Most people Can pay their rent even if they bring home Less that 3x the rent.

How do you manage to get a rental if You don't make enough to pay the mortage?

Guess what - my family just got back from a nice holiday weekend in Santa Barbara, in June we are renting a cabin in the Smokey Mountains for two weeks (just so my kid can see fireflies), then it's back (we were just there in December) to Hawaii for a month. My daughter has lessons for music, ballet , and karate. She did a two week "art camp" over spring break. yes, things she doesn't need. but things I want her to have, things I work into the budget even if it means I do without something I'd like. I don't see how I owe any sort of explanation to my tenants on what I spend my money on...


Likewise, I don't care what my tenants spend their money on - I just want them to hold to the terms they agree to when they signed the lease.


When I was a renter - I had landlords that were quite wealthy, I didn't see that as justification for not paying the rent. I did, however, use it as motivation to become a homeowner and later a landlord myself.


I don't work a 9 to 5 or whatever - but trust me , landlording is a job.

All you need to do is buy an apartment building and become a landlord yourself. Then you can become a greedy landlord leeching off the backs of hardworking people too!

When I had my own place the Bank didn't care what my income was as long as I paid the bill. But LL they all up in your business wanting too know what you spend your income on. then they tell you your kids don't need this don't need that What to Eat what not to eat! I borrowed money using my car the LL said Instead of buying something I Need I could pay more in rent! & told me to Sell the car & what I got for my Disability! All LL want to do is suck you dry. No thanks I don't want to become a Slumlord This place is falling apart they don't care. You must be the new owner cause all he does is brag about crap & trips he goes on. Paying the mortgage is about ALL he does.

Of course they care. You wouldn't be able to go to your bank and ask for a $600,000 loan when you only make $30,000 a year.

Aren't you on section 8 housing and disabled? How is that working out for you and the greedy landlords? How much do you actually contribute to society? How does it feel to leach off the American taxpayers?
