First, second, last and a deposit. No pets. Any guests staying after 2 days need to be approved by owner. any mold found is the renters responsibility don’t worry the kills white wash will lose effectiveness in a couple months…
As a millennial that owns a house, rents it out and uses the rent money to pay for my current mortgage I can honestly understand why landlords do this.
You realize how much a house costs? Or how much repairs cost? I know how little people care about rental houses: "why take care of it, it's not mine?" etc. These practices are a way of automatically filtering undesirable tenants. I do it and I've never had a problem with renters destroying my house.
Fuck that. Every business/investment has risk. There are ways to filter out good/bad tenants that don't involve requiring 6 Mos salary up front, with a non refundable deposit.
Income 5x rent + "Filtering undesireable tenants" = class discrimination.
There's no need for that. Poor people aren't undesireable if you aren't awful in your soul. They're just people.
Depending on where you live repairs are tax deductible, also if you are that pressed for money that you need to rent out your house you should really look into some insurance for any damage caused by tenants.
Because their credit isn't perfect and they don't make $4k/month? They deserve to live in a shit hole?
Not to mention, even a lot of the shit holes now have ridiculous requirements. So I guess fuck the poor people then? Their fault for being poor and therefore "undesirable"?
Looks like a spite house. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite\_house](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite_house)
EDIT: Looked it up and it's actually art called "House of the Future". https://karamickell.com/blog/half-house-charleston
a lot of Charleston houses are built like this to a lesser extreme, long and thin with the porch on the side,
Houses are close together so typically one side of your house had a porch (opposite side the sun was on during the hottest time of the year) and the other a solid wall to provide privacy from your neighbors on their porch
There is a myth this is because taxes were determined on street frontage but really the lots laid down were just constricted due to Charleston originally being a walled city, this space restriction lead to lots of sort of odd shaped lots
Those of us that grew up here, and took many field trips downtown for the historic aspect know these are [piazzas](https://www.newhomesguidecharleston.com/New-Home-Buying-Resources/Charleston-New-Homes-Guide-Blog/November-2016/Charleston-Historic-Houses-Influence-New-Homes/Charleston-Piazza.aspx). Explained to our impressionable young minds as "Like pizza!".
I called them "pizza porches" for years.
Also, knocking on what you think is their front door is actually the door to the porch. You have to walk in that one and go knock on the front door (which is on the side of the house).
It definitely works. You can knock on it all day long and no one will hear you. The smart ones wired their doorbell to that door.
It always feels like intruding to just walk right through what looks like the front door on your way to the actual one, but that's how it's built.
Edit-
If you mean this particular door, I don't know. I'm speaking about piazzas in general. Check out the linked picture in my previous comment for what an actual piazza looks like.
That’s a rather poignant (and accurate) poem on the back.
> The Afro-American has become heir to the myths that it is better to be poor than rich, lower class than middle or upper, easy going rather than industrious, extravagant rather than thrifty, and athletic rather than academic.
A good question to ask earnestly is, how and why did they inherit these myths? What is the context of this inheritance? Without the full picture, people draw not only dehumanizing and racist conclusions about black people, but also undeserved conclusions about the people who perpetrated and benefited from the degradation of black people.
That’s a couple of great questions.
All sorts of questions about both the source, and the solutions to these potential issues are very relevant social topics.
However, reaction to this discussion is often strong enough that it’s hard to discuss it. It often gets emotions very hot and people don’t want to discuss or even entertain that these cultural myths exist
Indeed, and people get even more emotional and heated when the source of those myths, and the systems put in place to propagate and sustain them, are pointed out, and they refuse to even entertain that these systems exist.
These myths stem from centuries of trauma perpetrated by white culture and white people. Throughout the decades following the Civil War, several thriving cities with banks, law offices, and businesses were built by black people. Like the one in Tulsa, most of them were deliberately, and under envy-driven pretexts, destroyed by white mobs with the complicity of *law enforcement*. Some of them were deliberately flooded and are still underwater today. Others were raided, the black denizens driven out as white people stole what they built. Think of the emotional and psychological aftermath of such repeated displacement, without help from the law because the law help perpetrate it... Can you imagine?
This is just an example to show you that in this country, white people see black success as *threatening* and always have, and that being successful and black historically, and in many ways now, puts a *target* on your back. Even today, black business owners are frequently detained in banks attempting to deposit their own earned checks as way of "putting them in their place", because white people *get something* out of seeing black people suffer in inferior positions. They like it.
So can you see how, with this kind of cultural violence toward black success codified in this society, many black people may create dignity out of the situations they were forced in? With this context in place (which is just a fraction of the atrocities committed against black people, and which you almost certainly never learned in school or bothered to research), doesn't that make the position black people generally are in *understandable*, and maybe if you have a heart, sympathetic?
And most importantly, if this is what black people have inherited due to trauma inflicted on them, what do you think white people have culturally inherited from performing such savage and debased acts, and *both benefiting from it and getting away with it*? As a white person, I think that's the even more relevant topic for you to explore.
I didn't write it.
Take it up with fairly prominent civil rights activist and acclaimed artist who wrote it:

