some tenants "entitled" mentality?

[Gabe G.]

As a recent landlord, I am interested to see some(not all) tenants entitled mentality?

1. Where they don't think they have to pay rent, and don't understand why they are being evicted after not paying rent, and after I bent over backwards to keep them in the house or to avoid court.

2. where they request to have carpet replaced with laminate, after they destroyed the carpet?

3. Where they can continue to lie or tell some story each month on why they don't have rent, and then wonder why their word doesn't mean anything after such lieing.

4. They don't understand why your upset at them or have it in the lease, to keep the place clean, when they think it's totally reasonable to have each room, full of worthless junk, in a house that their kids live in.

Where does it come from? I mean there are good tenants out there, so don't get me wrong, but I am just wondering if everybody else has this experience, and is it a high percentage of your tenants? And does it seem more prevalent in lower class housing?

I have pretty nice rentals, not great, but from A- to C neighborhoods, and find this at every level. Like something is owed to these people, because of their degenerate behavior.
