An 87-year-old woman from Lemiers in Limburg who owned substantial real estate in nearby Vaals has left most of it to her tenants in her will.
According to the Telegraaf, Anneliese Houppermans, who earned her money from a successful fruit and vegetable business, owned several houses in the community. She never married or had children, and her ties to her family had faded over the years.
ALAB except this lady.
Well, it is known that only death redeems landlords.
Only death CAN redeem them, I think this lady got it, can’t say the same for the rest
I mean she still stole people’s income for like. However many years. This deed of hers was good, but I’m not sure it makes up for (potentially) a lifetime of taking working class wages.
Still struggling with English, I see?
Oh, hey it’s you. Huh. Always run into the same people defending Landlords. No point hashing it out since we already have. Hope you’re having a good day.
Apologies, but this is the first time I’ve seen the term ALAB and I couldn’t find it anywhere on the interwebs.
Could you explain what this means?
I’m sure you are familiar with ACAB. The L stands for “landlords” here
Sorry, my mind just didn’t click at that moment
basically, Lemmy doesn’t think people should be allowed to rent. You either own a house or live in a hotel. No inbetween.
I think it’s more like “people shouldn’t be allowed to charge others exorbitant prices for a basic necessity of life”
that would be the correct, nuanced approach, yes. But that isn’t how things are on Lemmy.
