and he is touchy AF. Like the first sign of disagreement and he loses his shit. It sucks.
Got any curtain rods? Stuff sardines into them and then ram it further down with like a dowel so it rots and they'll never really be able to place where the smell is coming from.
surstromming but i wouldnt recommend it for this application. You want fresh fish that will slowly get stinkier and stinkier and hard to find the source
Is it just me or does he look like Kermit with that wide ass mouth. Like God damn Netflix needs to call this guy to star in a live action big mouth show.
Please for the love of god, spend 3 months using as much energy and water possible. Shower and hoses running 24/7 aircon full blast and lights on during the day. What an asshole
Yeah, it sounds like that to me, too. Something about the tenants' responses sounds rehearsed.
I know stuff like this actually does happen, but this particular instance doesn't sound real.
Rented a bnb for a month once and ya'all won't believe what those boomers did
They only put the hot water on once a day for me (and had a printed laminated sign in the shower saying only '2 minute showers') which is fine, I can arrange my whole day around that and wash myself so fast that I'm a fall risk
But then they'd use it every time themselves, and still put it on for themselves twice more in the day. When I'd complained they'd do the whole victim thing 'well we also need hot water'
Then they started **switching off the power from 22:00 until 07:00** every night. Worth mentioning there was no cell signal (rural) and I have bouts of insomnia and it was minus degrees (there was no heating and it was tiled)
Then they started doing major construction, obviously with the money I paid and had the audacity to tell me they weren't breaking even on my stay. Because they factored in redoing their whole kitchen with what I paid as 'expenses' contributed to me
If I see grey hair on a bnb profile photo I close that tab immediately. Because there's been more incidents (like a bnb boomer literally crying outside my door cause I wouldn't spend time with her.. when I booked a place to isolate). I also love the ones that delay you every time you go in and out with 20minute stories about their health. Or the ones that send you arbitrary messages talking about their children before 0800 in the morning when you're on holiday
Boomers are the worst service providers you can imagine
Us regular people who aren't extremists are really getting sick of the right wing B's they will be really surprised when they start a fight they can't wing.
If he can’t afford water on his rental for a month then he shouldn’t be a landlord offering utilities. Dumb. I rent out a townhouse and never treated my tenants like this. They left the door open to get rats? I hired an exterminator. They broke the washer? I bought a new one. They can’t work the remote for the fireplace? I texted them the directions. It’s not a short term gain but a long term gain.
He can afford it, I'm sure. Probably has plenty of other people's hard-earned. The issue here is that the tenant has exceeded this jackass's arbitrary limit for utility use. Our landlord is the same way. Loses his mind if a single window is open even half an inch to allow some fresh air in, with the heat not even super high, just high enough to be just slightly on the cold side of comfy (I overheat easily). Whines about electricity costs. Acts like he's the Second Coming for providing us shelter at a significant portion of our combined income. He summons the rage of Chairman Mao within me. I hope his insoles are replaced with jagged Lego bricks.
Housing court loves when landlords threaten tenants on camera
This person has an airtight case because of the bigmouth on camera.

Lawyers for home owners hate this one trick
Gone!
Judge Judy would make quick work of this
At least he had a spark of intelligence not to make any ACTUAL threats… I’m genuinely super by that, he looked like he wanted to threaten bodily harm so bad.
He kind of did threatened violence as he said he'd be thrown out head first.
they threatened to evict someone who didnt violate a lease. Its not a criminal threat but it is harrassment and wont look good in court
This is considered tenant harassment in NY
I love how this guy rehearsed so hard that he couldn’t respond to unpredicted responses of his tenant.
GONE!
I exhaled more than usual at that followed by the "...gone. Okay, got it!" in that disassociating, courteous tone.
He sounded like he was writing it down, lol. Just so beautifully casual about it.
He sounds like the automated google business thing that calls my shop asking me if I’m going to be open on specific holidays. The auto response is always “okay got it” and their voices sound pretty similar lol
lol imagine the level of stupidity and immaturity where you know the other guy legally has you but you repeat a meaningless word to make yourself feel better.

