[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a long time renter our big red flag is landlord. We only rent places with a management company. We rent SFH in the 5-7k range for multiple years (currently in rental for 5 years). We will not deal with a landlord directly. We have in the past and they lead to problems due to their feelings rather than referring to the contract they signed. [/quote]

Can you provide some examples of this bad behavior from a landlord? [/quote]

DP but after 20 years of renting, the only bad landlords we had would ignore our emails (there were few and mostly as they were selling and we were preparing to move out) but they were happy to email us with requests for help as they sold their house - which we did.  Treat people well.  If someone helps you, have the decency to respond to their questions too.  If they go above and beyond , say thank you. They were only nice when they needed something but otherwise blew us off.  Now they’re happily wasting our money with needless cleaning even though the house sold as is and we had it professionally cleaned. 
Use your head. Be reasonable. Communicate. Of your rental agent seems crazy, get a new one - they will create problems that don’t exist. [/quote]
