Tenant or pesky pest?

[Symphonie Morales]

We had rented out our top unit to a seemingly nice couple, no credit and nothing for background - Sounds OK right? Well, one thing those don't tell you if they're just a pain in the *** for ***** and giggles.. I can't tell if I'm just easily annoyed because being a landlord is new to me or if they're just ungrateful. The entire house was beautifully renovated, there really shouldn't be a thing to complain about - So, with that being said, we actually get complaints about every other week and they've been in there for about 2 months. 

- "There's a gap at the top of the door, can something be done about that?".. The house is not level and the gap does not expose them to any weather.

- "Can you remove this railing? My cat climbs on it and we're afraid he's going to fall and get hurt... No? Ok can you install a door for us?".. Sounds like a YOU problem

- "The water pressure isn't the best"

ALSO, when they did a walk through, the woman had asked to put thumbtacks into the wall for a "few things".. What a huge mistake, the walls are covered in band posters and knick knacks!

If anyone feels my pain, I'm glad I'm not alone.. If I need to suck it up, please advise LOL.

Maybe it doesn't help that we live in the same house? Just a few more years..

@Symphonie Morales,

"Oh HI Tenant, sure we can add a door, it will cost $135, I can add that onto the rent if you would like and have my guy out here on Wednesday if that works for you?"

"We are unable to remove the handrail because it is a safety issue"

"You accepted the unit in it;s current condition when you signed the lease but I would be glad to send my guy out and make an adjustment to the door, I'll get a quote and let you know what it will cost you"

Good Luck!
