If you think your rent only pays your landlord then please remember this:
- your rent goes towards paying the administrative staff that works for the landlord
- Your rent goes towards paying that maintenance technician
- Your rent goes towards buying maintenance supplies at the warehouse, whom employs cashiers and other associates
- Your rent pays utilities, which employees meter readers and other customer service techs
- Your rent pays insurance, which employs agents, under writers and claim reps
- Your rent pays mortgage to the bank, which employs bank tellers, under writers and many other people
- Your rent pays property taxes, which helps with roads and schools and all the employs they have working.
So remember, that rent payment is part of this economy and is the definition of “Buy local” or “Buy American.”
