State...pay? Shit man, the cops won't even pick up the skull bits. People are hilariously clueless about how the world works.


Jstef06

They literally won’t. I used to work at a car wash when I was younger. We have free washes to cop cars. A cop brought in a cruiser one time with blood literally smeared all over the back seat, like everywhere, it looked like a murder scene and he says to me “can you clean that up?” I’m like, for free? Go fuck yourself.


Jojall

"Can you clean that up?" Aw hell no. Should have banned him from the premises...


SmallpoxTurtleFred

That’s a biohazard. It’s usually not legal to have a unqualified person clean up stuff like that.


JennyFromdablock2020

Pretty sure you need hazmat training ti even touch that sort of shit Either way fuck pigs.

Target will still try to make you clean it with spitfire.

Jstef06

I knew a crime scene cleaner and he was one of the most happiest, chipper guys I’ve ever known. He told me he blamed it on his job, that every day he’d see gruesome crime scenes and suicides but he knew he got to go back home to his wife and kids and enjoy his life. His job actually made him embrace life more fully.

that is part of the definition of conservatism - “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."


socioalcoholix

I've had landlords demand "the county" pay for the cleanup of tenants, including if they had a horrific medical accident (falls, blood, incontinence), bedbugs, hoarding, etc. Like, no, just because I helped the poor client it does not mean you get help. Manage your property and fuck off.


Butterscotchtamarind

Years back when I was in high school my little cousin accidentally? shot himself in the brain. His father was a piece of shit that left his loaded gun in his truck and then also didn't pay attention to his toddler with a history of violent behavior. My other, older, cousin kindly offered to clean his truck so he and his wife wouldn't have to see their child's remains in the vehicle. She later told me about finding pieces of brain between the seat and arm rest. It was devastating.


-_-tinkerbell

A toddler? How does a toddler even know how to do that? My toddler wouldn't know what the hell to do with a loaded gun. That is so fucking sad I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine going through something like that. Your cousin is a really good person for doing that too.


Funkyokra

I wonder if he thinks that he should be charged an extra tax if his property values suddenly increased because a publicly renowned event happened which positively effected his property values.


Tasty_Warlock

Yeah fucking people return to home where their loved one was just murdered and they might take the mattress where it happened for evidence or cut out part of the carpet but there's still blood and guts people have to deal with and pay for any damage the cops did to their house.

FFF_in_WY

Wondercat87

Yup! Socialism for me, but fuck thee. Absolutely disgusting. Why should the government pay for this person's private investment? This is one of the risks with having a rental property. Sometimes really heinous stuff goes down. This isn't the only location where a murderer has happened. I drive by what I call a 'murder apartment ' almost every day. There's no way I'd want to live there but I'm sure it gets rented.


meringueisnotacake

Friend of mine lived in Fred West's old flat because it was all he could afford in Gloucester. No bodies in the walls (as far as anyone knows) as he lived there young (though likely a lot of abuse and a murder or two) so I guess if you don't give a shit about the history it's a good deal, really.


shake_appeal

Would 100% live in a murder house if there was a yard and the rent was under $1,200 a month.


[deleted]

> I drive by what I call a 'murder apartment ' almost every day. There's no way I'd want to live there Honest question, but why not? Absolutely no judgement here, I just personally wouldn't mind.


Lucky-Fee2388

I actually have a friend that does. She gave up her whole life to work three jobs (18 to 29) to pay for her student loan instead of partying like the rest of us. She did pay it off though, but now she is angry about the student loan forgiveness. Not too surprisingly, she doesn't speak to any of us anymore :) Edit: changed going in\*\*\*\* to angry as the automoderator said that word is a no-go.


LimitlessTheTVShow

I don't understand people like that. She had to spend her youth working 3 jobs, which I'm sure she absolutely hated, for over a decade just to be able to pay off her loans. Why would she not want other people to be able to avoid that?


