When you're paying rent to your landlord, it's pretty much like putting a stack of cash in the trash every week. That money is gone, and you have nothing to show for it. Don't it wrong, that really stinks, but you can't just decide one day that the house is actually yours, even though you've been paying off the landlord's mortgage for them.
Landlords argue they offer a "service" and it's debatable whether or not this id really true. If you're renting out your home while life has taken you elsewhere or maybe it's your second home that you once lived in previously, then this could be a legitimate line of argument. Especially if the person you're renting to also owns a home
But, still, it's crazy to think that some people (and private equity firms) own dozens of homes, land banking massive amounts of properties, throwing them on Airbnb or renting them out and driving up both rental prices and the property market like it's an actual ethical business.
It's right there in the name: lord. It's a feudal system designed for one specific purpose and the end result is that most people get priced out of the housing market and are stuck renting and burning cash for longer.
Still, that doesn't mean that you're entitled to your landlord's property like this entitled tenant "Karen" seemed to think she was. This classic internet story sparked a flurry of varied responses from readers when it was first shared, with readers concerned about the fact that the tenant had been allowed to remain living there long after her declaration. One might expect this family to run into further trouble from her in the future.
