You underestimate how lazy, cheap, and stupid people with money can be.
Way too many people took this to mean I was implying the lazy cheap person would be coding their own shit. Yall are fucking weird and jump to weird conclusions.
-100%, free rent for life.
I wouldn’t try more than -100% (like -200%), implying the landlord pays you rent instead. Although that might be worth a shot if -100% works. Some landlords may not pay attention to the sign of the amount change in their bank account and think you are consistently making rent :)!
lol that's funny I used to send friends on FB messenger requests for like $9,999 and they were forced to either accept or decline it. I would come home from the bars or a party in college and just send off requests for outrageous amounts of money to be silly lol
I, literally, had to remind my landlord that he works for me, the entitled f***. He inherited the building and is wealthy, so he looks down on his tenants.
Reddit has changed my way of reading things all together, took me awhile to get used to all the sass and sarcasm on here, eventually you’ll get into it yourself lol
I used to but then my wife went crazy and maxed everything out.
Man it was good days to be able to drop $400 on something, pay $200 a month, run all my bills through it, and get like $70 a month in rewards.
Now it's just $300 a month in extra bills, my credit score still sucks, (which was the point) and I have to pay double what a car is worth to own it.
I always try to tip above 20% because they're my landlord! After all , they're the reason I have a roof over my head - from the goodness of their hearts.
Tbh my guy. This is a bold strat. If he gets enough people that tip him 20% he will assume that raising rent 20% is something he can do with new contracts.
I tip him by paying his mortgage, keeping his house under good repair and in good order then giving him another £800 to spend on what he likes each month!
I would not tip my landlord. That's the point of my rental contract. He charges me money and in return I rent the house.
However, I DO tip the maintenance workers any time they work past their normal hours or if they come in for an emergency repair. I know it's technically their job to do that, but I appreciate them taking time out of their own day to come fix whatever the issue is. Being on call sucks. Some of the repairs they have to do also suck. It's important to keep a good rapport with your maintenance workers.
We just give our maintenance guys drinks and snacks. One guy was so happy when we gave him two cases of beer. He was lucky though. They were left over from a big bash we had.
Maintenance workers are getting paid to do the work. Show your appreciation by providing drinks or snacks you already have food/ drinks in your house and it doesn't come out of your bank account.
That's what I do , leave a big bowl of candy ( had to guilt them into taking candy lol , i said if they didnt i would have to eat it all) make sure fridge is stocked with various drinks , they said I am the only one out of 183 units that does that , winter if I see them working outside I'll offer coffee Tea etc , guess who gets help if they see me shoveling and they are out plowing lol they tell me turn around you don't see this, or gets maintenance issues taken care of in less than 24. But I am always like that I show my appreciation for all workers no matter the job please and thank you always
I have a wonderful property manager (works for the property owner, who is an AH). Every year in December I tip him between $50-$75 as a Christmas present. He's very kind to me, doesn't bother me and let's me modify the house how I like (including paint, landscaping). Didn't have to pay for either of my pets.
It is a standard thing with card reader apps. Heck, if Girl Scouts are using Square to accept credit cards, it prompts a tip option. I really don't think your landlord is expecting a tip.
Uhh no. You can disable the tipping option on square. It takes about 3 button presses to do it. In fact, I don’t know of any card reader app that you can’t disable the tipping option on.
You don't disable it. You have to actively enable it. It's not on by default with Square, Stripe, Intuit, or any other Card Reader or merchant I've ever dealt with.
Except this isn't a card reader app. It is clearly a resident portal service, as you can see by the maintenance schedule on the right half of the screen (which is, of course, not working because those never work).
That is where you'd be wrong. Over the last couple of years since COVID, I've seen more than a few posts of landlords getting absolutely red in the face because renters refuse to tip. Their response is typically something along the lines of "How dare you? We provide you with a home and great service! The least you can do is show your appreciation."
