That’s literally two meals for the cost of one my dude. Makes sense that is a more justifiable expense.

I doubt it! As far as landlords are concerned….money is money lol.

Would your dad be willing to co-sign for you? That can help if he has good credit.

Seconded. We need some detail here OP

Also Cumberland and I’ve already seen ticks, mosquitos, and flies

Nah. I just had 16 little peepers delivered and they were handled with the utmost care for their entire journey. They moved from Iowa to NJ in 48 hours without a single strand of fluff out of place.

The postal service workers called me as soon as they arrived at the post office and let me come pick them up before the office opened.

There wasn’t a scuff to be seen on that box.

Fingers crossed for you! I can’t say enough good things about pet check. They really have been life savers for me and my pets.

Anywhere in NJ?? Pet Check Urgent Care. One in deptford Twp. One in Washington Twp. (Gloucester county)

I had to take my dog there two days before Christmas when she ate a sock. They did X-rays and it only costed $160 + a cheap exam fee. They’ve done blood work on my dog before too. If you make the hike, I’d call first to make sure they can do what you need.

Ditto. Stone soup towns.

It’s not an opinion when it happened….in writing. I am accusing you of things. If you didn’t want to be accused of those things you shouldn’t have done them.

I feel like I’m talking to someone who can’t cope with being proven incorrect and instead of just walking away, keeps doubling down despite there being a written trail of them changing their argument and having to grasp at straws.

You’re ridiculous. Scroll back to the original comments here and take a look at how far you moved the goal posts.

AN AVERAGE PERSON THAT OWNS ONE HOUSE ISNT RENTING OUT THAT HOUSE

You think anyone is purchasing an additional home and leasing it out just for fun??

You don’t think that those people are doing it to earn extra money?

Buddy. Look at what you’re writing. You really want to sit here with a straight face and tell me that landlords aren’t making profits…they are just buying and renting homes out of the goodness of their hearts?

That’s really what you believe???

Ummmmm literally every landlord in this state??

In my county, my sister owns a home she purchased 6 years ago. Her mortgage payment is $800 a month. The home directly next door to hers, purchased two years before hers and being used as a rental is being leased out at a rate of $2300 PER MONTH.

The home I purchased this year….my mortgage is $1900 a month. And this is for a house on a substantial piece of property. The rental I left 9 months ago was a home 1/2 the size in less than a tenth of the property and I was paying $1700 to rent that place in a really awful and dangerous town.

If people weren’t making huge profits on leasing out properties, why would anyone be doing it?? Who are you kidding?

As to your comment that “no one would lease if it rent was too high” that’s BS and you know it. To get a mortgage and buy a home you need excellent credit, you need thousands and thousands of dollars in savings. You need thousands more in liquid funds. Buying is just not feasible for many people. The alternative is renting.

Landlords don’t need to compete, there is no surplus of housing….there’s a shortage. They have the luxury of pricing their units and whatever they want and people are still begging to be granted leases. It’s because the alternative is homelessness.

Are you renting it at a reasonable and fair cost that covers the cost to pay the taxes and maintain the property??

Or are you renting it at an unreasonable cost that covers all of the expenses of owning and maintain that home…..plus enough for you to pay most of a mortgage on a second home?

This are two very different things, no?

Federal restrictions on for-profit use of any fundamental, life sustaining, resource.

I think that’s pretty damn clear.

No. See that’s the issue. Good people aren’t always going to charge as much as they can.

I live in a pretty rural part of NJ and in the summertime there are roadside stands everywhere. Some of them have price tags and are staffed with cashiers and that is fine. The one near me has a metal box with a sticker that says “pay here”. There’s a piece of printer paper in a plastic sleeve with prices scrawled down the side of it. There is a giant sign on the back wall that says this:

“Take what you need, just pay what you can. We are happy to help our neighbors and friends”

Greed isn’t normal and you acting like it is, well it’s part of the problem.

My man….since the dawn of man kind, people have struggled with finding places to live. For all our brilliant minds and trillions of dollars, no one has come up with a solution that actually works.

And you think I can solve the unsolvable in a single Reddit comment? Adorable.

Here’s a start- things that are necessary to sustain life shouldn’t be profit centers for corporations or governments. How’s that?? Human beings, by right, should be granted the food, shelter, water, and medicine that they require to stay alive. The fact that we have turned all of those things into multi-billion industries is despicable.

So step 1- Federal restrictions on for-profit use of any fundamental, life sustaining, resource.

I hate landlords so damn much. This is ludicrous and I just can’t fathom how much longer people are supposed to just swallow these increases.
