RE: Apartment Renting and Landlords

in #landlord8 years ago

I rent a house out at a very economical price. When the tenants come to me with very minor issues I get pretty upset. Renting a house comes with some responsibility from the person renting as well. However, when the AC just went out I had a brand new unit, plus new furnace installed within 48 hours. (A real issue with the property)

A minor issue I am talking about is a chipped countertop, a dent in the bathroom door crap like that.

I agree, we run into this all of the time where people basically want either constant attention or a servant. With this type of renter I always get nervous since they want things however they see fit for themselves. One family similar to this bought a home and then called to tell me they were 1) moving 2) we should be happy for them 3) that they had been good tenants so they should be able to leave. They proceeded to turn the power off to the house in the middle of the winter. They of course had a lease and in our area the last thing we want is anyone moving mid-winter because it is impossible to fill it up at that time of year. Good people and good tenants are priceless. Slightly off topic, I couldn't care less what color people are, if they are cool, nice, make an effort, etc. they are priceless to me.
