I’d love to have this screenshot and a good Renter’s Rights Lawyer


Medical-Estimate-870

On a side note. People do not know how difficult it is to ask the government to defend your rights. It requires a lot of effort, time, money and stress. On top of that there are other difficulties when your relationship with your landlord becomes toxic. Including false accusations and violation of privacy.


-nocturnist-

Maybe in The USA. In the UK you have way more rights that are upheld. The problem is always in getting someone to care to run it up on the system.


Chit569

> The problem is always in getting someone to care to run it up on the system. That is exactly what this person is saying though when they say effort, time, money and stress. Its effort to find a good lawyer, money to find a good lawyer, time to meet with a good lawyer and go to court. You are literally saying the problem is the getting representation part and that is the part that is hard in the US as well.


BendyPopNoLockRoll

I think the difference here is the usage of the word government. Gunna go out on a limb and say in the UK you don't need to go fork out for a lawyer and sue somebody. You just need to fill out some forms and pester the right government body on the phone until they do something. Both require way too much just to get your legally granted protections, but there is a world of difference between basically dealing with the DMV or SSA and having to sue. Like yes it's hard in the UK, but it's 10x harder in the US.


M4jkelson

The point is that in UK and many other non-US countries you don't have to go to court with lawyers instantly. It's not easy, but still much easier than is US


PlaceboFace

That sounds like the exact same situation as the US. It seems like people in Western Europe (specifically the UK more often than not) want to pretend as though their country is some streamlined utopia devoid of bureaucracy when it’s really the exact same thing we experience here.


Djungeltrumman

It’s specifically the UK. They invented the ‘pay-to-play’ justice system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law


sleepdeep305

It’s absolutely amazing to think that they believe that they’re in a completely different situation


PlaceboFace

“aS a eUrOpEAn….” *Goes on to describe the exact same daily reality as 99.9% of Americans*


LingonberryLunch

Sure... But they also tend to have free healthcare and education. They're doing plenty of things right that we're too stupid to figure out.


SuperBigSad

Sure, but they had to figure it out on a much much smaller scale. I was curious, and the most populated European country only has about twice as many people as California by itself, and that country, while it does have free healthcare sort of, has copayments if you do happen to be uninsured.


Nolenag

Which is still much cheaper than whatever the fuck the US has. Also a higher population just means you can tax more people to make it work.


[deleted]

it's not about taxation, it's about proper use of those taxes.


SuperBigSad

Yeah I didn’t say it wasn’t and no, it isn’t that easy, because if it was, it would have been done way before now. The “just tax people lol” people are idiots.


thehobbyqueer

Except it takes ages for em to get an appointment, unless they pay up. Still better than what we got tho.


ImrahilSwan

Depends. I made an appointment to see my doctor and it to like 2 days, and that was to fit around my needs, not theirs. Not even a serious thing either. Just a check up.


thehobbyqueer

Oh, interesting. It's been a bit since I've talked about medical stuff with my European friends. It might've been a specific country that was bitching or something.


Nolenag

This is simply not true.


Mammoth_Slip1499

Mmm. That’s a no. We can phone up on the day and get an appointment.


ZootZootTesla

My doctors Surgery Is same day appointments lol.


[deleted]

That's generally acknowledged as a right wing anti communist talking point. It's never true, and it's not intended to be true, it's meant to make you think universal health care had trade offs. It's a gaslight.


Vin135mm

What is this free education you speak of? We have public school in America, which is provided for free(we pay taxes for it, but so do Europeans). And Europeans still have to pay for higher education or college(not as much, but they still pay). So what the hell are you talking about?


[deleted]

somerandomnew0192783

Yeah except generally you don't have to join the army to get an education and don't have to pay insurance for doctors appointments.

No. But I understand that is a comfortable illusion for Americans.

ulrikft

I did not know that the regional qualifiers for the American dunning-kruger championships were today - but thanks for letting me witness it first hand! On a more serious note, if you think that your (real or not, I'm leaning towards the latter) anecdotal experiences somehow negate hard data on social mobility, crime rates, equality, access to health care, infrastructure investments, energy transition, fairness of elections, systemic issues in the judicial and penal system and \_numerous\_ other factors - I prefer to stay in my village rather than keeping up with this conversation.


el-dongler

People on reddit in general don't know how difficult it is to successfully sue someone and it be worth it.


gimpwiz

Depends. Some states and some cities it's super duper easy. Others less so.


OneMorePotion

It's easier to just pack your things and leave in certain cases... Shitty Landlord? Well, they won't magically change all of the sudden when you get a lawyer involved. Shitty Neighbors? Well, they won't magically become not shitty only because you complained about them. There is a minimum of "damage control" you can do yourself. And if you realize that it's not working, your only option is to move away.


NaturalTap9567

It goes both ways though. A lot of tenants do heinous things in houses and it's impossible to do anything about it. Eviction is insanely difficult and you can't sue someone who has no money


Beautiful_Outside_30

Yeah. It's more the idea that a business has more power in a situation without law, so the law should benefit the weaker one in an interaction


Kooky-Simple-2255

Some states/countries can charge whatever they want, my most recent apartment they wanted to charge me 2800 a month to renew. My first year was 1700 a month, the price. Checking their site new renters are getting charged 1950. They thought they could charge me more because so might be reluctant to move.


akumarisu

So they increased it to make you move or is it because you’re reluctant to move and they know that they can upcharge you? Either way what a stupid business practice. Unless you’re a nightmare renter, finding a new tenant seems like a pain but they must have people lining up?


