    The only explanation I’ve heard that makes sense is when it’s running a business out of the home and you have clients/customers coming and going. The increase in traffic is not accounted for in their insurance and blah blah. Extending that to WFH is either someone not understanding some landlord’s rights posts they read on some dark corner of the internet or, I don’t know, idiocy? Either way you’re signaling you’ll be a problem landlord.

    Won’t someone think of the landlords? They’re the real heroes who run society, without them no one would have a place to live! /s

    This guy isn’t a landlord. Property’s degrade far quicker and worse when left unoccupied for long periods of time. Leaks go unreported. Water freezes in the pipe. Air becomes damp and mold takes over. Squatters move in and trash the place.

      That guy is an idiot, which as far as I can tell is all the prerequisites needed to be a leech.

      If all landlords knew that, there wouldn’t be an “unoccupied houses to homelessness” ratio, tbf.

    Yeah, hi, um… Fuckface McParasite… You have literally zero fucking say over what people do in their home you fucking moron. If that means your precious fucking lightswitches wear out faster, too bad, so sad.

    So you rent an apartment, but are only allowed to be there a certain amount of hours per day? What’s next, every 5min you have to listen to ads? Only allowed to use the toilet 3 times a day, otherwise the toilet door hinges will wear too fast?

      Yeah. When they complain I always want to ask them “Really? What did you do with the last $2,000 I gave you?” like a disappointed father.
