We all tip for good service. If a delivery person delivers your pizza piping
hot, or a barista gives you your coffee very fast you pay them a tip. Why do
people not give a % tip to their landlord? Lets be honest here, we incrue fees
for taking their money, and we have to free up time to check if they actually
paid on time (because we all know most tenants are lazy when it comes to paying
bills). Is it wrong of me to call tenants and ask for a tipping % when I think I
did a good job that month?
It’s not that uncommon to give a landlord a cupcake or something, especially if they live with/near you.
Also, landlords are often terrible so nobody wants to do nice things for them. And they are likely to be better off, not worse off, then their customers.
Tips aren’t just percentages; people tip hotel cleaners, for example. And a percentage tip on a rent amount would be both unworkably huge and also offensively tiny.
