The title of this community is "No Stupid Questions," but you know what? It turns out there actually are stupid questions.

Do you think 15 percent is appropriate?

The Stupid Tax is at least 30%, with an additional 10% for the Idiot Fee and 10% for the Moron Dues.

Only if you want to signal that they're doing a bad job. 25% seems much more reasonable if they're doing a standard job as a landlord by doing things like collecting your rent money on time.

You should not be tipping your landlord.

If they are personaly providing any other services to you, such as maintenance, you need to get those clearly itemized and paid separately from rent.

Fun fact: old fogeys who tell kids to just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" are actually using dark humor to agree with us and have compassion that we are in an impossible situation. Because think about what it means to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps." It's literally impossible to do. https://youtu.be/nHOBjsRrLZY?si=cVHSNmmKpEv4NJGg

I tip him 40% of my annual gross salary twice a month, then let him fuck me in the arse whenever he feels the urge because that's just part of the contract. So grateful to my landlord for providing a roof over my head. I would give him more if I could but my math up there just isn't mathing so I think I'm already overextended.

PP_BOY_ 6 points 3 years ago

It depends. A few years ago I could get by with just 15%, but with the cost of living so high, I'd feel bad if I didn't give at least 20% minimum. Sometimes when I've just been paid, I'll do 100% just to help out.

I think my landlord has a crush on me guys

I tip my landlord the same amount I tip my building contractor, my hotel manager, the stock boy at the grocery store, the guy who services the vending machines, all my local care salesmen, my insurance broker, my financial adviser, my stock broker, City Engineering workers, my librarian, toll booth operators, the police, firemen, paramedics, my doctor, my dentist, all the local medical specialists, and all long haul truck drivers, train engineers, the people who make the clothing I buy, the people who grow the food I eat, and that guy who hangs around throwing rocks at security cameras.

Of course, with so many people to tip, I generally divide the tip equally between all of them, out of what’s left in my chequing account at the end of the month, after I’ve paid off everything else and made some charitable donations.

Interestingly, I also usually tip everyone else in the world the same amount too, since I don’t eat out, stay in hotels or take taxis anywhere.

Well, I'm my own landlord, so I tip myself all the money that I have left over after the month. So... 0 €.

No, it's pretty obvious if you look at their other comments. Nobody is seriously going to about tipping their landlord though.