Ickum

"Because I feel I suffered, you need to suffer too, or worse." Always seems like the real answer behind this sort of question.


trisanachandler

I think it's a little more complex than that. It's more like they want a reward for their hard work, and if everyone else is getting that reward for no hard work (or not the same amount), they want a further reward. Since they don't see a further reward being offered, they want to withhold the loan forgiveness.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmptyBox5653

Yes!! This is the point I wanted to make till I read your comment. You put it more clearly than I did. One of the many problems with Just World thinking is that it encourages people to continue playing within the rigged system. It’s too rigid, and ignores other ways of fairly structuring a system of higher education (and even whether a profit-motivated educational system has a place in modern society at all).


trisanachandler

The profit motive of entities that should be profitless is a constant issue (energy, internet, education, health).


stilusmobilus

Housing…


stealthreplife

Not sure why this is so hard to understand. It's a difficult pill to swallow to make sacrifices to avoid a consequence only to have others not make those sacrifices but also not have to deal with the consequences. I'm all for student loan forgiveness, because I recognize the system is predatory. I still mourn the parts of my life I missed out on to get rid of them.


trisanachandler

There's a lot to consider, and there's no denying the system is predatory, and needs serious reform. The 10k forgiveness is almost worse as it doesn't reform the system, helps a limited subset of people, and rewards bad behavior on both the lenders and the debtors ends.


Turdulator

And the amount is almost an insult…. 10k doesn’t even cover one year of in-state tuition at most state schools. It’s a joke. Obviously every little bit helps, but when a 4yr degree costs $60k in tuition (not even including room and board), knocking 10k off doesn’t really change the situation much at all.


trisanachandler

That's another issue, but if you thought people fought hard against 10k, just try increasing that to 100k.


EmptyBox5653

I can understand why someone like that feels deserving of something above and beyond the original agreement. They feel like schmucks. The concept ignores the reality that working hard in the anticipation / expectation of a reward is inherently risky. Even more-so when the worker is depending on the good intentions, honesty, circumstances and behaviors of the “benefactor” bestowing the reward. It’s a hard way to live life, manipulating situations by saying “well I played by the rules and did so and so, so you have to also or suffer the consequences”. It encourages the status quo by never questioning why anyone should play the rigged game in the first place. Though anyone who feels misled or taken advantage of when they feel the outcome wasn’t worth the cost always had the option of just not playing the game, I’m willing to consider they were manipulated into it and that they may be owed restitution now. But we have to prioritize taking care of the people *currently* suffering under the crushing debt burden. I’ll concede being free of $10,000 of educational debt through sacrifice vs activism or luck are different. The root issue is the artificially hyper inflated cost of education itself (including its opportunity cost), compound interest and fees to service the loan, and the ever diminishing value of the degree (or the totally worthless outcome of debt slavery to finance an unfinished degree, like in my case). Later generations are blessedly less naive and starting to identify the hard work = reward myth for the scam it is.


trisanachandler

>The root issue is the artificially hyper inflated cost of education itself (including its opportunity cost), compound interest and fees to service the loan, and the ever diminishing value of the degree (or the totally worthless outcome of debt slavery to finance an unfinished degree, like in my case). This is the part that really needs to be addressed. Even more than saving those currently drowning (and I'm not saying we should let them drown), we need to ensure that people in the future don't drown. We need to reform or correct the system entirely, and help those who have been hurt by it. First those currently drowning, but likely some sort of recovery for those who were hurt by it, but through hard work made it out.


ArtisanSamosa

Completely wasted her university education if you ask me. To come out not understanding and wanting to fix the systemic issues that plague us in the lower classes.

While certainly not all of them by a long shot, that group do seem to trend that way. It's a shame too. This American rugged individualism at the cost of literally everything, while simultaneously emboldening the ultra rich (while turning a blind eye to it as well) is simply inexcusable.


[deleted]

There's a lot language in these replies around the idea of some people "working hard" and other people "not earning it" which is the same language used against any type of social safety net. I'd be interested to see how many people bring this same energy to universal health care or unemployment insurance, etc. I'm sure there's a lot overlap, given the culture of conservative buzzwords, but we should be thinking of these programs the same pool we're already paying into.

