This thread is for Landlords.
Anyone who is renting out their home, apartment etc is welcome.
For me this is a nice little side-income. If I had more properties I probably would’ve already made it but anyway.
Landlord thread.

The rent is too damn high!

Landlord here,

What do you guys do when you do an unexpected check on your tenants and you notice this girl keeps a hamster in a cage even when I have a clear no pets policy?

I was doing a check on this girl refugee from Mexico and noticed she had a hamster, she was i think at work or college or something so I just took it upon myself and flushed it and threw the cage out.

Now she is threatening to sue me

you fucked, reddit-spacer

It ain’t high enough.
Every day I find myself thinking of ways to raise it.
I keep hoping for events that might send it soaring sky high but, alas, nothing yet

>so I just took it upon myself and flushed it and threw the cage out.
KEK based retard
this is a big no no though I guess this also depends on the country and which area you’re in. I always include a clear no-pets clause in the contract, something along the lines of
>tenant shall not keep or allow any pets or animals on the premises during the lease, unless they have written permission from the landlord
If I catch someone breaking that, there’s options like either I terminate the lease if I think it’s going to be a problem but if it’s something small and harmless to the property and inside a cage like a hamster or a bird and I’m not in the mood to start looking for a new tenant right away, I just raise the rent. If they don’t like it, they can move out.
Had one guy sneak in a bird once and I let it slide but bumped the rent while I lined up a replacement.

Letting out a one small one-bed flat which I bought since I never wanted to pay rent again, but ended up just letting it out while living with parents. Metals and BTC savings have gotten high enough for a second 1-bed easy, but I'm hoping to add a 2-bed if I can wait a bit longer, which would let me FIRE a simple life in 1st world, or a decent life if LCOL.

Problem is I'm in the UK, which is rapidly disintegrating. I want to live in a white country, but the UK gov is openly hostile towards whites, so I'm debating my options.

Oh shit I'm sorry hahahahahaha not my problem

It's not our problem either. Insurance pays for it, so there's no real loss. What annoys me is that my parents literally do this in their own home. I told them not to, and explained why, but as boomers they don't care and have to pay the pump guy to clear the blocked pipes every 2 years.

I kinda regret becoming a landlord
Diversifying is good, real estate is a relatively safe investment and all that but it feels like this has been such a time drain
If I was to do it all over again I'd put my money in something I just need to buy, hold and sell
Managing a property and dealing with the tenants is not fun

>>60745803
Uh, yeah, not my problem too. That security deposit is now mine.

>>60745756
Why the fuck are you randomly going into peoples homes when they’re not home you fucking freak?

Also why flush the hamster when you could’ve blackmailed her for infinite blowjobs?

>>60745801
UK still has solid legal protections as far as I know but I’m not gonna pretend I know things when I don’t live there. strong property rights aren’t bad even if the country is heading towards the abyss.

>>60745943
Just to add though watching Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away! Does make me happy I’m not a landlord there.

>>60745934
This is fucking retarded in modern era because most people will film whatever they’re renting be it car or apartment the day they get in and the day they leave

If you did this to me I’d sue you, show police the footage, and have you pay me way beyond the deposit and I’d lmao my ass off as you got thrown in jail for fraud

>sister rented to Indians in her first investment property
>she found out
>contemplating knocking it down and subdividing the block as it's basically uninhabitle now or $50k+ in cleaning and replacing shit
