I’m a tenant. I never whine. I barely call the landlord. Things have been broken a while, I don’t fret, sometimes fix it myself. Reason: I got a screaming deal on my place. I think if you get the right tenant at the right price you can develop a good working relationship. I wouldn’t want to get in that line of work though, i think it would be hard to find a reasonable tenant who would always pay on time. On the other hand, i’m starting to see listings so super cheap, the risk of non payment even for 6 months doesn’t seem so horrendous…