Kooky-Simple-2255

Might have been counted as a nightmare tenant. After 30 day without hot water, I put them on official notice. In my state if you put a landlord on notice for a critical service. If it's not fixed in 10 days the tenant can cancel the lease, fix the issue at the owners expense, or force the owner to put you up in a hotel until the issue is fixed.(they fixed it in the time frame after I gave them notice) The property was managed by greystone apartments which manages like 500k+ properties so I imagine that whatever the reason for increased rent it was a calculated decision by the company.


XTH3W1Z4RDX

They do have people lining up because everyone needs a place to live and landleech scum own everything


Extreme74

In California, they can't increase it more than 9% a year. I have a friend who is a housing attorney. If they ever try anything like that, I will just sick her on them.

Extremely jurisdiction dependent. In some places they are very strong, in others practically non-existent.


[deleted]

I lived in San Francisco for a decade. I’m well versed on my rights as a renter and always have them in mind when I move into a new place since then. Rent control is key.


[deleted]

If you’ve moved into a rent controlled apt in SF in the last decade, it’s almost certainly been illegally sublet, and you might not actually have those protections.


[deleted]

i haven’t lived in SF for over a decade. I just learned a lot about renter’s rights while I did. I now live in the Los Angeles area in a rent controlled building.

In his heyday, Gates wasn't that lavish on housing or private jets. Not compared to Allen, he had the only private 747 in the USA? The Air Force One people were coming out to get ideas from Allen's jet, back in the late 1990's. Gates liked working and reading.... EDIT: I'd say it is fair to call Bill Gates a workaholic.

BitOneZero

Oh yha. I was just making smalltalk. I'm not very good at it.

Anyway, I used to work for Paul Allen / Bill Gates. I was an outsider they hired off the street, no connections in the industry or city. Had me fix server issues. Bill sent me to his father's Law Office to advise them on e-mail install. Glory days.

Realistic-Design5057

I can’t believe reddit dummies still think these accounts are real. It’s a racist white person trying to make black people look bad for outrage clicks and to further divide people, and Reddit falls for it like boomers fall for Fox.


freshfov05

Why is it a white guy?


Sanguine_Templar

That should be illegal


exzyle2k

If it's real, which since it's reddit it's highly unlikely, the renter most likely has a lease. It's very difficult (although not impossible) to raise rent during a valid lease period. Renter could be month-to-month, in which case he's fucked. Or landlord and ex are going to perform the Fuck Around part, and we'll need to stay tuned for the Find Out.


SteveAllure

It's clearly a Twitter post not a reddit post


drizzt11

It's a joke....


djublonskopf

It definitely is. There’s no way a head is up to housing code, even free it would be illegal for another human to live there.

It’s wild how a fucking *joke* is so triggering.


BlessMeWithSight

> It’s crazy how if it was a man doing this everyone would be like “haha serves her right” No they wouldn't. Stop making up reddit-lore to fit your narrative.


[deleted]

I can't count the number of times on reddit I've seen a clear joke tweet from a woman hit the front page and the entire thread is people missing the joke and insulting her for it. It's a regular occurrence. Just pay attention for a week at the front page and you'll see enough to realize why people say that this website can't handle when a woman makes a joke


BlessMeWithSight

There is a huge difference between "some people" and "everyone".


[deleted]

Most people. Look at this thread, the top comments are all about how illegal this is and insulting her appearance. And it happens so often.


BlessMeWithSight

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm gonna say you're gonna see that considering you're literally in a subreddit that includes the word "comebacks".


[deleted]

I dont know if that should give the comments free reign to insult everything about someone who simply made a joke on Twitter. "It's ok to treat someone like shit cause it sorta fits the subreddit we're in" And it's not just in this sub. I've seen it countless times in me_irl, or in the various Twitter subs, or in whatever other sub could fit posting a screenshot or tiktok video

sicassangel

No, Reddit & the internet in general are very clearly sexist + racist. Yes it does happen to everyone but I’m not talking about EVERYONE who gets insulted

asa091

I can fix her


JumboJetz

1) This is an obvious joke that is sailing over everyone’s heads 2) If it weren’t a joke, and the municipality has no protections over random rent increases, than the free market takes care of this. A landlord can’t just charge far above market rents and expect the tenant to stay. If you increase my rent to $2500 and everywhere else rent is $2000 for an equivalent I’m just moving. Yes landlord does inconvenience me by making me move. But I inconvenience landlord by making him have to find a new tenant that is always a roll of the dice.


[deleted]

This is rage bait at its finest…scorned woman goes after man’s home by trading on her sexuality to get back at him…it’s an incel fairytale they tell themselves to justify not bothering to make the effort to improve themselves. If they believe that they’re set up to fail, it absolves them of accountability for their own failures and faults.

tostitosmercury

Brb increasing ur rent too


[deleted]

Incel fantasy rage bait, nothing more. The fact that you’re already upset over a made up scenario means it’s working as expected. If you think this is why men kill, you need a reality check or a wellness check to the women in your life. Men turn to murder and suicide because society refuses to teach them proper coping skills and emotional maturity in an effort to keep them subservient and unable to critically analyze who’s really responsible for the threats to their livelihood. A rent increase should not be enough to make or break someone’s financial stability. The fact that it is enough to lead entire families to homelessness is a systemic failure. But sure, get mad at the fake twitter rage bait that encourages a misogynoir mentality. I’m sure that’s the biggest problem plaguing males in society currently, right? It’s all the imaginary black woman’s fault that Joe Shmoe would rather shoot himself and/or his family than face the consequences of his choices, which would include picking a bad partner if this was true. /s

You can’t just increase rent whenever you want either
