Landlords

[divingbiker]

I like to think that I'm not an evil or stupid landlord. I've got a property management company that handles the rental for me, and I've never said no to repairs or upkeep, except when a new tenant wanted me to cut a hole in the basement wall and install an egress window, when we explicitly told them before moving in that the basement was not a legal bedroom.

So I hope my tenant doesn't think badly of me, but as long as the rent comes in on time I don't really care.

I certainly don't think all or even most landlords are evil or bad; I just prefer to have that modicum of control over my life that you don't get as a renter.

if i want to put a hole in my wall or paint a horse mural on it, I don't like having to get permission

I bet "property management company" is a key phrase here. All of our landlords have tried to that themselves, and were utterly incompetent.

Sorry for the vitriolic attitude. Between this, and some unrelated stuff going on, I've had a rotton week. I probably should have put it on the Dear So and So thread instead of making its own thread.
