Raise your hand if you hate your landlord.

*raises hand*

I woke up at 6am to my slumlords hammering away at the side of the building. I love that they have the resources to fix their rent drop box but not the mailbox, plumbing, electricity, or otherwise important parts of this structure they call an apartment building. 

I think I may hate the housing department even more, for taking over 6 months of phone tag and attempted inspections. Hello people, housing violations are not rocket science. 

Am I the only one with the worlds worst landlords?

Re: Raise your hand if you hate your landlord.

  • [both hands up]

    i hate our previous landlady.  that douchebag kept 2/3 of our security deposit and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.  and she's a stupid scatterbrained hobag on top of it.

  • Oh man, one thing I've always tried to make clear to our landlords is that they will not be touching my security deposit. I learned my lesson 6 years ago when I moved out of my place in pristine condition and didn't get one cent back. From there on out I started taking pictures of everything the day we moved in and the day we moved out. When our lease ends, I send a nasty gram to the management letting them know I have proof that I didn't damage the unit or leave it messy.

    I have friends who own buildings tell me that the law is in the tenants favor. I guess the enforcement of those laws are not.

  • I plead the  5th. My lanlord is my BIL. (yea, the turkey deep fryer guy)

    nuff said?

  • I've LOVED all our previous landlords. 

    Our most recent one was super awesome, and when we told her that we were buying a place, she told us that she "wouldnt accept our 30 day notice until we had keys in hand for our new place."  She said that she's seen deals fall through too many times and didnt want us to be homeless.  How cool is that?  (Totally not great $$ wise, but good for us Big Smile)

    Of course, we are total "dream tenants" so that may be why.  Smile

     

  • We've only had one bad landlord that kept trying to fix our AC in one of the hottest Michigan summers, and our bedroom was upstairs. They should have just replaced it. Since then, we've typically rented from private owners. We pay on time and keep the place clean, and they leave us alone.
  • Don't have a landlord anymore. 

    But the last one we had was kinda creepy.  Rubbed me the wrong way. 

    The one before that was a slumlord.  Wouldn't fix anything.  Not even the cracks in the stucco that caused the mold in our bedroom.  If I had gotten sick, I would have sued the pants off them. 

    My parents' landlord is going senile. They've had to stop talking to her over the phone because she'll put words into their mouths or forget what they talked about.  Everything is in writing.  Even then, it doesn't always work.
