We used the excuse of changing smoke detector batteries and a quick look under sinks to be sure they weren't leaking, a listen to the toilet to see if it's running, ask them if they are having any issues and then we were out of there. 

Was the same excuse given. 

They start making excuses for them. 

So the sooner you get started the sooner you can look back and say, I am sure glad I started when I did, instead of making an excuse and not starting at all!

Then at some point I would change my attitude, and do all the things that a landlord or a manager should do, and become the jerk.I would keep the relationship with tenants as formal as possibile, covid is the best excuse for all of us when we don't want to hang out with someone, and when a tenant is on the phone, if he/she starts talking about his/her personal life, always cut the conversation short, telling them that you would love to talk to them but you're about to go out on a meeting.

Would like someone who can come in and put the place back together quickly as he likes to work 2 days a week with excuses why he can't come other days.

So sad and the excuse is the CV19

I have family there so have an excuse to travel there anyway.

I guess one excuse I made was moving to much it would be too difficult.

Excuses of missing document seems to be a common theme here.
