I live in the USA, and I recently went to a self service tea/coffee shop that had a machine kiosk where you placed your order and paid (no waiters/waitresses) and the machine automatically wanted to charge 20% tip by default. Tipping culture has gone insane.
I'd bet a lot of those properties are on mortgage and he is getting tenants to pay them off. Very sloppy practice, but it's very common now. It kind of shows he is trying to pass that to his customers wanting a tip on top of his agreed on per month price.
Yeah, love it. "Hey, have you ever wondered if there's anything at all you can do to make me, a rich person, even richer? Let me be very candid with you... [removes the shades in the most trustworthy and vulnerable way] You can. Tip me like I'm an underpaid employee."
Back when I had my first apartment, my landlord would give me a big box of home made cookies at Christmas time, and would take anything off the rent that I bought for the place, light fixtures, paint, etc. He even gave us a wedding gift when we got married. In return, I always paid my rent on time, and kept the place better than I found it.
He owns 25 houses in the GTA! That is probably 10-15 million dollars Canadian of assets there. He wants you to tip him while you pay for the mortgage on his house...
> _"Should you tip your landlord?"_ > _"I own 25 properties in the greater Toronto area and counting."_ I can already see where this is going... What a scumbag.
Tip your Landlords generously until they come to depend on your tips and raise the rent, then keep tipping on top of that new, increased rent because no one needs the money more than your Landlord. He is your Lord, it is the law of the Land. Tip your Lord!
This is great advice! Don't forget to also tip the used car salesman, the outrageous medical bill, the I.R.S, the police officer that gave you a parking ticket, they guy that mugged you on the street the other day, and the Nigerian Prince scammer!
I own some investment stocks, and I feel that these companies should certainly be giving me a tip - on top of any dividends, etc I might receive! After all, I provide excellent service to them. No, I cannot list the specifics services, but they sure are there!
Damn...Because the bank deems me unfit to get at $1000 a month mortgage for a house... I have to pay $1700 in rent a month...according to this....I am already tipping the landlord $700..
Landlords aren't essential. They buy up all the property, inflating prices and charge you an upcharge for what you would pay on the same mortgage making it incredibly difficult to save up for a down payment on a home.
You do need to tip your landlord. If you're willing to tip a server, you shoyld be willing to tip your landlord. They are providing an important resource. I think it might be wise to add the tip onto the rent.
This guy is right. The tenants should tip the landlord because he is providing a service. They tip at restaurants and in other places so why not tip your landlord? Everyone should pay at least 10% tip. Government should make it a law to tip your landlord.
Landlords should be buying the tenants a gift ffs. Idk, chocolates or something for Christmas (and every holiday) or a gift card for groceries. I did have 1 landlord who got chocolates for Christmas, which was nice. He wasn't a great landlord in general though, would personally DIY every single issue & if he was unavailable (which he frequently was, surprise surprise) would flat out refuse to pay for any professional to come and do anything, even if it was emergency. Even in emergency situations (we had bad roof leaks & massive basement floods multiple times...) he would be all "oh yeah ok i'll see if maybe i can come by and check it out later today after dinner or the weekend or something" like no, mfer, get the f over here now. EDIT: Oh yeah, and rent is already excessively high as it is. gtfooh if you're a landlord and want even more money from your tenants as a fk'n tip ffs f thineself.
I think the landlord should be tipping the government more for allowing it to operate within its borders. The government after all provides an essential service.
Who the hell is going to tip their landlord? The only time anything like that happens is if you have to bribe them to turn crap service into tolerable service.
If my landlord ever asked for a tip I'd be leaving their property. No thanks chief. I already have shopkeepers trying to get tips for doing their job i dont need this too. I already say no to them so. Yea
My old boss used to be a landlord. He quit because he was sick of having to clean up after horrible tenants. College-age women were by far the worst, they would constantly try to flush their tampons down the toilet and screw up the plumbing.
@@samvimes9510 Wow. I can imagine even worse things they could do... I have an appartement I'm renting to a couple in their early 70s. I wish them a very good health and long life! And when in the future I'll have to look for new tenants, I hope to find other 50+ ones... they for sure are less prone to give troubles.
Same. The entire point of renting is to have certain things covered - lawn and snow, parking, laundry, home repairs, etc. These aren't gifts from the landlord, they're things that are included in the service the tenants pay for.
I can potentially see tipping the super if there is one in the building as that can make a lot of sense, but I'm hoping that this video is a joke as the landlords largely get to set the prices.

So the owner was hoping you would pay out of habit. Or the machines are getting ready to finance their takeover. If you opted-out, beware! If there's someone at the door, it could be a T800 coming for you. 😅 A tipminator.
In Europe you usually don't tip. Only if you really like the service. The things is, if you don't tip, nobody will flip out because people get paid by the companies they work for ... so any tip is just extra.
@gorgono1 Yep. I have been to Europe and East Asian countries that don't have tipping culture and it is much better than what we have here in the USA.
@@TheXstasy Yep, slavery is still legal there. Revolution was not a liberation there but more like a rebelling teenager who just wanted to do its own thing. Not a liberation of the people, just a change of dictatorship. Instead of royalty, the rich got the power.
