“Murphy’s Law” for Landlords

Thought I'd share a couple of lighter (?) moments about being a Landlord... and would love to hear stories/experiences from other self-managing Landlords

Murphy's Law #1
Your best tenant will get a job transfer during the worst rental market of the decade.

Murphy's Law #2
When a tenant attempts to fix the leaky tap himself, expect to not only replace the tap but the entire plumbing system too.

Murphy's Law #3
A tenant's uncanny ability to see dirt and damage will be much greater when they move in than when they move out.

Murphy's Law #4
When a tenant calls and says "Hi, how's it going?" you know that something is drastically wrong.

Murphy's Law #5
Proper disposal of bacon grease for a tenant is always down the kitchen sink.