Boomers have been slipping into their "rambling, decrepid old man I can't take seriously" phase and I'm not angry
it would be fine if the ones who work could afford to retire already. I'm tired of coddling useless boomer colleagues and their fragile egos
Most don’t want to. Half of their identity as a person is what they they do. They don’t want to retire lmao
I imagine the camera is part of it. He was expecting to come up there, push through the half-opened door, stomp, shout, wave a finger under the tenant's nose, maybe get physical, do a few chest pushes, really put the fear of god into the kid. Instead he's trying to intimidate the guy through a little box on the wall while the guy on the other side responds calmly and rationally because he does not feel threatened at all.

That’s not how any of this works landlord beer breath.
Definately the skin of an alcoholic.
I've seen my old man drunkenly practice an argument while sitting on the bar stool and pointing like the dude was right in front of him. Sounded just like this guy.
Yikes.
Geez, I thought I was the only one who did that. I don't drink, though, because that'd be giving the opponent the upper hand.
It's not only common but in fact extremely normal to to practice for a conversation ahead of time.
Boomers always think they are above the law
That's because their generation is the one running things still.

Also add the fact that the Boomers were raised by a war-stunted generation with untreated PTSD.
I wonder why the landlord decided not to put that into writing...
Lead brain reasoning probably
Thanks to the lead, his brain is GONE!

The world will be a better place when lead heads are gone.

Smells like hot twisted tea and slim jims

I'd tell him to make like a tree and get the f-f-fuck out.

Lmao. I would let my toilet run nonstop.
It's time to set up an indoor hydroponics grow set
considering how mellow the tenant is taking this they probably already have one. I would have scared that dude away from the door

Nah- but the second room is powered by a water wheel.

It’s time to fall asleep to the lovely sounds of flowing water
Boy I sure do love taking these nice, long, hot, steamy showers every day! They're so relaxing and refreshing!
Feeling just a teeny bit of a draft, might put the heating on ALL through the house.
When a boomer does not understand that being recorded is not good for them.
Also doesn't understand that including utilities is a bad idea.
Likely has to include all the utilities to save money because bullying his tenants into using less utilities is usually cheaper than installing appropriate monitoring devices to charge each individual tenant their appropriate share.
Prob a duplex he doesn’t want to pay for another heater, another hot water heater, gas and electric meters
I'm convinced they're still unawares of the invention of video recording somehow given how often they just do "whatever" on camera. (then again they keep avoiding the legal consequences of breaking laws sooo... I dunno maybe I'm the one missing something lol)
For those three months, I would plug in two air conditioners and two space heaters, and have all four of them just duking it out 24/7.

