All landlords are cunts. No matter the lies they tell themselves.
I've had paying lodgers, which makes me a landlord, I guess. So that makes me a cunt, right?
I've also let quite a number of people stay in my spare rooms for free, sometimes for a few days or weeks, sometimes for months. So not all my 'lodgers' have paid to stay, some have effectively been houseguests.
I've posted in other threads on urban previously about how my hospitality has effectively been abused* by countless people over the years, to the extent that I think other urbanites got quite fed up of hearing about my repeated lodger disasters and urged me not to let anyone stay in my flat.
I've had people steal from me, smoke in bedrooms and fall asleep in bed burning sheets - could've set my flat on fire and killed me! I've had someone else smoking in a bedroom and made it stink. (All lodgers/houseguests are told smoking isn't allowed indoors, only on the balcony.)
I've had a couple who were friends of friends who I took in because they were homeless and then they made me feel really uncomfortable in my own home by having lots of 'domestics' shouting at one another and slamming doors, and when I told them they were making me uncomfortable in my own home and asked them to leave I was threatened that I didn't know what kind of person they were, and I should watch my back, but it wouldn't them who got me, it would be someone else.
I've had people who, in hindsight, were pretending to be my bestie to get free accommodation, used me to get what they wanted then fucked off.
I had so many 'friends of friends' or mostly 'friends of acquaintances' pointed in my direction, and I was taken for a sucker after hearing sob stories about people's accommodation woes, so I took them in and gave them a roof over their head, but over the years I came to realise that if an acquaintance is telling me their friends are (imminently) homeless and need a place to stay, then that now begs the question 'if they're your friend, why aren't you inviting them to stay with you?' but it took many instances of people taking the mickey and causing problems for that realisation to dawn.
But in the meantime, I've eg had people staying who basically treated me like their maid or mother and who expected to clean up after them, eg the guy who never washed dishes.
But yeah, I'm the cunt.
* And by abused, I mean the threats and treating me and my home like shit, which I suspect is related to me being a vulnerable person. I'm on the autistic spectrum, have historically been easily persuaded/manipulated, I've been an easy target and taken for a mug. But yeah, I'm the cunt.
