[quote=HLS]Some landlords prefer a tenant who is always late and pays late charges 😉
You are an ideal tenant only in your eyes….[/quote]
LOL, just like credit card companies.
I agree that it might make sense to try to contact the owner by pulling the property records and sending a letter to the address where the tax bills go. I would say something like: As you probably know, I’ve lived here for 7 years and I’m pretty happy living in this house, but I’m having X, Y, Z issues with the property manager. I’ve been unsuccessful, after many requests, to get the issues addressed or even acknowledged. I’m not sure whether you’re aware of these issues so i wanted to contact you directly. I am hoping we can get these resolved so I can keep living here.
If the landlord wanted you out, he’d probably just raise the rent, or not renew the lease. Really, if a landlord wants you to move along, there’s lots of subtle and not-so-subtle ways that will show. Based on what you’ve written, this sounds more like benign neglect. Property manager sucks, but landlord knows nothing because there’s no turnover and the checks keep coming.
