[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a landlord on the "why don't you buy a house" thread who thinks renters are "greedy" and have no rights.  I'm so sick of this argument; I see it all the time on DCUM.  I'm a renter, always pay my rent on time, and take care of the property I live in.  I suspect the vast majority of renters do the same.  In DC, there are more renters than homeowners.  And yet this nonsensical attitude persists.  I would say there are more greedy landlords than greedy renters.  Thank god for rent control, that's all I can say. [/quote]

It really depends on where the rental is located, that is reality like it or not.

I am both a renter AND a landlord.  We relocated to the DC area for DH's job.  We know that we will only be in DC for max 5 years (we are currently in year 4), and that we FOR SURE do not want to stay here or retire here and want to return to the state where we came from.

I am pretty darn certain our landlord does not think we're trash and have no rights.  We pay our rent 3 months in advance, and treat this home like it is our own. In return, he is kind, thoughtful and always goes out of his way to make sure we are happy.  We also do not treat OUR renters like garbage.  On the contrary- we are courteous, flexible, and jump at their every reasonable request. [/quote]
