Yeah there is sketch landlords just like there are sketch mechanics, plumbers, electricians, and pretty much any other job out there. The problem isn't usually the landlord it's the company they subsource to like real estate agents. A family friend was renting out his property while he was away in another state, real estate agency was telling him everything was great, only a trip he decided to pop in and check and there was tons of shit broken that he simply was not told about and he was fuming, needless to say the issues were repaired and he now manages directly with the tenant.

Yeah. A friend of mine actually had a room in an apartment pretty similar to that in Seattle. The difference being that it cost $1800 and was the shunned basement of a properly maintained apartment building. Once I went to visit them, and when I came to the front, I was amazed that she was doing so well for herself. Then I was guided to the back of the building and it felt like I was walking into the bastard offspring of a dungeon and a sardine can, with 8 people crammed into 4 rooms, sharing one kitchen.

And if THAT can happen, anything can happen.
Still a better apartment manager than my mother in law had. They get the cheapest exterminator possible that charges just to show up, never even knocks on the door, and leaves a "we missed you" note stuck on the door. At least Terry got his uncle to show up most of the time.

Kicking out the mobster seemed a bit unwise, Terry Tycoon could wake up with a horse head in his bed after that. But yeah, this was sadly realistic. The old "using the worthless uncle instead of skilled labour" is rather common in any larger city. Paying 60% of your income in rent is likewise very common and I know people who lived in crappy apartments with shared kitchen but those were student to be fair, fleecing them and letting them live as as animals are also not unusual, particularly in cities with famous universities. I had my rent doubled in 10 years which isn't quite as fast as Terry did it, but it was a rather crappy apartment so it got overpriced like no tomorrow before I moved out. I never met my landlord in person (just his uncle and 2 polish plumbers he hired in to fix my shower, and while some polish plumbers surely are very competent, this were the discount guys) but I always imagined him to look a bit like Terry but maybe with a bit of the Monopoly guy in him too. In fact, I am renting a large house in the country side today and it is still cheaper then my crappy 37 1/2 square meter apartment in Malmö (yeah, I am a Swede, no, I am not a coffee drinker, I drink tea like any civilized person, thankyou).

Spiffs banter has been getting noticably better these past weeks. Theres few channels that make me laugh out loud as much as you, mate. Keep up the amazing content
@The Spiffing Brit, first of all I got to say I absolutely love all your video's! You haven't changed a bit, ceep it up! But I suffer from epilepsy, and the flashing effects on 11:30 and 26:52 were a bit to much for me. I love the video editing overal, so don't take it as a bad comment. Is just wanted to let you know - much love, King Arthur
As a Landlord, I can confirm I own a TWAT card. It takes a lot of training and time to get. You have to spend 4 weeks as a prison guard followed by 2 weeks on a placement as part of a debt collecting agency. You also get a chance to refurbish a house, into the worst piece of shit you can. To finish off you spend a week at one of those outdoor team building camps with other potential landlords screaming at them and trying to convince them to sign the sneakiest contracts one can create!
It was only a matter of time before the spiffing Brit got his hands on the tenants. Sure it's fun to have RUclipsrs like seniac playing the tenants the correct way, but there is special about watching someone exploit a game in a video. The funny thing is, most of the exploits that the spiffing Brit displays, are never fixed. They must say, I love it when spiffing Brit exploits reality.
Terry Tycoon was kind enough to let me sell on of my kidneys to him to cover half of last month’s rent. Although having only one kidney has proven to make the infinite whiskey bar twice as effective, it has made working nearly impossible…and rent is nearly due. -I’m sure Terry will think of something… 🤷♀️
@@funnychanisback7679 its cuz theyre the reason why it costs so much just to rent a shitty studio not even in a minor city much less major. and ya cant live in the country any more its 2k in the middle of bumfuck no where for a 1 bedroom apartment where i live. and thats just renting. im not paying 1M for a rundown house with no yard that only has 2 bedrooms and a single bathroom and a shed for a garage thats a 2 hr commute to work. Landlords love jacking up prices and refusing to fix things to kick people out so they can break contracts without having to the tenant but have the tenant pay them so they can renvote the place and sell the building for 3x what the paid for making people homeless and broke. Landlords in major cities do it every day they will shut off the electricity, heat and water to force ya out and then make ya pay them 3x your rent payment to get out of your lease. hell ive seen people do that in my hometown who were individual landlords for houses just cuz they didnt feel like sending money on a plumber/roofer/electrician to fix a major problem. they know most people dont have the time or money to waste in court to sue them so they get away with it. which is why its now impossible to own a house in america/england/canada and probably other countries without being rich already, winning the lottery or getting an pay out from an accident or an inheritance. people say tenants are just lazy and need to get better jobs but its kinda hard to do that in a recession, increase schooling costs and the fact 80% of most people's paychecks are going to housing and most people work 2 jobs now.
@@aaa232ds21No, most people wouldn't mind paying mortgages. It's just incredibly hard to get accepted for even a shitty house unless you have a 20% down-payment. Goodluck having that when you start out at ground zero with no family to help you. The best is when you think you may have a house, and some big investment firm buys it up for 20k over the asking price because they know they're going to instantly start reaping profits once they rent it out.
For some reason despite the stellar quality and patented SpiffCo humor this video made me sad:( Like I'm tired of laughing at how bad things can get and can't escape this thoughts even in free time...
The Spiffing Brit at the beginning: "I will be a millionaire by charging absurd prices for rent!" The Spiffing Brit at the end: Rents out small places for slightly higher than usual rent prices and hasn't even made enough to buy a decent new car.

