Re: OT: Anyone a landlord?

How interesting tho it wasn't because I was fighting with you. He was trying to intimidate. Once my electric bill (as a tenant) was way off the charts. Turns out the electric meter was screwed up. The power company told me if I had a letter from my landlord they'd adjust it. Knowing he'd never get around to it, I typed it myself for him to sign. If he had refused, I'd have been in horrible trouble.

Just for the record, I don't INTEND to pay my rent late.  I was just miffed
at his reaction to my requesting the electricity be fixed was to stress my
late fee of $25.00 a day.

I'm a good tenant!  OK, so I don't weed flower beds so well, that's more a
time (and allergy) issue than being "bad"! LOL!

Griz, who thinks I gotta quit reading this thread now!! LOL!

I don't think it's coldhearted, per se; I just think it would be foolish 

to

prefer to rent to a loud, filty, party-throwing tenant who pays on the 

1st

over a quiet, immaculate tenant who pays on the 3rd after her paycheck
clears.


Everyone seems to think that getting the rent paid on time and having
good tenants is mutually exclusive. It isn't. I've never lost a tenant
over it and I have very good tenants. They're clean, they're quiet -
and they pay the rent on time. One isn't mutually exclusive of the
other. What I won't do is raise the rent much on a good tenant -
you'll move them out faster doing that then you will by insisting that
the rent be paid on time.
