Are Landlords Vendors?
Vendors are dropping off all types off goodies at my office. It's really nice.
Shouldn't savvy landlords do something for heir customers? Tenants?

Tenants pay me rent.
I provide them a nice, safe, clean place with courtesy.
That's it.
I don't give them pens and crap. I don't give them movie tickets. Do you really want to be evicting someone after you gave them a holiday gift? Do you really l want tenants walking all over you... if you give some an inch, they'll take a mile? Most tenants would much rather have a nice safe property than a coffee mug.