Paying 60% of your income in rent is likewise very common and I know people who lived in crappy apartments with shared kitchen but those were student to be fair, fleecing them and letting them live as as animals are also not unusual, particularly in cities with famous universities.
I had my rent doubled in 10 years which isn't quite as fast as Terry did it, but it was a rather crappy apartment so it got overpriced like no tomorrow before I moved out. I never met my landlord in person (just his uncle and 2 polish plumbers he hired in to fix my shower, and while some polish plumbers surely are very competent, this were the discount guys) but I always imagined him to look a bit like Terry but maybe with a bit of the Monopoly guy in him too.
In fact, I am renting a large house in the country side today and it is still cheaper then my crappy 37 1/2 square meter apartment in Malmö (yeah, I am a Swede, no, I am not a coffee drinker, I drink tea like any civilized person, thankyou).
"She's a fast food worker and a gamer who makes $80k per year."
*Me: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!! That's literally me for 20 years of my life, and I've NEVER made more than $25k per year. NEVER. And I was even a fucking General Manager of a store at one point!!! Whoever made this game is clearly delusional.*
developer probably has 50 years or more, or is just dreaming out of reality
@@strogonoffcore probably just had to inflate the salary unrealistically high in order to make the game playable - it's set in an alternate universe where people make fairer wages for gameplay reasons.
@@josephmcwilliams9533 yeah gotta be happy somehow
As a landlord myself, I must say that I, too, employ the tactics of Terry Tycoon. In fact, I keep his book by my bed for those handy, quick tips.
At 14:20 the devs inserted a character who is 21 years old and make 80k/year, this is a subtle nod to the fact that the game is fictional
I see Spiff is cornering the rental market in perfectly... Ahem. 'Legal' ways.
@SCP - 1669 - 46 That's devious and underhanded. I LOVE it!
Entering John Oliver levels of "Too real to laugh, but still kinda chuckling" territory
just 45 seconds in you managed to break my headset with your voice. like how even? it still works fine on anything but this video of yours
Spiffs banter has been getting noticably better these past weeks. Theres few channels that make me laugh out loud as much as you, mate. Keep up the amazing content
@The Spiffing Brit, first of all I got to say I absolutely love all your video's! You haven't changed a bit, ceep it up! But I suffer from epilepsy, and the flashing effects on 11:30 and 26:52 were a bit to much for me. I love the video editing overal, so don't take it as a bad comment. Is just wanted to let you know
- much love,