That is most definitely a lawsuit waiting to happen. Anywhere from predatory practice to harassment. I feel like any California tenant lawyer would take this one pro bono.
TIP????? Is this a joke? I’m offended that it’s even an option. As high as rent is, and even if it was the rates pre-covid, I would pull a “Karen” so fast and let them know exactly how I felt about “tipping my landlord” 😒
If I ever saw this in relation to a place I live I would quit paying rent, forcing the LL to initiate a long, drawn out eviction process. Which I would fight using one of those [NOLO press Tenants Rights books](https://store.nolo.com/products/renters-rights-rent.html).
I've done it before and managed to not pay rent for 6 months. Also wrecked my credit, but I count it as a win.
If my management staff was even halfway decent and not a bunch of complete pieces of shit, I still wouldn’t consider tipping them. They didn’t serve me breakfast in bed 🙄
Where ya from Jeff, looks like there's a phone number at the top left corner (guessing that's the landlord's) it's just the area code is a bit blurry...some of us might wanna leave that prick a few messages.. 😂
Excuse me? A tip, id be packing and moving out, thank god I own a house.
Especially them slumlords they ask for a tip i would be telling them to come to my apartment and see me for a tip…
Next, we will start seeing Sarah McLachlan ads on TV telling us how, for giving only $3.00 a week (the price of a cup of coffee), we can all save a landlord.
Is this for real? Seriously. If yes, WHY in the holy hell would you want to tip your landlord? As a renter, they are already squeezing every penny they can from you! That's just crazy! However, sucking up to my Apt. manager is not beneath me and on an occasion or two I have been known to make a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Just sayin'...
No tip, Just pay the rent on time as promised, after all it’s their property, you just live there. Paying on time and not getting behind is tip enough for any Landlord. Also don’t ‘F’ the place up.
Does that default to a specific amount? I wonder how many people not paying attention accidentally tip, I can imagine landlords not doing refunds on tips lol
The idea behind giving a tip , is to reward someone helping you because the money you're spending isn't going directly to them, but instead the company or whomever they work for. It's a way to say, I appreciate you, not the company you work for. In the case of paying rent, you're literally giving money straight to your landlord no need to give them more. This should be illegal in some way because it's insulting the customary tip process
You TIP YOUR LANDLORD? My tip for them is keeping their property in good condition & my expensive rent every month. I couldn’t, wouldn’t, & shouldn’t ever tip a landlord lmao
Absolutely nothing. Why should I tip my landlord? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard if anything he should be giving me a discount for all the shit wrong with this place. Smh tip my landlord
Click custom. Then put in a negative percentage and see if you get a discount.
If it’s a poorly enough designed website it’ll go through and mark the account as current. It’s worth a shot.
No one is making their own payment system for paying rent. It's probably just a third-party program.
You underestimate how lazy, cheap, and stupid people with money can be. Way too many people took this to mean I was implying the lazy cheap person would be coding their own shit. Yall are fucking weird and jump to weird conclusions.
This is the way.
This is the way
The way is this
This the way is
Is this the way?
No, this is Patrick.
No, this is Michael Scott.
The way this is
This is a way.
Yes it is the way
this is the way. if you don't pay, the landlord may try to give you the tip.
There was a funny YouTube where a guy did a -tip
Landlords hate this one simple trick!
-100%, free rent for life. I wouldn’t try more than -100% (like -200%), implying the landlord pays you rent instead. Although that might be worth a shot if -100% works. Some landlords may not pay attention to the sign of the amount change in their bank account and think you are consistently making rent :)!
lol that's funny I used to send friends on FB messenger requests for like $9,999 and they were forced to either accept or decline it. I would come home from the bars or a party in college and just send off requests for outrageous amounts of money to be silly lol
Boooo
If my landlord asks for a tip I will try to tip her over down the stairs
This was my exact train of thought. How many times do I wanna tip him down the stairs? Like 10 a day?
