    That sounds like a great case for strong consumer protection laws.

      No, I don’t believe that tips need to be backed by legislation, it’s better when they are optional so you can identify ideal tenants.

        Consumer protections, not landlord protections, my guy - what a strange takeaway.

        As property without power or internet isn’t habitable, and no rent should be paid on it - “voluntary” tips on top of what you’re already paying to placate a landlord in the hopes they won’t render the property uninhabitable aren’t voluntary - that’s what we call extortion.

        Edit: To those wondering what kind of dipshit defends landlords extorting people for tips by cutting power and electricity, I’d encourage you to look at this particular dipshit’s dumpster fire of a comment history.