As a Landlord, I can confirm I own a TWAT card. It takes a lot of training and time to get. You have to spend 4 weeks as a prison guard followed by 2 weeks on a placement as part of a debt collecting agency. You also get a chance to refurbish a house, into the worst piece of shit you can. To finish off you spend a week at one of those outdoor team building camps with other potential landlords screaming at them and trying to convince them to sign the sneakiest contracts one can create!
I am less than 10 seconds in and this sounds like California rent prices already. I can tell this is going to be a good video
A fast food worker/gamer who makes 80,600 a year. You can tell this was written by people who have never held jobs before…
TERRY TYCOON WAS THE GREATEST LANDLORD IVE EVER HAD! He is a truly majestic human being
It was only a matter of time before the spiffing Brit got his hands on the tenants. Sure it's fun to have RUclipsrs like seniac playing the tenants the correct way, but there is special about watching someone exploit a game in a video. The funny thing is, most of the exploits that the spiffing Brit displays, are never fixed. They must say, I love it when spiffing Brit exploits reality.
Based on the opening alone, this has to be the most realistic game on the market
World hunger? Just eat food!
I spat out my Yorkshire tea at that one..
Terry Tycoon was kind enough to let me sell on of my kidneys to him to cover half of last month’s rent.
Although having only one kidney has proven to make the infinite whiskey bar twice as effective, it has made working nearly impossible…and rent is nearly due.
-I’m sure Terry will think of something… 🤷♀️
Im absolutely convinced all of the landlords that ive met have used this as their tutorial to learn how to be a landlord....
Congratulations! You are literally just doing what happens in real life!

Oh yeah, it’s all coming together:

