I hope not.

    People give tips to other who do nothing outside their job, oh you made the coffee i ordered and hand it to me sure have $5, thanks for handing the pizza i ordered over the counter have $10, payed for my groceries that i picked out myself and paid via self checkout sure have a 25% tip.

    Why not tip someone who ensures where you live, where you children live, where all your precious posesstions are kept is safe, secure, and supported? Seems like you don't actually care about the money, just want to have someone to shit on and feel mighter than them.... (Kidding im a landlord and id call someone nuts for tipping me)

    Edit: Apparently everyone is missing the massive /S

    Because those people provided something to you. They made or delivered the food. All a landlord does is gatekeep a necessity that people can't live without. He didn't build it. The only thing he did to you is prevent you getting housing. That is why they are leeches.

    Am German and am living in my second apart now since moving out. This is absolutely not a thing. You pay your rent on time and that's it. Anything else on top would be inappropriate.

    Edit: In case this is a whoosh moment, we do absolutely pay a tip. Like 20%-ish

    Don't you guys have to bring your own kitchen or something when you rent a place? At least in the US we get a kitchen out of the deal.

    It depends on the landlord. Some have built-in kitchens that come with the rental "free of charge", some expect you to furnish the kitchen yourself, usually offering some kind of discount because the kitchen isn't included.

    In my current flat, the previous renter had installed their own kitchen and sold it to us as to not have to move the entire kitchen to their new flat. But it varies a lot from flat to flat.

    What we usually don't have is fully furnished flats and houses as people in the US oftentimes do.

    Is that "Actual" German, or "My great great great great great great great great grandpappy once rimmed Kaiser Wilhelm's cat" German?
