    I like the unspoken part where the people who have lived in this home must vacate when she decides she wants to spend a few years living in the UK again. They should have to find new accommodation when it suits her, but she is not subject to such requirements.

      Tbh that’s the reason she bought and rents it out in the first place, so I’m sure she’s aware

        yeah I don’t think she’s unaware. just emphasizing that the asymmetric nature of the relationship extends past just profiting off a basic need.

      When you added it all up I am pretty confident I spent about 8K USD on my last move. When she is done having fun her sefs will be out that money.

      I had a sociopathic narcissistic ex-boyfriend who did that. He owned a townhouse that people were renting out, and when his wife left him and their house was foreclosed and he got evicted, he kicked out his tenants and moved into his townhouse.

      HE KICKED OUT HIS TENANTS SO HE COULD MOVE IN 😟

      I do not approve of this master/slave dynamic that the housing industry has created. It’s inhumane, unethical, sociopathic,

        I recently bought an apartment, and while I was searching I always made sure to ask if the apartments I was looking at were being rented (the listings never disclosed that information), and giving up on the ones that had tenants living in them. This always earned me weird looks from the agents - “you can just buy the apartment and kick them out”. Yes, the law and the contract will allow it, but my conscience wouldn’t.
