As I've touched on before, I have two tenants who are great, couldn't really ask for better. One of them in particular keeps the place like a show house and has stated she's more than happy with me as a landlord. No, not saying that to blow my own trumpet, however just pushing back slightly against some on here who openly admit they look on landlords as scum, all of whom rent out below par properties.I'm not convinced about the 'idiot' part. The thing is, they don't own it, so damage they do to a property, falls on someone else to repair. They have no financial interest in the place at all.
And as also touched on before, I had tenants who treated the place like sh1t and left me with a refurb bill that'll run into thousands. My (realistic) redress? Nothing. Just got to suck it up.
