  • I would be honest about owning the property from the get go. Because if it ever came out that you’re the owner (and it most certainly will) that would create a very awkward situation.

    In my eyes so long as you are paying for the mortgage/house loan, and not passing on passing on the burden that the tenant won’t gain from then your ethically in the clear.

    As for what the tenant would pay, I see no reason not to go 50:50 on the bills with the tenant, and potentially getting them contributing to a ground rent (not sure if that’s a thing outside of the UK, but it’s basically where the owner of an apartment pays the owner of the building to help with upkeep).

    You might even consider a situation where you agree a monthly surplus to set aside in the event of repairs that may need to be done, agreeing that any money they put in is returned to them as the end of their tenancy if no such repairs were needed.

    At the end of the day if you have a tenant you shouldn’t be extracting any value from them for your own benefit, beyond the obvious benefit of sharing living expenses.

    If anyone disagrees with me I’d really love to hear it.

    I used to climb loads about a year ago, and I was doing quite well, for my standards at least. I enjoyed bouldering, lead-climbing and trad.

    Unfortunately I had to take a break for mental health reasons. Now I want to get back into it again, I am finding every time I go I am just getting so frustrated with how hard I find things now. But it’s not that I’m finding it hard, I don’t mind not completing a difficult problem, it’s that I am genuinely struggling to even start some of these climbs, and it’s so demoralising.

    The only climbs I can climb at the moment are the very easiest in the gym, their first level of climbs. But they are sooooo easy that I get very little satisfaction from them.

    Again, I apologise for the rambling post, I just needed to vent or I think I’d cry



  • Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of ‘Coddling of the American Mind’ should be approached with extreme scepticism.

    An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast ‘If Books Could Kill’.

    I don’t nessecirily always agree with the hosts’ wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.