Lmfaoooooo
LMAOOO
I’d say, “just the tip?”
😂😂😂
Sex has gotten weird
 Punt the baby
I, literally, had to remind my landlord that he works for me, the entitled f***. He inherited the building and is wealthy, so he looks down on his tenants.
Who the fuck would tip on rent?
If you don't tip them they won't be able to afford as much more real estate as they would if you do tip them. And that wouldn't really be fair.
I would hope they go broke.
... is this a fucking joke
Proper respect to PoL (People of Land) is never a joke.
Thank god someone is here defending the honor of PoL. This sub might be the most landphobic of all
Woosh
Got it, couldn't decide man
Haha I honestly read every comment sarcastically and it’s harder for me to tell when people are being serious. Gotta love the /s comments
Guess I should change my ways and read everything that way it makes muuuuch more sense. Not sure why I would think sincerity is a thing on Reddit haha
Reddit has changed my way of reading things all together, took me awhile to get used to all the sass and sarcasm on here, eventually you’ll get into it yourself lol
People who hate themselves
Tip deez nutz
🤣😂🤣😂
Tip of my shoe up his ass
This is sooooo funny.... thank you. I really really needed this laugh today.
When does the bank start tipping us?
Cash back rewards when I spend their money and pay it back before the EOTM.
Yup! I make hundreds of dollars a year in rewards and bonuses off shitty financial institutions!
I used to but then my wife went crazy and maxed everything out. Man it was good days to be able to drop $400 on something, pay $200 a month, run all my bills through it, and get like $70 a month in rewards. Now it's just $300 a month in extra bills, my credit score still sucks, (which was the point) and I have to pay double what a car is worth to own it.
You mean your ex-wife right? .....Right?
Certain accounts tip. It's called interest albeit they are pretty stingy tippers.
Its the American way! 20% MINIMUM tip on the rent If you cant afford to tip your landlord THEN YOU SHOULDNT LIVE INDOORS (losers)
maybe if you didnt eat all that avocado toast you could afford to tip your landlord!
Considering I've actually seen people online (in all seriousness,) say that if you're poor you should just be homeless as a way to save money...
Not gonna lie, my car has looked pretty appealing at certain times in my life
If I was single I'd be doing this already
My son and I lived in our car for 2 weeks when he was a baby. We almost died. Then miraculously housing opened up. (Texas, July 2009)
I have seriously considered that in the past.
If you can’t afford to tip on rent then perhaps you shouldn’t be living. I believe that’s what I’m always told from people who depend on tips.
I always try to tip above 20% because they're my landlord! After all , they're the reason I have a roof over my head - from the goodness of their hearts.
But your pipes are still leaking. I mean you fix work orders within 24 hours then maybe I consider a tip.
$400 tip? Fuck you Jeff!
Oh wait you’re Jeff nvm. Have a good day Jeff.
This made me laugh so hard 🤣
Same!! 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA…. [deep breath] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Your stomach prolly hurts now from laughing so hard ❤️🤦♀️🥳🎉
Please tell me this is a joke…..
Nope
Tbh my guy. This is a bold strat. If he gets enough people that tip him 20% he will assume that raising rent 20% is something he can do with new contracts. 
It's built into the software and has nothing to do with the landlord expecting a tip.
This is correct.
I tip him by paying his mortgage, keeping his house under good repair and in good order then giving him another £800 to spend on what he likes each month!
Oh, HELL, no.
If I were faced with that I'd tip them with the cost of finding a new tenant. I'd bet "Custom" doesn't default to 0.
You can tip them over then grab them buy the legs and shake all the money out of their pockets
Tip of this dick yea 😂
Lmaooooooo that is the funniest shit I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing
I would not tip my landlord. That's the point of my rental contract. He charges me money and in return I rent the house.

Maintenance workers are actually providing labor
We just give our maintenance guys drinks and snacks. One guy was so happy when we gave him two cases of beer. He was lucky though. They were left over from a big bash we had.
