      Some landlords that are complete assholes ask, but I doubt you’ll actually see anybody actually do it.

      Yeah. By paying the mortgage plus 30% on the property they bought at double a fair market rate just to keep me from buying it for myself.

      I love paying double in rent what I would pay for a market-rate mortgage and getting no equity in return.

      Thanks landlords!

        If it’s that simple, why don’t you just buy somewhere?

        It was for me, so I did. Went from paying £375/m rent to £200/m mortgage.

      Tipping your landlord is essential for a good relationship. Not tipping them is basically wage theft.
