[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just rented a house in DC and there are several hazards and safety issues. There are exposed electrical outlets, loose curtain rods and banisters. The landlord uses a real estate firm for managing the property and there is no way DCRA inspected this place.

Wish I would have seen this thread sooner, but it seems like I’m protected. I have minor children in the home and this is all inconvenient if we have to move.

I’m waiting for the management team to respond to my inquiry, but in the meantime I will stop my auto pay for rent.[/quote]

See this is difference between a good and bad tenant. I recall my good tenant has some minor BS like this. He texted me and asked if ok to fix on his own,

In your case couple turns of some screws maybe five minutes with drill a few screws and slap on a few 20 cent outlet covers. He then showed me pictures of it fixed.

Out of courtesy I told him deduct $200 off his next rest payment and at renewal did not raise rent. And when COVID hit let him go in short payment is plan. Later on an appliance delivery he removed and replaced door.

Prior tenant had me over for nonsense a lot so started jacking rest near end and wanted then out. Final straw was in a Sunday morning called me over on an outlet. I go over and as fat husband in underwear laying in coach and wife texting I changed outlet in like five minutes.

She had like a few other outlets in room. Guess what she plugged a blender into outlet and blew it. Another time she left window open with fruits in window ledge and had an ant issue. A third time her fat husband clogged up toilet with a big crap and excess paper.

I swear good tenants are worth their weight in gold [/quote]
