#rate the landlord

Two Ontario residents have created a website that allows tenants to anonymously rate their landlords.
The Rate The Landlord website has grown in popularity since its launch three weeks ago, and now has more than 1,500 reviews from tenants..
The two co-founders — who CBC News agreed not to name over concerns for their safety — said they decided to build the platform because while tenants have to provide a lot of personal information when leasing a property, there is a lack of transparency when it comes to landlords.

Physically, I am getting through it.
Mentally, I am laying on the ground kicking my feet and screaming that it isn't fair.
#i hate that i have to work a second job while im in school#did you know we (grad students) arent technically allowed to have second jobs?#because our funding is supposed to be such a generous stipend that we can focus all our time on studying#lol#lmao even#the grad student stipend hasn't gone up in almost 10 years#and it wasnt great to begin with#at a conservative estimate my rent is going to double when i move out of my current place#and its only the rate it is now because i signed onto a four year lease#landlord has been itching to raise it for a couple years now#frankly the university should be ashamed of whay they're paying us

what if this is the year i finally move out of my horrible little flat. friends of the schalotte blog will be familiar with this sentiment but this time i'm really gonna do it
#i wrote my landlords for a mietzahlungsbestätigung and applied for a new schufa rating#perhaps once i have my documents in place that'll allow me to get serious abt applying for places...#e has been sending me nice ones and i've just been doing nothing about it lol. Enough!

art class is so strange because i practically roleplay being a generic cis guy during it on account of who i sit with (3 generic cis guys). like we talk about the most ‘normal’ stuff its wild…
#its also strange as hell sometimes bc theyre all at least somewhat rich and today we talked about houses and this dude is like#‘oh yeah its funny we sold our house when interest rates were really high so we got way more than its worth haha’#girl what are you a landlord. another guy (the one i sit next to . whos also my friend of many years) was describing the house he’s#moving into soon and hes like ‘yeah weve got a gym in a seperate building with a bathroom and every bedroom has a bathroom and we have#3 lounge rooms for some reason haha and 2 washing machines lol…’#meanwhile im sitting there like. PARDON?#theres also the 3rd guy who sits with us who thankfully wasnt here today and hes kind of just a horrible person

rating the new rv album: chill kill
chill kill: 8/10. i like it. the chorus is good. just can't get over the pop smoke type beat in the back.
knock knock (who's there?): 9/10. "knock knock who's there?" it's me. served as usual.
underwater: 10/10. hips grinding, ass is shaking currently as I'm typing this. this is most def for the r&b girlies. the landlord was at the door most def. bye bye's crown was tilted.
will i ever see you again: 5/10. first off, the beginning sounds like a tech commercial. This instrumental sounds like a damn Samsung ringtone. Giving very much 2016 then and now video. Might have to grown into it. Wendy eating up the notes per usual.
nightmare: 10/10. oh this beat eating. shoulder moving and shit. oh bitch. im floating. I'm levitating and airbending in this bitch. this shit is heavenly. this song name do not fit the vibe. the rap ate. the high note ate. this chorus... bitch im GONE
iced coffee: 9/10. oh so i see red velvet chose levitation for this concept because im just fucking floating. i feel like a fucking princess listening to this shit. im a fucking ballroom rn in a big ass poofy ass dress fucking spinning. this is a royal ass song. "got me like iced coffee" no bitch, got me like belle.
one kiss: 10/10. they said we shaking ass this album cause im throwing it in a circle rn. OH THIS RAP??? THIS BEAT THE CLAPPING. I AM SHAKING MY FUCKINF ASS. CURRENTLY BUCKING. and y'all know how rv loves them soft ass bridges. wendy need a big ass robitussin bc she just hitting notes this whole album.
bulldozer: 8/10. they asking what can you break but they need to be asking what they can they serve bc this album... i actually love this chorus. the raps are amazing as usual. idk why but this song seemed too short (joyuri curse)
wings: 10/10. the beginning is so beautiful omg. i can def see y'all youtube vloggers using this. this is so sweet sounding. like this makes me feel like i'm walking down the street with my partner or something. this song makes me appreciate life. once again, Wendy eating up these notes. SHE SAID "SPREAD YOUR WINGSS" TAKE US TO CHRUCH MISS WENDYYY.
scenery: 10/10. im yearning over someone i never met. im thinking about the good times with this person. how did they do me so well. i feel like im in a loving relationship with this song. i can see this playing during a rainy love confession scene in a kdrama. this song is so soft and i love it. it smells like fabric softener, coffee, and a rainy day.
favs: iced coffee, nightmare, and underwater.
fave song: underwater.
in conclusion: a bunch of booty shaking songs in mix with some songs that got you floating in this bitch. the songs are versatile. red velvet b-sides never fail to eat. someone give wendy some lemon water and robitussin bc she was hitting notes this whole album. i'll give it a 9/10.
#they said the landlord was at the DOOR#they was not playing#got me dancing at 4:48 AM on a school night#red velvet#red velvet chill kill#kpop#ratings#joy red velvet#wendy red velvet#seulgi red velvet#yeri red velvet#irene red velvet#chill kill