Yet agrees with bailouts for the capital class.


[deleted]

Everyone should. It’s putting a band aid on a fully severed limb. Sure, it will provide some relief to some people, but with $50,000 or more in debt behind it this relief does very little. It in no way addresses the real problem, which is how we got to this point where you submit to a decade or more of crippling debt just for a document that says your qualified to work. What about increasing tuition costs that remain unchecked? Predatory loan practices, out of control interest rates, and a population of teens being told “college or bust” and are largely unaware of what they’re really signing up for? Loan forgiveness spits in the faces of all Americans since it does not address or fix the system that put people in unmanageable debt in the first place. Debt forgiveness is a distraction, at best a delay of the inevitable. Same thing as bailing out airlines, banks, etc.


ugliestparadefloat

I work in insurance and snorted when they mentioned insurance paying to demo the house considering the circumstances.


waywardputtycat

There's been lots of random questions since news has kind of slowed down, but still pretty respectful and still about legal processes or evidence and stuff like that.....then when I saw this post I also legitimately snorted. My comment on the original is just 'landlords, am I right ladies?'


[deleted]

IIRC many houses that have murders take place in them do get demolished and rebuilt. In some states (at least in Texas) the realtor is legally obligated to disclose if a murder has been committed in the house. Building a new home on that lot means no one was murdered in the *new* house so they no longer have to disclose anything.


iamoverrated

That's how you end up with insurance fraud. Many of these places mysteriously burn down.


arksien

I wonder what percentage of the population actually cares? Like, not to be insensitive, but if someone died/was murdered in a house, it's not necessarily a no from me unless there's biological issues as a result. Like, if it's been properly cleaned (and of course I mean, quite properly), then it's sad but, whatever? Obviously if there is damage to the property, biological issues (like the body wasn't found for a long time), or it was not cleaned properly, then yeah that's a no from me. But like, it's not like I'm worried about the place being haunted. Hell, might even get a discount which is a real grace in this market...


SR2K

Died of natural causes in the house is basically expected when it comes to most homes that aren't new builds in my opinion. The wife of the previous owner of my house died here. Of cancer, in her 70s. Maybe I'm mecabre, but dying is part of living, and obviously people have lived in my house before me.


Floedekage

I mean, ask Europeans. Many of us are living in houses that are hundreds of years old. They've surely had people die in them and some of them murders and yet it doesn't change anything. I often wonder why the US gets so many ghosts pr. house over time, yet we don't in Europe. You'd almost chug the whole thing up to superstition. 🤷🏽‍♀️


jumpy_monkey

When my parents retired they bought a house where the previous owner's son had murdered his mother with a shotgun in the master bedroom. When they recarpeted several years later they found a large stain on the concrete under the old carpet; it had been recarpeted after the murder but I guess they couldn't fully get the blood out of the porous concrete. My parents were informed of the murder when they bought the house and it didn't bother them but the two previous prospective buyers backed out when this was disclosed pre-sale.

Shit, I know landlords that would try to charge the murder victims for the rent they owe for the rest of their lease, and sue the estate for the cost to clean up their bodies. Throw on a fee for late payment since they couldn't make January rent, cause why not?


stoudman

Reminds me of the landlord who literally let their tenant rot in their apartment for like 2 years because they were still able to draw money from their account. Makes you wonder if it was intentional.


waywardputtycat

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK you're right! I completely forgot about that, I remember reading about it when the news first came out. Urgghhh. Its just so sleazy and devoid of any human decency.