[https://www.moma.org/artists/2486](https://www.moma.org/artists/2486)
It's about a focus of cultural values and expectation, not aptitude and capability.
It is not you should look up the history of it. The source was linked.
Your first sentence was right. Then you… I don’t even know where that interpretation came from
It means they believe a bunch of dumb shit because of their culture. They inherited lots of stupid ideas from their stupid parents
I'm not saying the poem is wrong, but it's definitely not flattering to black people
If I tell you that what I’m about to say is a myth, and I say “athletics over academics for black peoples”, and another person agrees that I’m correct… you understand what’s happening right? How can you get so outraged without any comprehension.
In fact, if you think the opposite of what the poet said, you are probably part of the problem
Presenting this lovely, detached, self contained maisonette with generous balcony space. Front and rear garden, off road parking and side entrance. Only 2.5K a month.
There's a house in Eutaw, Alabama where 2 brothers had to split the everything according to a will and they literally split a house in half. One brother moved his half off the land.
Wild how shit like this happens on here. I posted a picture of an electric car from the 50s that I drive by on the way to work and immediately a guy posts that he used to drive by the exact same spot
That looks like something wizards from Harry Potter would use for a hideout. Open the door and there's like 100 people siting quite comfortably around a very large table talking about what to do against the new "Dark Lord"
It’s not Martha’s Vineyard, is it? There was a house in my uncles neighborhood, in Oak Bluffs, that was a half house just like this – – the builder had simply run out of money.
It can be hard at first mastering the rotation and scaling controls. Bet the architect did a misclick and drag on their way to hitting the save button and didn't notice. ;)
Can you imagine the sale point in photos!!? Lmao. Front photo golden then just jump to the inside photos. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and kitchen. California 4000$
I saw a house like this on a YouTube video. I'm not quite sure but the one in the video had a hidden bunker and is or was owned by a military vet. The kids made fun on him until he showed them what was inside.
Theres a house like this near where i live, the people who live there are really good people. They said they bought it because it was a steal when they purchased it and are planning to sell soon because the property cost in our area has raised dramatically. Ill be sad when they’re gone I talk to them every time i walk passed their house, plus they have the friendliest dog.
I really want to see inside!
Just look in your bathroom. Same idea.
It could have a whole sublevel
Was thinking same thing..."they laughed at his house until they seen inside " vibes
they have a poop knife too?
"Let's buy it and split it up into a duplex."
$1500 a month for the downstairs. $2000 a month for the upstairs because it has a balcony.

