one day i dream of owning a second house that i will rent for an actually reasonable price (say $400 a month? $500 a month?) and, unbeknownst to the renter, when they leave and any damages/cleaning get taken care of, every dollar they paid in rent minus said cleaning/damages gets returned to them in a lump sum. i just keep doing this forever.

#dated a girl once whose dad rented out her childhood home #during the first year we dated the current tenant left and I helped fix holes in the walls and replaced the carpet #he found another tenant‚ very kind looking family‚ husband and wife with one kid‚ very polite‚ seemed very put together #by the end of me dating her that tenant caused her dad so much hell #big unexplained hole in the ceiling‚ three dogs he didn't approve of but they seemed mild mannered every time he visited so—#—he fussed about it the first time and let it go after; when the tenant eventually left‚ the carpet was so full of fleas #dozens of fleas crawling on your ankles and calfs in the first few steps in #water damage on the ceiling in another room and down the wall looked like textbook burst water pipe in the walls—#—but absolutely no pipe in those areas nor any leaks from the existing pipe as far as we could tell‚#and that's including looking for traveling drips #these tags have been a large digression from the original post #but i think of them any time i hear friends/family mentioning renting #or when i think of my dream described here in the post #it's like .. when you rent‚ your landlords are garbage and when you rent to others your tenants are garbage