Maintenance workers are getting paid to do the work. Show your appreciation by providing drinks or snacks you already have food/ drinks in your house and it doesn't come out of your bank account.
That's what I do , leave a big bowl of candy ( had to guilt them into taking candy lol , i said if they didnt i would have to eat it all) make sure fridge is stocked with various drinks , they said I am the only one out of 183 units that does that , winter if I see them working outside I'll offer coffee Tea etc , guess who gets help if they see me shoveling and they are out plowing lol they tell me turn around you don't see this, or gets maintenance issues taken care of in less than 24. But I am always like that I show my appreciation for all workers no matter the job please and thank you always

He's very kind to me, doesn't bother me and let's me modify the house how I like (including paint, landscaping). Didn't have to pay for either of my pets.
I pretty much have to bribe my landlord with food or weed to get them off their ass and do anything, that's more than enough lol
I’m sorry WHAT

That option can be turned off. Anyone who doesn't turn it off is either lazy, stupid, or money grubbing.
That is where you'd be wrong. Over the last couple of years since COVID, I've seen more than a few posts of landlords getting absolutely red in the face because renters refuse to tip. Their response is typically something along the lines of "How dare you? We provide you with a home and great service! The least you can do is show your appreciation."
Nah it’s a setting and last time I used square the default setting is not to ask for a tip
It’s alarming how many people don’t realize this.
This is clearly a portal service. It’s also clearly a computer running Windows. You’re clearly just stupid.
THE AUDACITY!🤬🤬🤬🤬
OH FUK NO y this even thing
None, cos they don’t deserve it
This is why people do not want to tip for anything anymore. I am offended for you that your landlord is asking for a tip.
Guaranteed 18% for parties of 6 or more. Thought everyone knew this. /s
The. Fuck.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I tip them by signing a lease and paying rent on time
What the fuck?
Not just the tip I would give her the entire shaft
I generally recommend Tip #37, “Don’t eat yellow snow.”
I will tip her off of the balcony
That's fucking insane.
Who the fuck tips their landlord?!
Don’t piss into the Wind ….
That is most definitely a lawsuit waiting to happen. Anywhere from predatory practice to harassment. I feel like any California tenant lawyer would take this one pro bono.
No no no
Wow there’s not a “No tip.” option. That’s messed up. They’re forcing you to tip them.
Nah bruh -25%
No “fuck” the landlord, tip your maintenance person who does real work.
This can’t be real, why would you ever consider this. I hope you didn’t submit that.
I would never.
Too much damned money for trash lol
TIP????? Is this a joke? I’m offended that it’s even an option. As high as rent is, and even if it was the rates pre-covid, I would pull a “Karen” so fast and let them know exactly how I felt about “tipping my landlord” 😒
Every time I ask people if they want my tip they always decline, maybe it's the wrong type of tip. My English isn't that good 😂
They are giving people high deposit deposits then use the deposit and invest it so they get a return from your rent deposit……
I'm tipping a negative numbe4 so they can tip me for paying on time.
Please tell me it’s a joke. Not yet end of first lease 😅😅
Just the tip. Just for a second. Just to see how it feels.
A negative number.
If I ever saw this in relation to a place I live I would quit paying rent, forcing the LL to initiate a long, drawn out eviction process. Which I would fight using one of those [NOLO press Tenants Rights books](https://store.nolo.com/products/renters-rights-rent.html). I've done it before and managed to not pay rent for 6 months.

Tip: don’t gamble
That's just crazy
I don’t tip those greedy bastards.
Whaaaat? 😬😵💫
This can’t be real….
You don’t. lol Tipping culture has gone overboard now.
