Funny stuff.

In the real world, it's not so funny. Landlords get to this point of frustration because they don't know how to screen applicants and weed out the bad ones. And when bad ones get through, they don't know how to handle the problems created.

People constantly tell me they will never get into rentals and they don't understand how I maintain my sanity. The truth is, we have very few problems and we have processes in place to handle those problems. I bet I have less stress than most 9-5 jobs. It's all about education and doing the prep work.

Sounds like the standard job description for property management.

Ezra Henderson · Answer

Lol… looks like an off market lead to me!

Drew Sygit · Answer

Just a few Fair Housing violations...

Tommy Parker · Answer

Lol a landlord that has been through it.

Ha pretty funny. Unfortunately, that landlord has gone through the wringer. Agreed with Nathan's comment above. Start out being clear with future tenants and screening processes, then this would be less of a headache.

This is funny. The young couple thing cracks me up.

When a couple wants to view a property I always look at their Facebook to see if I find any red flags (something I do with ALL tenants). And there are seriously couples who have been 'Facebook official' for only a few weeks and they're already looking to move in together.

So I've got A.D.D. - Mom made the doctor prescribe be Ritalin when I was a kid and I have the attention span of a puppy - but damn - you're looking to move in together after being bf/gf for only a few weeks? SLOW DOWN!

Random, but I currently have some tenants in their early-20s. I don't remember how it came up but it turned out they were bf/gf since they were like 10 years old. Which was shocking to me as THAT'S dedication! They're some of the best tenants I've ever had.

Scumbag losers who refuse to watch and change their toddlers diapers, making all the tenants who are not losers feel depressed watching you spend more time getting with your new new dirtbag boyfriends opposed to making sure your child is bathed and fed need not apply!  Being a lowlife is very irresponsible when you have children and it is hard to watch, thank you for not applying.

Paul De Luca · Answer

The common and inaccurate claim of how landlords are going to spend all of their nights & weekends unclogging toilets. Lol
