Water is leaking through MY roof, that I pay top dollar for, onto MY stuff ruining perhaps 100's of pounds worth of bedding, computer etc (but that's not your concern is it?) I can't have a shower before work to earn the money I plough back into my rent because he wants to save a few pounds by using mate-rates? Yeah, tenant-landlord relationships are totally what you are about aren't they, dude.

I have a tenant right now, whose a freaky Pastor... but he's the worst tenant alive. At first he made all these complaints about the carpet not being properly done, but when he came into the unit he already had a look at the place before he agreed to renting it. We told him that we can't afford to change it ( and we weren't going to since he agreed to it) He than threatens to leave so we said ok...fine left and since we have his last months rent on hand we told him he could stay until the month, but he said no not until he finds a place he's not going to leave...Once again we said fine, but you'll have to continue paying the rent if you are going to stay - he says no he doesn't have to since it's dissatisfaction on his part. Now we have settled that, but when we need to contact him ... he never answers the phone and he calls us with a different # and withholds it...

I feel they charge too much for little work. But then again, my portfolio isn't huge, so it's manageable for me right now :) Hey Marvin,

As a landlord when a tenant rings 9 out of ten times its a problem. Oh the joys of been a landlord. Marvin Ive stopped carrying my mobile since handing my portfolio over to letting agents.

That's got to be the worse- to move into such an unfortunate disaster. I remember when I went on holiday once, and I came back to a flooded home. Where it was so cold over Christmas, the pipes had burst. The ceiling in the kitchen had completely collapsed. Man, I was so fortunate this time! OUCH!

The guy who lived next door was a plumber, and fortunately spotted the water running down the *drive* and was able to stop it. But not before it had taken out the ceiling in two rooms. Lovely moving in present. That happened at the house my parents bought when I was a kid, between the vendor moving out and them moving in.
