Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Are you suggesting landlords make zero profit off of the property?
The money we put in is more than the cost of the exterminator, roof not-leaking, many other examples but you get the idea.
No, I'm not suggesting that at all. Don't know why you are suggesting I am?
The benefits of renting is that we are too poor, we do not have emergency funds to buy a new stove or what have you, but we are able to afford monthly rent. Repairs and stuff, that falls on the landlords. They charge an amount that will cover the cost of any repairs or appliance or plumbing replacements in the future, along with (if they don't own the house outright) their mortgage payments on the house.
Right, you're using them as insurance. You give them money, they pool cash you literally can't get because the system is out to crush you, and on the off chance something goes wrong they take a small hit to their profiting from your suffering.
This is especially a funny take from a Canadian considering the reason your rent is high is rich people who can easily get more capital are buying up real estate with the sole purpose of raising prices without providing any additional service. I mean I wouldn't want to try to live in Vancouver on a California salary and that's sad.
poor landlords. they should just sell.