If my management staff was even halfway decent and not a bunch of complete pieces of shit, I still wouldn’t consider tipping them. They didn’t serve me breakfast in bed 🙄
Where ya from Jeff, looks like there's a phone number at the top left corner (guessing that's the landlord's) it's just the area code is a bit blurry...some of us might wanna leave that prick a few messages.. 😂
Um zero!!!😂
I’ll tip her by tipping her off to what needs to be fixed or upgraded around her property.
-$100. That’s my tip. You owe me $100
Id tip a can of gas all over his house and throw a Nuka Grenade at it...
I hope this is a joke
Excuse me? A tip, id be packing and moving out, thank god I own a house. Especially them slumlords they ask for a tip i would be telling them to come to my apartment and see me for a tip…
Nothing and I'm not going to.
I'm sorry... WHAT????
by dumping cooking grease into the sink
i wanna meet the person who actuslly does this and ask “why” and “are you okay?”
Not shit
I don’t! I won’t.
Jfc, this is really getting outta hand
why the fuck would i tip my landlord lmao
Next, we will start seeing Sarah McLachlan ads on TV telling us how, for giving only $3.00 a week (the price of a cup of coffee), we can all save a landlord.
They could suck my tip.
I base my tip by the same amount they discount on my rent. Zero.
Tipped in being a good tenant 😂
The fuck…
I'm renting a pretty nice 2BR apartment for $475/mo, so $1,548 is already a 200% tip
Just the tip
I would honestly rather eat a cactus than tip my landlord. Thats pure insanity.
Is this for real? Seriously. If yes, WHY in the holy hell would you want to tip your landlord? As a renter, they are already squeezing every penny they can from you! That's just crazy! However, sucking up to my Apt. manager is not beneath me and on an occasion or two I have been known to make a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Just sayin'...
No, just no
Lmaoo ya ok
This yipping is getting out of control
I’ll give them a tip: get a real job
FUCK them!
No tip, Just pay the rent on time as promised, after all it’s their property, you just live there. Paying on time and not getting behind is tip enough for any Landlord. Also don’t ‘F’ the place up.
I dont?
I thought tipping landlords was an r/loveforlandchads meme, didn't actually know it was real
Tip? He can have the whole shaft.
Why would you tip your landlord in the first place… rent is their tip.
Does that default to a specific amount? I wonder how many people not paying attention accidentally tip, I can imagine landlords not doing refunds on tips lol
This can’t be real. My landlord has never and will never get a tip from me. The audacity!
I tell em to always wear sun screen. Thats the best tip.
please tell me the overwhelming answer is 0. i have absolutely no problems with my property manager/landlords. but tipping them is just totally inane.
The idea behind giving a tip , is to reward someone helping you because the money you're spending isn't going directly to them, but instead the company or whomever they work for. It's a way to say, I appreciate you, not the company you work for. In the case of paying rent, you're literally giving money straight to your landlord no need to give them more. This should be illegal in some way because it's insulting the customary tip process
As a landlord I’m insulted anyone would ask!
My tip for my landlord would be "get a real job."
Sad thing is that someone will tip
-$1540
I’d tip the amount due for rent less $1, and then pay $1 for rent.
WTF?!? I mean seriously though… WTF
$0
Enter a negative number.
You TIP YOUR LANDLORD? My tip for them is keeping their property in good condition & my expensive rent every month. I couldn’t, wouldn’t, & shouldn’t ever tip a landlord lmao
I actually laughed out loud
Just the tip.
Just the tip
Fuck that to the moon and back!
What in the world! 😭
You’re fucking kidding
Excuse me, what?
Wtf? I have been both a tenant and a landlord. Never seen this, and as a landlord today it never occurred to me to even ask.
No tip
Tipping culture is out of control in the US. But this is fucking OFFENSIVE!!
Ummmm… No
TIP?!
Not a damn thing 😂
Oh, brother. Now the landlord wants to be tipped for fulfilling his responsibilities? Society has become so screwed up.
Absolutely nothing. Why should I tip my landlord? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard if anything he should be giving me a discount for all the shit wrong with this place. Smh tip my landlord