“I don’t pay taxes I’m rich.”
Stop quoting Trump here :P
“He’s paying more then half of his yearly wage in rent” sounds so realistic.
I love that this video is essentially one half-hour long roast about how landlords are literally parasites of society.
Social leeches
I don't understand the hate towards landlords..
Like is it an English/American thing or something
Just curious
@@funnychanisback7679 its cuz theyre the reason why it costs so much just to rent a shitty studio not even in a minor city much less major. and ya cant live in the country any more its 2k in the middle of bumfuck no where for a 1 bedroom apartment where i live. and thats just renting. im not paying 1M for a rundown house with no yard that only has 2 bedrooms and a single bathroom and a shed for a garage thats a 2 hr commute to work. Landlords love jacking up prices and refusing to fix things to kick people out so they can break contracts without having to the tenant but have the tenant pay them so they can renvote the place and sell the building for 3x what the paid for making people homeless and broke. Landlords in major cities do it every day they will shut off the electricity, heat and water to force ya out and then make ya pay them 3x your rent payment to get out of your lease. hell ive seen people do that in my hometown who were individual landlords for houses just cuz they didnt feel like sending money on a plumber/roofer/electrician to fix a major problem. they know most people dont have the time or money to waste in court to sue them so they get away with it. which is why its now impossible to own a house in america/england/canada and probably other countries without being rich already, winning the lottery or getting an pay out from an accident or an inheritance. people say tenants are just lazy and need to get better jobs but its kinda hard to do that in a recession, increase schooling costs and the fact 80% of most people's paychecks are going to housing and most people work 2 jobs now.
@@funnychanisback7679It's because people think the government owes them a house for free.
@@aaa232ds21No, most people wouldn't mind paying mortgages.
It's just incredibly hard to get accepted for even a shitty house unless you have a 20% down-payment. Goodluck having that when you start out at ground zero with no family to help you.
The best is when you think you may have a house, and some big investment firm buys it up for 20k over the asking price because they know they're going to instantly start reaping profits once they rent it out.
For some reason despite the stellar quality and patented SpiffCo humor this video made me sad:( Like I'm tired of laughing at how bad things can get and can't escape this thoughts even in free time...
"Greatest fantasy of all; the ability to own a house."
Oof, I felt that one in my soul.
@Hakim Habib I can't tell if you're joking or not. Too tired....
The Spiffing Brit at the beginning: "I will be a millionaire by charging absurd prices for rent!"
The Spiffing Brit at the end: Rents out small places for slightly higher than usual rent prices and hasn't even made enough to buy a decent new car.
He could buy a car if he wasn't busy buying property.
Loved the fact you called it "hiring tenets" truly a Yorkshire Gold mindset
Spiff has clearly done his time in the UK's rental market. Too accurate.
Finally a documentary
oh, you are simulating nowadays UK? great video lol
London rental market simulator
There are unironically no exploits in this video, thats just how some landlords operate.
*some?*
After watching "Lets game it out" for a while with very similar concept then finding this channel which is similar just british, i love it haha watched several vids within the span of 3 days
I love how the most optimal way to play this game is to act like a real landlord
Spiff secretly had a game made so he could show us how to use the actual land owner system in real life...one of the sacred real life secrets he wanted to show us
I can't believe they made a game where you can specifically play as a landlord. Isn't playing as Hitler in HOI4 enough?
“ That is what every artist needs access to large quantities of alcohol“ as an artist can confirm!!
The beard, the tophat, the expression.
Thats what I would find in classic movies where this man is that rich villain.
Not Landlord. Except Lord sounds tough.
I almost snorted tea through my nose man your monotone delivery of all jokes keeps catching me by surprise
Ah, I didn’t realize that u were playing Hong Kong land lord simulator
It can't be Hong Kong... these people are happy...
@@jarodatkinson5306 ah crap I forgot about that part sorry
tenant- ''idk"
spiff - "did mention it comes with shelves of whiskey"
tenant - "s.o.b. I'm in!"
Building management as a heist movie.
I was not expecting all the landlord burns but my god do I approve. Spiff being based lmao
*extremely*
"Pays over half his income in rent and after taxes and such he pretty much has no money" Oh yeah baby, welcome to the USA
The room is 5 out of 5 stars. Everything was actually horrible but then I found 300 bottles of whiskey.
Spiffing Brit 2021: RUclips is perfectly balanced with no exploits spiffing Brit 2040: the government mainframe is perfectly balanced with no exploits
I really wish he'd do something reddit chungus exploits in real life again, like he did with the steam sale
paying 708 bones a month for a room is giving me flashbacks to my university housing
Landlord is exactly the type of job Spiff would take if he didn't become a youtuber
Nah, they’re not allowed to have a sense of humor
Usually when spiff does these it’s wildly unrealistic. This though, you coulda told me he was a real landlord
For the first time EVER!, I have sit down with a cup of tea to watch your show, LOVE IT
The tea and your show
"Why can't millennials save money?"
- Yeah, Austin. Tell us.
The most unrealistic part of this game is that you can negotiate your rent price 😂
Well, it's like in that quote "Pray I do not alter the deal any further."
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates🎈
Why do I feel like this is the worst war crimes you've ever committed? I mean, I've never felt this bad after watching one of your videos.
Bravo. Keep it up!
Thank heavens! Haven't even watched the video yet and I'm already thrilled to bits! Played this for over a month before giving up so HOPE Sir Spiff has easy-to-follow directions for getting ahead in this silly game :D
"The shower is flooding, and the water is knee deep high"
Is spiff the landlord of Yogtowers?
I appreciate how the water stays in the bathroom. Very considerate of it. (Looks over at where I had to cut a stretch of carpet out due to a water leak that got into my carpet.)
I think this is the most accurate and realistic game ever.
18:24 "Personality type: Gamer" Yeah that seems legit.
I’m so happy you got all your videos back.
19:05 this is triggering my ptsd over current rent prices in America lol
