Topic | Being a landlord is the ultimate scam. |
Zanzenburger 02/05/21 9:09:18 AM #21: | I was a landlord for a few years, as my job offered me and my wife a live-on position at work so we rented our empty primary home. One thing you don't hear much about is how scummy so many tenants can be. In the span of five years, we had tenants who:
These were all separate tenants with separate issues. With that being said, we did have a few really good tenants that were great to work with, paid on time, and gave plenty of notice before leaving. But I can see why some landlords are ruthless when it comes to rent, deposits, background checks, rent increases, and lack of flexibility. They've likely been burned by bad tenants and the law in most states makes it almost impossible to evict someone in a timely manner, costing a lot of money in both court fees and lost rent during the process. I still think it's scummy what landlords do and the whole concept of landlording when one person owns dozens of homes to rent, but I also have seen the other side and what goes on with so many tenants. --- Congratulations!