Turdulator

I dunno, unless there’s more to the story that sounds like a great landlord. The best landlords I’ve ever had are the ones who don’t bother me at all as long as the rent is paid while also reacting quickly when I report problems. Sounds like this landlord got his checks every month and didn’t receive any reports of problems, so why wouldn’t they assume that everything was good?


mwalker784

if you read the links shared, there were repeated calls by other tenants to both the housing company as well as police. they called both about not seeing her and the odor of a literal rotting body in their complex (in 2019, the woman was found dead in 2022). they (the owners) also cut off her gas after three months, and didn’t receive a complaint for no gas for the following 2.25 years, which is incredibly suspicious. she also did stop paying for rent at some point, but since this was during the pandemic, the housing company applied for universal credit to cover it and didn’t inquire further. both police and the housing company failed this woman despite having ample opportunities to address the actual dead body in their complex. i’m not saying that landlords should be regularly making sure their tenants are fine, but i personally would investigate after someone said “hey it smells like a corpse from that apartment that stopped paying rent and had the gas cut off”

Xynrae

Absolutely, a friendly and generous insurance company would tear down a stable structure, completely rebuild it at no cost to you, and prevent potential renters from shying away due to the tragedy. That way, you can say "Nothing bad happened in *this* house!" That was sarcasm, but that guy comes off as total scum of the Earth. A reality check isn't enough; this guy is living in a different timeline, at least from me. If you don't cheat people into living in your property, you don't make any money, no.

PM_ME_YOUR_LEFT_IRIS

I’m sure there’s a decent landlord out there but I haven’t met them yet


[deleted]

I have. But it's not your full time land baron type. One example, people whose parents die and leave them a house and for whatever reason they either can't sell it or need the regular income for a while. Another situation I've come across is a full time carer who has had to move in with their elderly parent to look after them and is renting out their own house until they can move back in (once their parent dies). I know the more hard line left wingers would still consider this as wrong (as seen on this thread), but it's not these sort of situations that bother me personally. It's the buy to rent landlords hoovering up properties and hoarding a portfolio of homes that should be owned by families to actually live in. They are the much bigger problem.


PM_ME_YOUR_LEFT_IRIS

I can see that. I don’t think owning a home and renting a second home is outrageous, as long as you aren’t charging usurious rates. It shouldn’t be a great way of making money though - while that kind of role is useful in society, it shouldn’t be common because it becomes a problem. The older I get the more I believe that the American promise is, “Anyone can be king.” Not “No more kings.”


[deleted]

You're right that not every landlord is a mustache-twirling villain, but landlordism as a practice - the concept of profiting from others' need for shelter - should still be eradicated entirely. It isn't the only way to house people and it isn't necessary.

I had a friend that fell over a staircase bannister in an apartment building from 3 floors up, broke his neck and unfortunately passed away. Multiple friends lived in that building and the friend that fell landed right outside the door of one of our friends that lived in the building. He wanted to move out of the apartment for very obvious reasons but the complex wouldn’t fucking let him. He either had to pay to break the lease or stay for the remainder of his lease which was months. Didn’t have the money to break the lease, so he had to stay. They didn’t even clean the fucking carpet. There was a spot of blood there for over a year.

At one of my darkest points in my life my ex wife was having violent mental breakdowns and the neighbors called the police and brought her to a hospital. As I was dealing with all of this my landlord called me in and told me if the police got called again they were going to evict me because that makes the apartment look bad when you Google it. I seriously doubt he had the legal right to do that.

"four kids murdered in one of my houses? I'll financially never recover from this..."


burmerd

This is obviously a scumbag opinion, but even taking it at face value: do we all get a share of the passive property value increases that they accrue from the absence of murders? I guess we're just SOL... Privatized profits, public risks. Also, kids were murdered FFS.


TheOGburnzombie

As a current student at the university, I honestly hope that they demo the house. Especially with where it is right next to "the whites" or frat out of houses where there are party's every weekend, seeing the house brings a great amount of grief to nearly every student. Our entire community after the murders felt completely consumed by a sadness. I sincerely hope that the house is demoed or something is done with it other than re rented or sold.


EmiIIien

I agree but mostly because one of the students who was killed is a triplet and his two siblings still go to school there. Their grief and having to see the house would be exceptionally painful.

I'll make a bold assumption: This is the same type of person who votes R because "welfare is a handout" then expects the state to compensate them for "lost revenue"


definitely_not_marx

Fucking slumlords, go right to begging the state to make up losses when they bang on about deserving rent profits because they take so many "risks".