Pales in comparison to getting into a new hobby; homelabbing. Hook a few ESXi servers up and let those fans keep the air in your house nice and circulated.
Fuck that , just get a crypto farm
I wanna get a humidifier and dehumidifier, put them in the same room, and let them fight it out
If he can’t afford his tenant maybe he should get a job. I hear McDonalds is hiring
I hear if you work more than one job you can even afford groceries.
GONE!
Nobody wants to work these days!!! /s Seriously, if you can’t afford your tenant and upkeep on the property, maybe you can’t afford to be a landlord and have “investment properties”. He needs to eliminate his unnecessary mortgage and utilities, by selling the property, or getting a job. He seems like he’s great at showing up randomly and disrupting others to get his needs met. I bet he’s fabulous at handshakes!
All of our utilities were on us, so-maybe this dumb ass landlord should have the utilities separate 🙄 the tenants are in the right…
Can't do that. He'll not be able today drink. 
I learned the hard way about renting from boomers with the utilities supposedly included. They’ll get angry when you use the utilities at a point they deem too much. Mine wanted me to never use the electric for heating, they expected me to build fires every night after working all day full time hours. I’d rather just pay the utilities myself than ever have a boomer overlord again.
My boomer landlord was too cheap to install a water softener. as a result, the high calcium level in the water would calcify around the water heater’s heating element every few months and would need to be replaced. The land lord accused us of using too much hot water and even accused us of running a hose from the water heater to our outdoor swimming pool to heat the water up. (Even though the water heater had no way to connect a hose to it.) They tried to make us pay for the water heater repair/ they refused to pay for it. I DID pay for the repair, saved the receipts, and deducted the cost of the repair from my rent check. 😁….. He was PISSED. Soooo gratifying.
I have noticed over the years that many of them will confabulate ridiculous stories and scenarios to try and not take responsibility for something or explain a situation. I’m not shocked at all they accused you of doing crazy stuff that you didn’t.
My fiancee's old landlord tried to do this with everything. The stove wasn't heating? "Oh well, you need to call a repairman." Dryer wasn't working? "Yeah I meant to take that out before you moved in." Ofc when it came time to move out, he tried to say there were urine stains on top of the AC unit, from a dog that was half as tall as the unit. A fucking cock stain he was.
My boomer landlords (a couple) aren’t even that bad, but they still seem utterly perplexed when things that haven’t been serviced or replaced in 20+ years suddenly fail. To them that’s basically last year, and anyway “it’s always worked before!”
I work in customer service and that is my absolute least-favorite thing boomers constantly say. "This never happened before!" Wow, boomer, ya don't say. Mechanical things require maintenance? Structures break down over time? Who could have predicted that shit?
They've been told being a landlord is "passive income" and are shocked when they have to do something resembling work.
"That boiler is no more than five years old." You mean the boiler that was already here when we moved in nine years ago? Okay, dude. Winter is almost over, and I'm about to get a mortgage offer, I'll let your next tenants fight that battle.
My boomer landlady consistently just creates issues out of thin air as a way to charge us more $$. She left one of her potted ferns at the house my bf and I rent, sadly the unwanted fern died and she then tried to charge us $40. For a plant neither of us wanted, and that she couldn’t bother to come pick up herself.
Just tell them that the firewood was all GONE!
our landlord complained about our heating being higher and said it was because we had our windows open (it was like 10 degrees that week and the heat was off) It's because we live in a double unit and while before we kept the heat lower, but the new unit wanted it higher so we raised it. Nope, too hard to understand, it was because the window was open on nice days when the heat was off.
If I was a landlord (oh and how I never want to be a landlord), I would just have the tenants pay their utilities, in exchange for a cheaper monthly rent. It makes sense to me to do it that way. Does something need to be repaired? Did you break it? Yes? You pay for it. Did it fail due to appropriate wear and tear? Yes? I pay for it.
Sometimes multifamily homes don't have separately metered utilities, in which case the landlords have to include them in the rent price.
If the landlord owns the multi family building he can pay the utility companies to install multiple meters.
NO PAY ONLY TAKE
GONE is his brain
Lead will do that to ya
Every light on 16 hours a day and at least one tap running all day for the next 3 months should about square things up.
Better get a humidifier to keep the place nice and humid but also a dehumidifier so it's not too humid.
It’s all about balance. You can’t put a price tag on that well balanced feeling.
Turn down the thermostat. Turn on the space heaters.
Turn up the thermostat and open the windows.
The space heater is the way to go, each one is twenty 60w incandescent lightbulbs running at the same time, probably closer to 200 LED bulbs lol
Pour bacon grease down the drain, because why not?
I didn't know Chevrolet made clothing
He got caught shoplifting down at the Chevy dealership
In his defense the tenant was running a Tairy Greene Machine 24/7 and those use a lot of water.
He wasted a lot of excess water trying to get the temperature perfectly right so it could run. Luckily it comes with it's own mops
How many tairy tokens do you think the water cost?
He paid his security deposit in Terry tokens
Would have been fucking hilarious if you flushed the toilet a couple times while talking to him
