I think I would be much happier somewhere like Denmark or Portugal where they value lifestyle more than 'GRINDING' as some people post in this group.

Read it, you will never be happier that you are not stupid rich, emphasis on stupid.

Your tenant will probably be much happier too.

@Caleb Heimsoth I move to Florida last year, I'm much happier now 😁

I was thinking only in terms of costs and not how that in turn would likely increase the rent of the upper unit as well as make all tenants much happier.

Communication will seem like a chore.After a year, I went to another prop mgmt company that charges a higher rate (it's minimally higher), and couldn't be happier.

Tell him you couldn't be happier with the work he's done, and he's definitely kept up his end of the bargain and then some. 

Rolling with such things goes a long way towards making happier landlords.And usually someone who is abusing a process is a pain in the but in other ways.

And if they are picking at pointless little things constantly present them with this:“You know, perhaps you’d be happier elsewhere as this doesn’t seem to be fitting with your needs currently.

A used dishwasher is cheaper than a new 2 foot base cabinet and can make for a happier tenant.
