📉 Ah, yes, because the old way of measuring #homeownership was just too *accurate* for some folks. 🙄 Leave it to the Federal Reserve to invent a metric that makes #renting your parent's basement sound like the American Dream. 🏡✨

My mum and step dad are going away 8-12th June, and said she won’t be able to help with moving that week. We can’t get keys on weekends. She told me to tell the letting agents I’m ready from the 15th.
I really don’t want to piss off the landlord, who is already fed up with the delays. I can get my stuff moved with an extra person for £50. But it’s things like cleaning and fixing a few things, so I get my deposit back.
Plus the longer I wait, less money I get back from days not lived here, which messes up my finances.
I don’t know what to do.

Landlords in NZ have perfected capitalism.
Leasing a peace of land with self owned off-grid tiny house on it. No service or connections provide by the landlord, but charges more for a second person staying it the house not belonging to him.Charging more for nothing. Why? Becaus they can.

Might lose the house, as the new landlord is worried about losing mone, while we wait for our photo id to turn up. Can’t even fast track a passport (1 day) because the kids have never had one. Can fast track for a week, but licences should be here by then. Plus couldn’t afford to do that.
I’m really hoping the licences turn up asap. I’ve mentally moved into that house, and the lovely street.

More on the shape of the support for the Green Party of England & Wales in Thursday local elections; they performed best in areas with lots of renters (which may be at least partly coterminous with the age profile posted about earlier today/yesterday).

Home ownership is always framed as being about building wealth; that viewpoint inevitably leads to higher housing costs and a poorer working class (because treating housing as an investment drives up housing costs).
The true advantage to home ownership is the financial stability it brings. When #renting you are subject to inflationary increases, which means your housing costs do not remain stable, however when you own your home costs remain relatively stable for 25-30 years and then plummet once your mortgage is paid off.
The largest financial challenge of home ownership is putting enough aside each month to cover the maintenance and repair costs associated with ownership; the ones that a #landlord is supposed to cover if you rent, although many landlords shirk that responsibility. The easiest way for a home owner to deal with this is to put a small amount aside each month to cover both the unexpected repairs that crop up and the high cost maintenance

Landlords are panicking ahead of the Renters’ Rights Act — I got evicted
-
Saw a 2 bed place yesterday, requested to apply for it heard nothing at all.
Got a email this morning, saying they would send details over to landlord and let me know if they want to proceed with the application.
Thought this would be another excuse, but landlord has agreed to starting the application, so I’ve paid a holding fee today.
Now I just need energy and money!
