I heard that the internet never forgots.
Rent seeking parasite FAFO
He deactivated his and his companyβs Twitter account. Remind him what a scumbag he his when he activates those accounts again in a month.
Does Lemmy have a reminder bot? This would be a good use for it.
Has he also deactivated his company's mailbox? I know stamps are more expensive than Facebook comments, but the cost to your soul is so much less.
I think the benefit to Facebook comments is that they're public. what's the benefit to writting a letter if other people can't see it?
I won't actually recommend doing so, but I've definitely contemplated sending glitter bombs to prior landlords who made up charges to withhold security deposits.
Nothing is stopping anyone from taking out a full page ad in a local newspaper and writing their letter that way. Otherwise, I agree, a letter would just wind up in the trash and probably cause the douchenozzle landlord to double down.
Well even a less-than-full-page ad would be good. Also a good way to supported journalism
I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.
We also didn't do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.
NIMRH Not in my rental house.
*NIMROD Not in my rented out domicile.
Tech entrepreneur Adam Malamis was well-known in Londonβs business and charitable sectors. He had been on the Chamber of Commerce board and recognized as a βTop 20 under 40β by London Inc. magazine. His web-development firm, Simalam, caters to non-profits and government agencies and he helped launch a nationwide volunteer snow-shovelling network described as βan experiment in kindness.β
It's often the ones courting attention and praise that turn out to be the biggest bastards.
The landlord has no shame - Karma is not a bad bitch sometimes. I am sure the landlord will suffer from his actions later in his life.
If only I believed in Karma.
Too many disgusting people get to die comfortable and old for me to ever have any hope.
Is there a way to know which charities and organizations he works with? It would be good if we all let them know what we think about their involvement with this scum bag
If you have a solidarity network in your city, join it and help them however you are able.
If you don't have a solidarity network where you are, consider attempting to form one.
The reason this kind of thing can happen unchallenged is because landlords know they can drag legal battles out in court with no other repercussions for a long time. Don't let them think that. Get involved, get organized.
I mean if he is actively lobbying the government to increase his taxes so that free housing is available, sounds like a good landlord
Until you learn they're ending homelessness by criminalizing vagrancy.
Well yeah, those vagrants effect his Airbnb business.
Yeah I guess it depends who they give money to
Rock and a hard place for me with this mentality. Exploit the weakness then close the gap. Shit itβs better than previous landlords. So the ball is rolling the direction we want. Maybe not at the right pace though.
I mean the landlord could also have a mortgage to pay. You have to evict at some point. But, ideally, the government would be able to step in, recognize the risk presented to the tenant, and either pay their rent or issue a moratorium on the mortgage so that they wouldn't be evicted.
If the landlord was trying to fight for such government support, then they're doing the right thing
Classic case of hating the game and not the player.
No such thing
Paywall. Suddenly I don't care.
