Off the wall came a clock, the clock smashed. I called after him. He ignored me. I cleaned it up and thought nothing of it because it was a garbage wall clock.

That he broke. 14:32 -!- dethos [~dethos@95.172.177.165] has joined #lnd 14:32 < Emcy> yeah the 'deposit' is a total joke 14:33 < Emcy> all you can do is take meticulously lit photos of everything when you move in and when you move out, and then be prepared to take it to court 14:33 < queip> gmaxwell: sue them 14:33 < queip> for fun 14:33 < Emcy> but often they even structure it so you have less incentive to go to court than he does so 14:33 < gmaxwell> pipirella: same place also charged me a penalty because my professional cleaners left a bag of trash next to the dumpster. Which was completely full the entire week I left, and had been habilually full for months with no response from the landlord. 14:33 < gmaxwell> queip: wasn't worth worrying about it. 14:34 < gmaxwell> I think in general landlord/tenant relationships will never be particularly great on average. 14:35 < ossifrage> My first few landloards where kinda shitty. The first one decided to sell the place half way though my lease 14:35 < pipirella> the guy inspecting the flat told me I was OK and the place was clean as long as I fix a couple of things, I fixed those things myself and then the next tennants found dirt up in the kitchen vent, where you couldn't even see, and they probably negotiated a rent-free month, and the landlord hit me with a bunch of stuff the inspection guy hadn't mentioned, so I had a pretty good case 14:35 < queip> I do not know why, but this kind of problems are not very popular in Poland 14:35 < queip> though it happens that someone moves in with intention to never pay, and he never pays 14:36 < queip> you know how long it takes to kick them out? 14:36 < ossifrage> so I got the joy of having 6 months of randos entering my place and real estate agents leaving the door unlocked 14:36 < queip> years. thanks government 14:36 < Emcy> i guess generally try not to rent from a BTL self styled kingpin 14:36 < midnight> Emcy: a friend of mine, totally unbeknownst to her (and her boyfriend, whose place it is) accidentally rented to a welfare recipient, and welfare recipients have special rules which prevent them from being evicted except under extreme circumstances. Buddy proceeds to tear out walls and do "electrical work"; buddy tries to "fix the dishwasher" which floods; buddy decides to do cleaning-- which 14:36 < midnight> destroys all their flooring. So with dangerous electrical wiring which doesn't pass inspection, destroyed walls, destroyed floors, one room filled to the top with hoarded junk, and facing the house being condemned, my friend *still* can't evict buddy. 14:36 < pipirella> midnight: my god 14:36 < queip> oh yeah this kind of stuff, but everyone has it. no one can be evicted in PL lol (if they have no other place) 14:36 < ossifrage> So for the second place I explicitly asked if they where planning on selling, and the guy said "no, absolutely not, this is an investment property", six months later his wife told me they where putting it on the market 14:37 < pipirella> midnight: buddy was a handyman ;) 14:37 < ossifrage> I complained and said that her husband said the was absolutely not doing to sell, and I wouldn't have rented it if I knew they where going to sell 14:38 < midnight> pipirella: yeah! ikr. 14:38 < Emcy> midnight yeah nearly all private lets here are 'no DSS' 14:38 < Emcy> which of course concentrates low income people into sink estates 14:38 < gmaxwell> at the end of the day renting out a living space is just too intimate a relationship. For every shitty landlord story there is a matching shitty tenant and vice versa. 14:38 < Emcy> which generate so many externality costs its not even funny 14:38 < midnight> Emcy: I think it's illegal to refuse to rent on the basis of being poor, but obviously they do for "other" reasons. 14:38 < Emcy> and also makes sure they stay low income forever 14:38 < midnight> gmaxwell: yeah man. :( 14:39 < queip> gmaxwell: I do not understand how landlord can be shitty - make a contract, document things, something goes wrong - sue 14:39 < midnight> I *suspect* that the landlord assholery is somehow worse, but since there're more tenants than landlords I'm assuming it's just a numbers game 14:39 < Emcy> its basically the same as 'no irish' 14:39 < gmaxwell> queip: suing people that are broke doesn't accomplish anything. 14:39 < queip> gmaxwell: landlords are broke? 14:39 < gmaxwell> queip: in the US, often not far from it! 14:40 < midnight> same for canada. they need the money. they rent a spare bedroom. 14:40 < gmaxwell> queip: typical private landlord in the US buys space with a loan and intends to live off the cashflow. 14:40 < ossifrage> My last landlord was really rather nice. Let me leave my furniture in the house while I was moving/closing on a house while they did some work on the place 14:40 * midnight shudders 14:40 < queip> gmaxwell: welll then in the worst case take his property, give your share to you, and remaining ~95% to him as "cash" 14:40 < midnight> Aside from that one guy who took my damage deposit -- and actually I really liked him and wished I kept in contact with him, I've had nothing but a string of awesome landlords. 14:40 < gmaxwell> queip: the property isn't his, its mostly the banks. 14:41 < queip> gmaxwell: eh that could be worse. maybe people need to use escrows more 14:41 < gmaxwell> queip: and the way landlords are shitty aren't always ways that suing could really fix. Like intruding on your home at all hours, grilling you about guests, imposing crazy rules out of the blue and threatning to evict. 14:42 < gmaxwell> these things disrupt your life but don't necessarily result in any kind of objective damage you could sue over. 14:42 < queip> ffor such behaviour I guess it would come down to write all down in contract (possibly pay a bit more then)? 14:42 < queip> like Sheldon's contract but shorter 14:43 < gmaxwell> Even if you did somehow capture that, they just deny doing it and it's he said she said. (that kind of stuff I described is generally illegal in most (all?) states ... but good luck proving it) 14:43 < queip> in era of mobile"phones"? 14:44 < gmaxwell> yeah, if you manage to record it. 14:44 < Emcy> landlords cant walk in on you here 14:45 < Emcy> exceptions are emergency maintenance 14:45 < gmaxwell> Emcy: they can't legally here, they have to give notice (72 hours, I think) and make reasonable accomidation.-- doesn't stop it from happening. 14:45 < gmaxwell> *unless there is an emergency like a pipe burst. 14:46 < Emcy> cant imagine having an intrusive landlord like that 14:46 < gmaxwell> queip: and in general, except for cases where there will be huge payouts, you have to basically be rich to sue in the US, and if the tenant was rich they probably wouldn't be renting. 14:46 < midnight> at least .. mm.. 48 hours advance notice I think required here? maybe 72. we tend to follow the americans with these kinds of things, as there's more americans than us and they often make rules for stuff we haven't encountered yet 14:46 < Emcy> takes the 'lord' part too seriously... 14:46 < ossifrage> The 72 hour notice didn't seem to apply to real estate agents 14:46 < queip> gmaxwell: I see. Well here it is like 10% of the sum you seek + around 1000$ for a small trial 14:47 < queip> unless it is a trivial case and < 5000$ worth of value that you seek, then just 10% + 100$ covers it all and e-court tries to solve it. for trivial stuff like you have documents someone owes you but he doesn't pay up 14:47 < gmaxwell> I've personally not had that many problems, but I know plenty of people who have.