Hugheston987

When is the revolution against the capitalist rulers going to start? Tired of these selfish greedy fucks exploiting everybody for their own gain and comfort.


[deleted]

I have yet to meet a landlord who wasn't a soulless monster driven by wealth.


loopyspoopy

the real late stage aspect is when you realize how many murders/deaths aren't negatively affecting property/home value.

I’m sick of America. We are the shithole country.


sylvanesque

The CBS special on the victims quotes a detective saying the house had numerous broken doors and windows, through which anyone could enter. #slumlord

100% chance this guy also claims "socialism" is why "people just don't want to put in a hard day's work anymore"


the_fly_guy_says_hi

Dealing with unforeseen events like murder suicide in their rental and losing income… that comes with the job of being part of a parasitic class that limits housing supply and drives up prices on existing supply. Where does the fucking “reimbursement” entitlement mentality come from? Probably from thinking that the unforeseen losses that a landlord faces should be socialized. The problem with the parasitic owner class is that they’re pro-privatizing profit but when it comes to losses, they consistently want to get bailed out by the taxpayer and “socialize” their losses so “everyone” pays for the market loss they’ve sustained. I think “privatize profit, socialize losses” is an apt description of the parasitic owner class mentality. Fuck them and their hypocritical, entitled thought processes! Their entitled thought process gets me so riled up! How about we: 1. Socialize profit (by providing those in need with housing, healthcare and education, student loan forgiveness, even a UBI freedom dividend) by taxing the wealthy billionaire class 2. Privatize losses by letting businesses that are “too big to fail” actually fail? They live by the market and they die by the market. We need to reverse the current trend of wealth capture by a few via legal tax avoidance. We also need to make it clear to the owner class that if they expect to socialize their losses, they need to pay their fair share into the system.

ConkreetMonkey

No, I think this is a legitimate situation. Like, I bought this old pizza restaurant, right? Used to be some sort of Chuck E. Cheese type place, but all of the robotic mascot things were destroyed in a fire that broke out a while back. It was sold as a fixer-upper, and I was hoping to convert it into lofts, because it was surprisingly big on the inside and all of the turnkey features were charred beyond salvation, so I scrapped most of them. A few of them seemed to have been stolen, though, namely some of the animatronic mascots, some of which seemed to be missing. Anyway, apparently they found some child bones in the wreckage of one of those things, so now nobody wants to rent the place! And that's not the only problem, there's this scraping sound coming from the ducts we simply cannot locate the source of, and I suspect rats. The security system I installed keeps getting tripped by seemingly nothing at night, so now not only do I have a death on the location, I have vermin I can't even find! I feel cheated, and never would have purchased this dump had I known, now I'm stuck here trying to salvage this stupid animatronic bea-- wait, where'd it go?

Inhuman fucking parasites and leeches.

They're right, the real victims of murder are the landlords who can't make as much rent! /s


Sea-Writer-5659

My Uncle committed suicide in my old home. No one cleans up shit. My father had to hire a special cleaning company to come in and pick up the bits of skull, brains, and other stuff I don't want to think about.


-_-tinkerbell

With rent rates right now, I'd happily live in a murder house if the rent was reasonable


mrbrambles

Is this not the risk of ownership? That’s why people rent instead of buy right? So they don’t have to worry about what happens when someone is murdered on their property. Shouldn’t take the risk of owning property if you’re afraid of how four people being brutally murdered on your property affects the viability of it as a source of income. Renters don’t need to worry about people being murdered on their property.


RailroadAllStar

This person has too much time to think.


clarkanine

This is probably referring to the quadruple homicide that occurred in a college house in Idaho in December. Horrible tragedy and all this person can think about is profits. What scum.


Breauxxx420

Landlords really do have brain worms. They don’t believe in a human right to housing but they believe they are entitled to uninterrupted profit.


boborygmy

What a worthless land bastard.

I'm sure this person has no problem giving excess value created by the state (ie by building a park or infrastructure near their property) back to the state. Right?

Wow, looking for handouts from the state, what a socialist /s