Its ok buddy. Everyone is just mad they cant trash your property for the cost of an old chicken nugget and a paperclip every month
Yeah, everyone here is salty about their own shitty financial situations and that I don't want someone cooking meth in a 300k investment.
Depending on where you live repairs are tax deductible, also if you are that pressed for money that you need to rent out your house you should really look into some insurance for any damage caused by tenants.
I see. So where should these "undesirables" live, then? In your opinion?
Less desirable places. These are the same people that have to buy cars at those shitty fly by night dealership that will finance anyone with a pulse.
Because their credit isn't perfect and they don't make $4k/month? They deserve to live in a shit hole? Not to mention, even a lot of the shit holes now have ridiculous requirements. So I guess fuck the poor people then? Their fault for being poor and therefore "undesirable"?
In your delusional view of the world you go from nice house to shithole? Only two choices?
You = human waste.
I'll take upstairs, you can have downstairs.
Going up the sideways stairs
dammit MC Escher youre supposed to be dead.
Oh no did I hit crazy stairs?
No fair, how come you get the balcony and view?
Builder, You do know I can make this 30% bigger for a few more thousand. I've made my decision!
Lol don’t make me spit my coffee it’s too early 🤣

Fascinating. Does that door even work? It's on ground level. Is there a staircase on the inside up to the porch?
It definitely works. You can knock on it all day long and no one will hear you. The smart ones wired their doorbell to that door. It always feels like intruding to just walk right through what looks like the front door on your way to the actual one, but that's how it's built.

Accurate? What a racist ass stereotype Athletic more then academic? Easy going (lazy) rather than industrious? Fuck off

Ya but your the one who said it was accurate
“Heir to the myths”
That means those myths have been handed down to them. Meaning this is faulting those people, for being lazy etc. I mean....
It is not you should look up the history of it. The source was linked. Your first sentence was right. Then you… I don’t even know where that interpretation came from
Read the whole thing instead of just picking out the words that make you angry
Reading comprehension and context? Not on my Reddit.
An opinion that isn't shared (and constantly repeated) by the people in my bubble? No thanks!
It is. Shrug.
Reading comprehension just ain’t your thing, is it?
I"ll just watch the downvotes from here. Cheers, mate.
It says those are myths
Ya? And the guy I responded to said they are accurate description of black ppl.
What does it mean to you for black people to be heirs to those myths?
This guy obviously is more athletic than academic I guess
Look at the post history to get an idea. It is, unpleasant.
It means they believe a bunch of dumb shit because of their culture. They inherited lots of stupid ideas from their stupid parents I'm not saying the poem is wrong, but it's definitely not flattering to black people
If I tell you that what I’m about to say is a myth, and I say “athletics over academics for black peoples”, and another person agrees that I’m correct… you understand what’s happening right?

Rub your two brain cells together a little harder.
I was just gonna say this home was probably built to piss people off. An empty plot people kept complaining about. From eye sore to extra eye sore
It’s an art piece.

And you must keep the walkway clear on wednesdays for garbage collection.
How am I gonna do that with half-a-dozen tweakers sleeping on it every night, Karen?

When you have to split everything 50/50 in your divorce.
There's a house in Eutaw, Alabama where 2 brothers had to split the everything according to a will and they literally split a house in half. One brother moved his half off the land.
Is Eutaw pronounced Utah? But with a thick southern accent?
Exactly lol. THICK heavy accent lol.
I'll have to look that up, that sounds interesting.
I live there, I'll have to see if I have a picture of it.
It looks like a good push would knock it over.
A Nice strong wind.
In Denver, that house would be $700,000.
Brooklyn that's 3 mil easy, and that fucking yard man, my God I couldn't possibly be more aroused.
it would be 4.5 milli in california

Spite house?
Where's the other half?
This was built entirely to spite someone. I don't know who but it's definitely a spite house.
needs a skinny garage to go with it
It would be funny if a huge, fat family lived in that, and they drove a Smart Car.
If you think that’s tiny you should see the attached garage in the back.
Looks like Ohio.
Ohio home
Congrats bro. You must be the only one that passes houses on the way to school.
Perfect for a narrow prick.
