Thank you for an actual list, you should work for Lifehacker or submit this tip to them. 

There is one simple update I have been wanting for years, and I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t do it as it seems simple, and I think a lot of others would like it as well. Please give users the ability to set a do not disturb schedule by day. My do no disturb hours are different on Wednesday than they are on

Did they seriously split this into 36 separate slides?

Have they cracked “remember that I was listening to Audible/Downcast/Spotify” and “at least let me choose whether to play that same goddamn song every time I plug in a Lightning cable” or are those still on the want list for iOS 16?

There are a lot of reasons a normal person would decide to rent their home that don’t center around greed or profit. There are also a lot of legitimate reasons a renter could have for not being able to pay, but not even one of those reasons is the fault or responsibility of the owner.

So are property owners getting funding during this as well? I would think that would only be fair, it’s not like the banks are going to say “owe, you can just skip your mortgage”. 

So a person freeloading, not actually struggling is who you’re going to side with? This isn’t a tale of a renter yelling about a tenant who lost their job and is sick with COVID and can’t make payments. This is someone who is rightfully wanting money for their service they’ve been forced to give for free to a person

so no criticism of the freeloader? their unethical, parasitic behavior is a-ok with you? 

Knowing the financial situation of someone renting your property sounds creepy to you?  Sounds like you dont know shit about being a landlord.

Ghoulish glee? Lol kindly piss all the way off. You misjudged my ability to be a reasonable investor and cant take the L? I am extremely unhappy I have to now go through this legal process. The tenant had the full ability to pay this entire time and did not.  He is not someone to be sympathetic about.  No job loss, no

We accept/handle this risk better than most people that rent out property. We haven’t missed a payment despite not being paid ourselves. We haven’t taken any government money and haven’t gone into forbearance. So yes, we fully understand the risk and can afford it.

That’s not a fair statement. Imagine investing in the stock market and then the rules get changed causing you to lose money. Landlords understand the rules of the game which include the ability to evict non-paying tenants. During this pandemic the rules have been changed with no warning, and landlords are stuck

Our tenant decided vacations during a pandemic and buying a new truck was more important than paying rent since April 2020.  Hasnt lost his job or anything, just livin’ life.  I know where I’ll be 12:01am on October 1st.

Your not wrong but at the same time, if the person renting their second home out can’t pay the mortgage the bank will foreclose on the house and the people renting will still be out of a place to live.

Except if the landlord loses their home guess what? So does the tenant

Only you can’t move into the second house because you can’t kick out the tenants that are living there and refusing to pay any rent (even though they are fully capable of doing so) because they KNOW you can’t kick them out. And you are liable for mortgages, taxes, and maintenance on BOTH properties.

Translation: if you didn’t look into rent compensation for landlords and mortgage relief, which is available in (for example) California, you should probably invest some time in doing that rather than complaining on Kinja.

Translation: If you rented out your home in these states, your tenants still don’t have to pay you, but your mortgage is still due and you’re still screwed.
