I know surely ALL of you'all bad-mouthing the OP are landlords and I can't imagine how irrational you are. If there's an increase in your responsibilities, it shouldn't warrant venting the burden on your tenants, most of you own houses you inherited from your parents and you think God has blessed you.

Do silly things with rents and when you're short of cash, you start asking tenants if they have some money to give to you so they can add it up as rent.

If your expenses shoots up, the tenants to have their to carry, but because God has made you landlord, you think the tenants are now slaves and they should give you almost all of their earnings.

Be reasonable please.

I would pretend I didn't see that. Won't henceforth donate no energy to your elegies.