so funny story, i did a pub quiz today, and during the break the quiz master came up to me and was like "where were you last time??" and i was like ??! because i don't know this man and this was my first time at this particular pub quiz, so i was like "umm idk why?" and he said "because we had a question about arctic monkeys last week and no one knew the answer!" so again, i was like ?? until i remembered i was wearing an arctic monkeys shirt lol.
so then i asked him what the question was, and it was just 'guess the intro' and it was do i wanna know?? and no one knew???? what the heck. so i told him even my mum knows that one and he was like "i know right??" so i said "okay well clearly this town needs to be educated so you should do an entirely arctic monkeys themed pub quiz sometime" and he said "maybe i will" and i think he was joking but obviously i am now going to email them about it every week until it happens
#unfortunately when i got home#fairly intoxicated#the lock to my flat broke and i was locked out lmao#and then i had to call an emergency locksmith because it was sunday evening#and then my landlord got into a fight with him because he thought the rates were extorionate#anyway so that was fun#good thing i was with friends lol so we just ordered pizza and smoked and let them argue#i'm finally inside now#so yes i've had a day#anyway not sure why i'm telling you all this bc no one care but if anyone read this far:#hope you're having a lovely sunday evening! 💛#arctic monkeys#minnie talks

pointlessly rearranging the furniture in my apartment just to feel something
#every six months I'll be taken by the urge to move somewhere else#and i have to remind myself my rent is below market rates and i need to cling to this apartment until the landlord tosses me#and so. rearranging furniture just to feel something#reilly.txt

My medical chart officially has me labeled as a COVID long hauler 🙃
#fml#I *knew* that if I ever caught that damn virus I’d get long COVID#I know my body well enough to know that was practically inevitable#I am so pissed at our old landlord for getting us all sick#he refuses to acknowledge he even had COVID#even tho all three of us got sick with COVID after he showed up coughing and spread his germs everywhere#I fucking finally got out of that house and I still can’t escape it because that asshole might have permanently gotten me sick#after I avoided that stupid ass virus for three goddamned years#now my heart rate and my lungs are screwed up

#wh. um. fuck.#dad's told me about my nan's will#and uh.#the money goes first to my grandad's looking after obviously#but um once he's not around (in a year or two dad says‚ with his alzheimers)#then it's split between the family in percentages ive forgotten - including my mum‚ which is lovely#but basically in two/three years. i could have enough money to buy my own place.#ive no idea what my credit rating looks like in the least but i guess i have that amount of time to find out and sort it out#i imagine it's not very good - i don't have a credit card or anything like that but i haven't used my overdraft since i was at uni#but dad says i could get 60 grand! so if i buy somewhere with 60k up front and the rest as mortgage? right?#i have no clue whatsoever how to do all that stuff or even like how much furniture costs or how to choose a mattress or anything#ive never had anything like that new#so um. yeah. that's. something#i don't know what to do with it or anything. but it's a thing.#for now i need to go back and find a flat my own cs ive got like 6 weeks now to move from this place#and i have to ring the estate agent landlord people to find out if i can just move upstairs or what. cs that'd be my first choice honestly#but um. my brains gone to mush#i knew my grandparents were well-off but i didn't know it was by that much#or that id get such a high percentage - tho that's half what my dad's getting so i guess that makes sense#he says he's gonna buy a boat and go to south america#which sounds bonkers honestly like he's not a sailor whatsoever#but i guess he's a lot more sensible now he's been sober a year than he ever was when i was a kid

You also don’t own the means of your production as an artist in the way corporations own their means of production. Artists are not achieving horizontal or vertical integration when they finish a painting. Calling an artist bourgeoisie is like calling a farmer bourgeoisie because they own the potatoes they grow up until the point they sell them. The ability to produce a good or service =/= bourgeoisie
i'm going to be completely honest i think the bigger issue is the most of you can only conceptualize an "artist" as someone who makes 10 figures on patreon drawing voltron yaoi or whatever and not people who like. live off paycheck to paycheck, working for a boss they hate, who's constantly at risk of being layed off because they're seen as replaceable and interchangeable. like literally every other working class person.
#also like I’m not contractually obliged to pay an artist at the end of the month.#like I get the reasoning the way I get conservatism in that I understand the logic but it doesn’t make sense#landlords and artists are not really comparable because you need space to live in and that is a contract you literally cannot avoid#the consumption and sale of art is a completely consensual endeavor. no one is forcing you to purchase art#you ARE being forced to rent your apartment at an egregious rate though!#seriously I think we need to refocus and remember who the real problem people are

Finally got to do Christmas with my bestie and they gave me this Call Me Little Sunshine plaque which has taken pride of place over my Ghoulette mask on the “autism wall” as he calls it
Plaque made by Crypt & Cobweb on etsy!
#the band ghost#I’m never getting my security deposit back at this rate with how many pins I’ve got in the walls lmao#it’s my landlord’s own fault for never doing a property inspection

trying to figure out if this rental listing is a scam... the email i just got is a major green flag but why is it so cheap...........
#like its not ENTIRELY unbelievable for a private landlord to offer this rate#but uh. it feels almost too good to be true#so im trying to arrange a virtual tour over facetime#(because i live halfway across the country...)#and then if everything looks legit there i'll be super cautious with the leasing agreement#but anyway. if this works ill be over the fucking moon#tree talks

Office Tenants: Do Due Diligence on Your Landlord
Office markets from coast-to-coast are struggling mightily, especially in major urban downtowns. Chicago’s downtown business district (i.e. the Loop) is no exception. Right now, Chicago’s Loop office vacancy rates are the highest since such rates have been recorded. In April of this year, Crain’s Chicago Business reported that downtown office vacancy broke 25% for the first time on record,…

landlord sent me notice that my rent is being raised at the end of the year with a very specific amount of cents at the end so I know before even checking that he raised it to the absolute maximum he could based on the current percentage cap <3 eat shit
#when they send you a very specific and unrounded number you know they're wrining as many pennies as legally possible out of you#shit **wringing ugh#it's still cheaper than what my neighbours are paying so it could be worse i guess#i am paying well below market rate for a 3 bedroom i have coworkers paying more than me for studio apartments#we need to abolish landlords ffs#reilly.txt
