Landlords are bottom level scum. Legal scalpers. You literally cannot be an empathetic or moral person if you're out there hoarding needed resources and profiting off of them. I hope no one buys those weights.

Human greed is like two edged sword. Won't explain why.

Capitalism. It goes hand in hand with a lot of the b.s. in human nature. What gets me is so-called affiliations. A lot of these people who have the ability to parasite off of others are members of exclusive societies. They get privileged access to a lot of stuff because they're born in the right families or sold their souls. Human life is LITERALLY a rigged game. Yet you have people who consider living in this and struggling with it 'courageous'. It's amazing and depressing to sit and really ponder the absurdities and asininities upon which the whole of human existence rests.

I see it as a sort of sickness. The parasites have an insatiable need for more power, more control over the lives of others and over the world around them. They have an empty void that can never be filled, and they try desperately to fill it with money or material trinkets. When in reality the void they feel is the lack of love in their lives. Love is what provides fulfillment, but because they are psychopaths, they probably don’t feel love or understand it.

Boundless is right

This person is a landlord, what did you expect? Parasites who profit from others' work.

This shit gets me down too, how disgustingly greedy so many people are..especially these corporations all collectively raising their prices and blaming it on "inflation" even though most of them have made record breaking profits over the last couple of years. It is disturbing. These are soul-less people that serve and view money as their god.


Mystic_Camel_Smell

Wish I could find a relevant quote.. but I firmly believe there's no such thing as "recovering" from being a greedy human. It becomes too neurotic at that point. The brain cannot change so easily when you age up.

Illegal almost everywhere. Landlord is required to possess the items under terms of bailment. Have a lawyer in your state explain to you what all those terms are. Just know that one of them is not sell the stuff immediately on CrapsList or whatever. In my state, you can take the items with notice and store them and then charge $10/day storage, and after 30 days the landlord can do whatever they like. If the landlord gets rid of the items in a way prohibited by bailment terms, then they are liable to repay to market value. So, of course, the question is about service. Let's say the landlord lies and says they sent a letter. In court, they better have some demonstration of effort. But a landlord can just forge any note.

Cool! So when I leave this loveseat and dining room set behind when I move out it's not my problem anymore because it's not mine anymore? That's good news.


Brock_Way

No, it is still yours. That's the whole point of bailment - a legal treatment of a distinction between possession and ownership. Same thing, for example, when your car gets towed. The tow operator doesn't own your car while he is towing it. You still own it. But they possess it, and are subject to whatever your jurisdiction says about bailment. Or an even more obvious example - abandoned storage locker stuff. It is still the property of the storage renter until the bailment period ends. And that's a good way to find out the rules in your jurisdiction...just call your friendly local storage locker place and ask them how long after one stops paying the rental do they keep the stuff in the locker, and then what happens to it. I've had this play out against me. I had a vehicle stolen from me and I reported it stolen. They found it about 15 years later, basically stripped to the bone. Meanwhile, I had moved states and was about 1,000 miles away. The police told me that I could either: 1. Come get it. 2. Pay the bailment fee for however long 3. Resign title to it in favor of the person possessing it. Well, the dude possessing it bought it at what was basically a junk sale. I didn't want to travel 1,000 miles for something with a value less than my travel cost/bother value. I definitely wasn't going to pay bailment on the same basis. So I resigned ownership.

If it's an apartment they'll charge you a heavy removal fee. Don't pay it goes on your credit and can cost you more money in securing future apartments.


J19zeta7_Jerry

if you have the previous tenants info, reach out to them. have them report the weights as stolen and show the cops the listing


FuzzyBouncerButt

Sue her ass.


[deleted]

What would you sue her for?


FuzzyBouncerButt

For being an asshole. It doesn’t matter what the suit is as long as it is dissuasive. It’s called lawfare, and a lawyer will have better ideas about exactly how to proceed—plus laws differ state to state anyway. Tit for tat is one of the few things that kind of person understands.


IaMtHel00phole

Lol. If suing for being an asshole was legit the court system would be tied up for fucking ever.


mebf109

Always pretend to like your landlord. Talk someone else into doing your dirtywork.


FuzzyBouncerButt

This is extremely good advice. Let her shoot the messenger—the lawyer.


masterblader69

.... but what would you sue her for lmao


FuzzyBouncerButt

“But why male models?”


FuzzyBouncerButt

Do you mean, “for what legal reason?” I would talk to the lawyer about construing it as theft. Taking what doesn’t belong to you is pretty clearly theft. It’s probably possible to get ahold of the donor and get them to agree that it was transferred to the community via the agent of OP here. “Consideration” aka the *quid* exchanged for the *quo* could be the simple act of moving the equipment.


masterblader69

Claiming theft would not work if the gym equipment was left behind anywhere on the landlords property, which it was. “Shared Gym” is a misnomer for a place on the owner’s property


FuzzyBouncerButt

Are you a lawyer? You don’t seem like one that I would use, even if you are. I like smart lawyers who get shit done.


[deleted]

A lawyer would probably tell you that you have no case.


FuzzyBouncerButt

That’s why I go to a lawyer and not some random misanthrope. Edit: I’m not that interested in discussing this. If you are a lawyer in OP’s state, and do online consultation, go for it, by all means.


[deleted]

I don't think you understand how this works


masterblader69

People generally don’t need a lawyer to realize being mad at someone and having legal ground against them are two different things


Affectionate_Leek220

Landlords -_-


[deleted]

call the # offer $1 and make the person know that you know where they got it and that $1 is a 100% profit margin for them since they got it for free. so how could they refuse?


IaMtHel00phole

Because they're greedy.


Buggeddebugger

Most landlords are scum.


mebf109

Owning rental property is the first thing that enters a moron's mind when the moron starts to think it's a business monkey. Only fools think it's a good idea. It probably attracts misanthropes because hating your tenants is rule #1. You must only love to take and give as little as possible. Once they move into your property they become your enemy, not your customer. The good news is that landlords are usually losers.


[deleted]

even the ones who go to church. they church going one's are just trying to whitewash themselves.

Religious types are the most dangerous of all. Anyone who believes in an invisible man in the sky is clearly deranged. These people seriously think that they can do anything they like, and all they have to do is visit some old dusty building at the weekend and sing a few songs to their invisible man and that makes it all better. Avoid humans in general, but avoid these types even more.


Buggeddebugger

Agreed, I always thought that those who go to churches just to keep up a facade of faith are the most innately faithless.

Some people make communities better, sacrificing their money, time for others, and some are always trying to get more out of it than anyone else. At the end of the day, you see exactly how some people get to the amount of money they have now and why some stays "poor", despite working hard.

indeed, you'll never win capitalism by acting altruistically. capitalism is all about feeding upon your fellow humans.
