Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

This sort of landlord apologia isn't necessary and is actually harmful to the reputation of landlords like your parents, the OP's aunt, and their beneficiaries. You even managed to sneak some resentment towards tenants in there. Maybe after expenses the rental income was disappointing to them sometimes, but at the end of the day your parents owned other people's homes. Just be conscious of your station and have some quiet dignity about it.
This post is about the topic. I gave my opinion on it and why. I've done nothing to harm anyone, and I spoke about specific extremely shitty tenants.
I guess this is one of those cases where you decided a stranger is randomly lying and you know the real story. Have fun with that
Where did I say that you were lying?
This seems to imply that the tenants did nothing wrong, but we were mad we couldn't exploit them further. Which isn't true at all. I only mentioned the tenants behavior because I know that my parents gave them empathy and leeway and though there may have been some legit complaints against them (trust me my parents aren't perfect), I heard several crazy stories that for a small business owner who is being understanding and doing right by people, it comes off especially personal when those same people trash the apartment and then also don't pay thousands of dollars which they owed.
Tldr; some people are selfish and really suck to deal with and those people also end up renting apartments
I didn't imply that all tenants are perfectly well behaved. I implied that you a repeating the misconception that landlords provide housing, that they undertake a remarkable burden that makes them deserving of every cent of rental income they collect. It's a trope that elides the simple fact that renting housing is predicated not on any sort of actual work a landlord does, but rather the ability to withhold or take away housing from people. Stop pretending otherwise. Your parents are or were landlords. You dishonor them to try and sugarcoat it.
If I didn't think you were intentionally ignoring the point I would say you don't seem like a strong reader. I guess really what you're saying is that you're the horrible deadbeat tenant, needlessly destroying property and refusing to pay money you agreed to pay, and you're here trying to dress up being a shitty person in a pseudo intellectual argument. Otherwise it wouldn't really make sense for you to come along and strongly defend people that you literally only know are pieces of shit. Stellar priorities.
What kind of an idiot reads a story about blue collar workers getting people's home issues fixed at 1am and immediately responds LaNdLoRdS dO nO wOrK. Fucking pathetic brainrot bullshit. You are absolutely someone who would trash an apartment and fuck real people who you have pretended to be nice to out of $5000 and pretend you're morally justified.
Blocked.
I never said landlords do no work.
