What does that have to do with pouring grease down the drain? Whether you agree with landlords or not it’s objectively not the right thing to do and if anything will just be a pain in the ass for the next tenant
People like this are why I am hesitant to rent. I don’t need the investment, but I’m good at owning and keeping up property, and I’ve thought about renting out my spare area at below cost just so someone can have a cheaper place to live, just while I pay it off. Like hey, I have a spare suite in my house, someone could live there since I don’t need the space. It’s not the Ritz, but a young couple trying to get started or a young family could use it while they save up for a down payment.
Then someone comes along and says “yeah I’m going to trash it because fuck landlords”. Like, ok, fuck me for trying to provide a cheaper alternative to the huge corporate housing. Guess I deserve it for … Reasons
I’m renting half someone’s basement right now in a situation like you’re describing. I’m very grateful to them for the opportunity and am not surreptitiously destroying their home. I’ve actually done several repairs for them since I started living here. I’ve known them for a long time though so they knew they could trust me.
That’s who I’d love to rent to. It’s now about profit for me, but more I have property and I can rent for under value. People are freaking assholes though.
Yea, I don’t think I could ever rent something I owned to somebody I didn’t know or even a lot of people I do know. Lots of people have no care for things that don’t belong to them.

It’s Boomer mentality, plain and simple. “It won’t affect me, so Not My Problem™️”

This video haunts me, I saw it originally years ago, this guy breaking down over what renters did to his property: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxIgGkA5tXM