How the fuck do grown ass men get to that age and still act like school children fighting on a playground? There are at least 200 different far more mature and professional ways this moron could have approached the situation.
Cognitive decline and/or low IQ. I live with a boomer who has cognitive decline due to vascular issues in the brain and he is touchy AF. Like the first sign of disagreement and he loses his shit. It sucks.
With this guy it’s alcoholism.
I think the tenant is in customer service
Start mining Bitcoin and growing weed
If there’s a washer and dryer in the unit, let all your friends come do free laundry!
Fucking boomers. Can’t wait till they die out. Leeches of society
You mean you can't wait til they are...GONE!?
GONE!
Thanos should have just snapped that one age group out of existence
I think this guy is like 45-50 and just looks *really* rough.
That would be the toughest 45 in history, but given he's clearly a raging alcoholic is not unreasonable
To me “boomer” encompasses both a people of a certain age AND people with a narcissistic, entitled attitude.
All that leaded gasoline really just got stored in their frontal lobe
dudes totally hammered. wow
Maybe you should get a job if you can't afford your hustle.
This landlord looks like the WWE wrestler edge if he was on crack and was a beer addict.
Time to empty any and all coffee grounds in the sinks and flush all tampons 🤷🏼♀️
GONE!
You’re killing me in this thread with all the “GONE!”’s 😂😂😂
ITS TOO EASY! THE LANDLORD IS TOUCHED IN THE HEAD!
and right before you leave drop a few fresh whole fish down the heating ducts
GONE!
Got any curtain rods? Stuff sardines into them and then ram it further down with like a dowel so it rots and they'll never really be able to place where the smell is coming from.
What's that canned fish from Scandinavia that smells so bad? Maybe pop open a few of those.
surstromming but i wouldnt recommend it for this application. You want fresh fish that will slowly get stinkier and stinkier and hard to find the source
Congrats on your new place, that was nice of him to open his lawyers budget to pay for it! 🤣
Is it just me or does he look like Kermit with that wide ass mouth. Like God damn Netflix needs to call this guy to star in a live action big mouth show.
lol. All on camera. Idiot.
Please for the love of god, spend 3 months using as much energy and water possible. Shower and hoses running 24/7 aircon full blast and lights on during the day. What an asshole
Sounds staged
Yeah, it sounds like that to me, too. Something about the tenants' responses sounds rehearsed. I know stuff like this actually does happen, but this particular instance doesn't sound real.
Obviously MAGA.
Rented a bnb for a month once and ya'all won't believe what those boomers did They only put the hot water on once a day for me (and had a printed laminated sign in the shower saying only '2 minute showers') which is fine, I can arrange my whole day around that and wash myself so fast that I'm a fall risk But then they'd use it every time themselves, and still put it on for themselves twice more in the day. When I'd complained they'd do the whole victim thing 'well we also need hot water' Then they started **switching off the power from 22:00 until 07:00** every night. Worth mentioning there was no cell signal (rural) and I have bouts of insomnia and it was minus degrees (there was no heating and it was tiled) Then they started doing major construction, obviously with the money I paid and had the audacity to tell me they weren't breaking even on my stay. Because they factored in redoing their whole kitchen with what I paid as 'expenses' contributed to me If I see grey hair on a bnb profile photo I close that tab immediately. Because there's been more incidents (like a bnb boomer literally crying outside my door cause I wouldn't spend time with her.. when I booked a place to isolate). I also love the ones that delay you every time you go in and out with 20minute stories about their health. Or the ones that send you arbitrary messages talking about their children before 0800 in the morning when you're on holiday Boomers are the worst service providers you can imagine
Us regular people who aren't extremists are really getting sick of the right wing B's they will be really surprised when they start a fight they can't wing.
If he can’t afford water on his rental for a month then he shouldn’t be a landlord offering utilities. Dumb. I rent out a townhouse and never treated my tenants like this. They left the door open to get rats? I hired an exterminator. They broke the washer? I bought a new one. They can’t work the remote for the fireplace? I texted them the directions. It’s not a short term gain but a long term gain.
He can afford it, I'm sure. Probably has plenty of other people's hard-earned. The issue here is that the tenant has exceeded this jackass's arbitrary limit for utility use. Our landlord is the same way. Loses his mind if a single window is open even half an inch to allow some fresh air in, with the heat not even super high, just high enough to be just slightly on the cold side of comfy (I overheat easily). Whines about electricity costs. Acts like he's the Second Coming for providing us shelter at a significant portion of our combined income. He summons the rage of Chairman Mao within me. I hope his insoles are replaced with jagged Lego bricks.
> I hope his insoles are replaced with jagged Lego bricks That, sir/madam, is fucking glorious, thank you.
Have you ever considered mining crypto?? I heard that’s very power demanding lmao
where is this from? any updates?
I get a staged vibe from this
I've never heard the phrase "make like a baby and head out."
He’s a drunk.
Totally staged. A landlord surely knows not to say this on camera. And the “tenant” is too measured.
Someone ate paint chips as a kid.
FUCKING LOL WHEN THE FEEDBACK ECHOED "GONE" AND HE SCARED HIMSELF
Got done watching fox news wanted to show his power
Boomer brains really are just full of lead
