My 84 Year Old Landlord REACTS to my Apartment Makeover
Рет қаралды 2,736,412
Жыл бұрынI’m so excited to be sharing a VERY requested video. As many of you know, I’ve been renovating my rental apartment for the past 2 years. Upon moving in, my landlord gave me permission to paint and renovate as I so pleased. He has yet to see how I transformed the space and in today’s video I’m giving him a tour! This was his first time being upstairs in years (he is older and has a hard time going up stairs). I told him about my video idea and he was so excited!! With my assistance and the help of a desk chair, he was able to tour the entire space!

This is funny, until it isn't. I once rented a house where I had to take two 4-tonne truckloads of garbage and clean for a week before we could move in. I painted rooms and it was a really nice place. Landlord was a horrible person wanted to raise the rent because "I could get much more for this place than you are paying". The real estate agent (who couldn't stand her) stepped in and said, "well if you want to raise the rent you'll also have to do x, y, z". She backed off. We lived there for 17 years.

I'm an elderly landlord, and most of my tenants are 20-50 years younger than me. I love the relationship we see here. If you've lived in apartment complexes managed by faceless corporations most of your adult life, try a small-time landlord and see what a difference a direct relationship can make. It's a partnership where both can benefit. I usually have to spend the first year of a tenancy convincing my poor wounded tenants that I don't have horns and fangs...

I’m a landlord of 20 houses with 30 more in the works. Like you, I also get a lot of feedback about how frustrating it is to rent from big companies. Many of my renters are relieved to experience the difference made by an actual landlord tenant relationship. I have several tenants that have stayed with me for years and some repeat renters. I’ve even got lots of letters of recommendation from them.

Can i just say that as someone who works with the 'elderly', this video is heartwarming. Many people don't realise that there are so many elderly people who are lonely. I'm not suggesting that your landlord is, but it is nice for someone 'younger' engaging so positively with someone older. You not only renovated a beautiful property but you also helped your landlord financially. Many people think that those who own homes are well off, although this may be the case sometimes, many elderly people who own homes, have the rent as their main or only income. You did good!

Seeing the genuine joy and appreciation of your landlord, choked me up. He was so kind and generous with the comments in every room. Have you ever thought about offering to do a room for him in his space? Not for money....to repay kindness and gratitude. And of course, you would film it for your channel. The world needs more kindness!

THIS. God Bless @Lone Fox 's Heart. So often, renters take the attitude of not improving the space because 'it's not theirs'. I think like Drew...If I'm there it's going to be the best I can make it, of course with the landlords permission. I think it would be awesome if Drew made Uncle Landlord one of his future 'projects'. It is lovely to witness Love in Action in a hurting world.

I mean landlords are literally wealth leeches so the question is why any tenant SHOULD be in the business of raising the value of a renal home.
@willybeama1 Жыл бұрын
@@1986Dams I don’t think that is accurate. Wealth leaches are the corporations buying up homes and raising prices. Landlords do raise rents but typically only to remain viable in an economy that consistently plays money games with home values and taxation. It is quite complicated. At least a small landlord increases their wealth in minuscule increments while helping temporary tenants. The corporation landlords are closer to what you are getting at. Someone help me out if I missed a key issue because this is a quite complicated topic.
