[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up my first 12 years of my life in a rental. My parents lived in that rental for 16 years. In that time they had ZERO repair calls. I do recall we did ask permission to paint apt.Dad would fix a washer or loose toliet seat.

I rented an apartment 6 years as a single person once agin zero calls to landlord.

Both times with parents and me we had below market rents with small time landlords.

But as an adult I did rent from a large building owned by a corporation with a managing agent payinig full market rent and of course I would put a ticket in for repairs if I had to.

But I find some tenants want it both ways. They want to rent from a small overwelmed owner below market and then pay below market rents and then expect service like they are staying in a Marriot Hotel. [/quote]
Small overwhelmed owners do not offer below market rents
I don’t know who does[/quote]

Everyone I know does. Yes in day one you pay market rate. But I had a great tenant from 2013 to 2018 never raises rent. My new tenant I only raised once since 2018, this year as they got “needy” started calling in a bunch of stuff and causes me around $3,000 in repair bills. So I raised rent and told them partially to recoup cost. Since then no more calls.

You're a jerk. Asking for you to repair YOUR property isn't needy. Just admit that you're a slum lord. [/quote]
