That's not landlord/tenant that's just people/people.
Different is not necessarily oppositional.
My doctor does not benefit from me being sick. My tutor does not benefit from me flanking.
My landlord does benefit from me living paycheck to paycheck because they have extracted the maximum possible cash from me.
Wait, what? How does it benefit your landlord if you live paycheck to paycheck?
They want the most they can get, of course. I just don't quite understand what you mean?
You living paycheck to paycheck doesn't affect your landlord unless you miss a payment. And in those instances landlords don't have any kind of human empathy for the situation their tenant is in.
It does affect your landlord. Lower income means higher risk of non-payment.
That's why some places require credit checks. The ideal tenant is rich and willing to pay whatever.
The ideal tenant is rich enough to pay increasing rent in perpetuity, undemanding enough to not demand costly repairs, and too poor to buy their own housing unit.
Okay I'm not sure if you just have zero reading comprehension, or if you're just being intentionally obtuse, so let me restate.
Again, you living paycheck to paycheck DOES NOT affect your landlord, UNLESS you miss a payment. I'm not sure how you could possibly say otherwise when you presented zero actual argument for why this statement is untrue.
MANY MANY people are excellent renters, never miss a payment, and live paycheck to paycheck.
If you live paycheck to paycheck and pay rent every month, it makes no difference to your landlord. $2k/mo in their pocket is $2k/mo in their pocket, no matter how much u have in the bank after paying it.
Yes, that is true. That is an ideal tenant. That has nothing to do with whether someone living paycheck to paycheck affects their landlord.
Yeah no shit landlords use credit checks to see if ur a high risk of non-payment. That's called credit history. Has nothing to do with whether ur living paycheck to paycheck. I know ppl who live paycheck to paycheck with ~800 credit scores.
What ur describing is credit scores, not whether or not someone lives paycheck to paycheck. Try again.
