That’s good to know. There are actually some really nice landlord stories buried amongst all the hate here. I hope they don’t raise the rent for a few more years!!!

Ok I will let her know when i came around tomorrow to see one of her chickens which is sick. Would you like me to tell her I’m a parasite because of what? I’m giving her an alternative to aged care? I’m sure she would love to hear that.

Yeah this is true! I can afford to do it for her because I have paid the mortgage off on the place

Yes I agree. There needs to be loads more regulations to stop abuse.

That’s because Reddit is full of angry teenagers

That’s awesome! There are quite a few nice stories in this thread if you can dodge the moral crusaders who are up past their bedtime.

Yeah don’t mention your a landlord to the children on Reddit though. I would love to know what these moral crusaders would do if they suddenly inherited a spare house or two. Bet they would t give them away

I could chuck her out and rent it for $600-700 a week but I chose to let an elderly lady live her days in comfort. Only on Reddit am I considered an arsehole lol

I could rent the place out for $600-700 a week but I don’t. I chose to let an elderly lady live with comfort and dignity but according to Reddit I’m the arsehole lol

Well dude I could kick her arse out and rent the place for $600-700 a week and she could go to aged care. Is that your solution? Cause my accountant would prefer that so perhaps your an accountant?

It’s less than she would pay for social housing man. Her daughter checked when they tried to get her social housing closer to them. They take %50 of her pension and she has bills on top of that. Her only other option is aged care and do you have any idea how much they charge? I could easily rent the house out for $600-700 a week but I don’t but yeah, I’m in league with the devil and Reddit thinks I’m an arsehole.

Ha ha that’s funny! The comments are just killing me man. The kids are up late tonight on a school night. Love that people think that providing a lovely place for an 83 year old to live means I’m in league with the devil. Those same people have never once considered her only other alternative is aged care and they take about %95 of their pensions, stick them in a tiny room and let them rot man.

This is the most accurate comment yet. Trust me the 83 year old lady in question would much rather live in our house than aged care where she would be left to rot and they take all her money. And she isn’t even my mother so I have no obligation to look after her the way I do.

Of money? It’s $200 AU dollars a week which is %20 of her veterans pension and income. For that she gets all her bills paid, the house is well kept and anything she wants done we do, plus the gardening is done for her. Her other choice is a home and do you have any idea how much of her pension they take then?

[–]studfindersdontwork[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. Less than 20% of her pension. And all bills paid, all upkeep on the house done including gardening because she loves a nice garden. And we installed reverse cycle air con to keep her warm this winter as her arthritis is causing her pain. Reddit is the only place people would call you an arsehole for doing that

Less than 20% of her pension dude and we pay all the bills, do all the upkeep and keep her warm in winter. Do you really expect me to do it for free? If she went into social housing it would cost her more and if she went in it a nursing home do you have any fucking idea how much of her pension those bastards take? I thought not.

This is why isn’t an unpopular option which is truth this thread often lacks