I'm so thankful I live in Australia where tipping culture does not exist. Everything already costs so much as it is, and you're expected to pay even more??? It boggles my mind how anyone continues to willingly leave a tip in North America.
in General North American is greedy when it comes to the tipping Culture. Even Europe doesn't have that when I went there. I was shocked, but in a good way.
Yeah we here in the NA are all living in a collapsing society. If everyone stopped tipping it would make a bunch of people homeless. Because corpos don't care about us and they run the country and have the final say. And the food they give us makes us sick and then we are expected to pay when our health deteriorates. It's the most 3rd world 1st world one could witness. It's such a backwards society. I hate it here lol.
I mean its nice to tip waiters in restaurants because theyre still kinda underpaid and people that respect themselves will do it. But anywhere else just doesnt happen@@skyecloud968
Yes, 15% is unreasonable. In the States, the standard is 20% now. I can tell from "bloody" that you're a Brit, and I know it's different over there. Here, it's legal to pay restaurant workers as little as $3/hour because of the expectation that tips will cover the rest. It's ridiculous, but it's not the workers' fault they're being exploited.
@@johneby6878It really was the standard. Growing up in the 90’s, my dad taught me 10% for normal service and 15% for great service. I didn’t hear about this 20% BS until after 2010. People say “inflation,” but that’s not how percentages work! When the price of the food increases, the dollars in the tip also increase without the need for a change in the percentage standard. You’ve all been tricked for being bad at math.
You do need to tip your landlord. If you're willing to tip a server, you shoyld be willing to tip your landlord. They are providing an important resource. I think it might be wise to add the tip onto the rent.
WHAT?!?!?! LOL!!! I'm a landlord myself and believe me, you are NOT supposed to be tipping your fucking landlord. How greedy can some people be?! Disgusting!!!
@@MegaLokopo As tenant myself the only real thing you can consider as "tipping tenant" would be to give month without rent if said tenant can't pay to gather money. Situation with everything so stupid rn. that minor car repair or even health issue can leave us with only payments upon payments...
dude owns 25 properties, assuming that he charges $1000 a month per tenant (that seems to be roughly the average rent pay) that would be $25,000 and this dude wants tip on top of that?! Why don't you ask for handy on top of that, cant get more delulu then that
You wish. In the GTA the rents are so high, sometimes $1500 or even $2000 and more. This guy is extremely greedy. I don't know how a person so young can have 25 properties anyways, must be daddy's..
He's in the Greater Toronto Area (in Canada, one if not the most expensive area where to rent), so he's almot certainly charging something around 3500$. 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️🤮
I did a quick research : "The monthly rent for an apartment in Toronto, ON is $2,590. A 1-bedroom apartment in Toronto, ON costs about $2,405 on average, while a 2-bedroom apartment is $3,187. Houses for rent in Toronto, ON are more expensive, with an average monthly cost of $3,500." Tip not included apparently.🤦🏻♂️
Whelp, looks like we’re mopping the ocean floor today! Because ain’t no way I’d ever “tip my landlord”. He’d be lucky if he’d get a head nod of hello while walking past each other in the parking lot. 😑
What is it with tipping everyone. I get it in the states for service staff that get paid terribly but it’s virtue signalling gone wild for everyone else.
There are only certain people that do deserve tips (in my opinion). Your barber & the waiters/waitresses at a restaurant are the two main ones I can think of. But the person running the cashier at Starbucks or Five Guys asking for tip won’t be getting a tip from me.
It creates a world dependent on tips, where you're not giving service to get tips, but expecting the tips. These establishments should be paying people properly, instead people have to pay the wages. People not expect to be paid and tipped. There is no thank you for it, it's just greed.

My very kind landlord of 6 years gives me a nice Christmas present every year. He's a great guy but there is no reciprocation. I pay him the agreed upon rate already.
The way tipping is spreading, this is the future. Want to get medical treatment on time and not die, tip. Tip the cops. Tip your kids teachers [actually this is kinda a thing with gifts] Everyone gets tips. Also I live in the same province as this guy. Nobody is asking him about tipping landlords.
That is one big "OH HELL NO" from me!! Especially since starting next month I have to pay an $87 a month increase!!! They would have to be truly delulu to think I would dream of giving them a tip.
It is. They found the property, they bought it, they maintain it, and are responsible for making sure it is livable. The service is providing you a place to stay. If you don’t like that then you can always buy your own place.
I actually think the world would be a better place if people could only own 1 house. How much cheaper would the housing market be if people couldn't use them as vessels for investment?
A landlord making a video about fictional people asking how they could give their landlord more money. Definitely a true story, no BS at all. And the thing around tipping at restaurants also gone way too far, any restaurant forcing a minimum tip is not getting my business in the first place. A tip in any form and in any industry should be entirely voluntary without public coercion playing any role.
Tipping culture is nuts. The only people you should tip are people who are making minimum wage or below that amount, and rely on tips as a part of their actual pay. I hate how EVERYONE wants a tip these days.
The narcissistic behavior is strong on this one. Sometimes we are ripped off in the price but is the only one we got, but now we need to give gratuity to him for doing his job. I never have considered that gratuity is something to be enforced it needs to be from the heart, and like some people say if you are expected to do your job don't expect to get an applause and some recognition for your responsibility.
