Landlords often have a negative reputation as greedy, slumlords, looking to take advantage of their renters. In fact, with cases like those shared by these Reddit users who tell their worst landlord/management story, it’s hard to argue that sentiment.
But are landlords always at fault in a renter relationship gone wrong? For every bad landlord story, I challenge you with a bad renter story.
Here I share some of the top reasons why any renters would drive their landlord or property manager crazy.
They complain about late fees.
They want call me with a “plumbing emergency” to unclog their toilet.
Their “employee reference” sounds a little too much like their “landlord reference” (at least change the phone number!).
They don’t complete the move-in checklist and then complain when I keep a portion of the security deposit.
They write a bad reviews on Yelp because I raised the rent to meet the local property tax increase.
The cops have my phone number on speed dial by now because of the late night parties.
They let their boyfriend/girlfriend stay there.
They make me get in the middle of roommate drama.
They use dish soap in the dishwasher.
They don’t report the water damage from the aforementioned dishwasher flood.
They don’t have renter’s insurance.
They move out without telling me.
They get a new roommate without telling me.
They don’t change the air filters.
They try to pass off the pet stains as “normal wear and tear”.
They don’t take out the trash and blame the pest infestations on the property.
They refuse to let me come inside for a routine maintenance inspection.
They don’t return my phone calls.
Renters play an equal part of the landlord-tenant relationship. It is up to them to make sure they understand their renter responsibilities and follow lease terms.
In turn, it is the a property manager’s or landlord’s responsibility to uphold their end of the relationship by providing a habitable and nice place to live, responding to maintenance requests and following state laws in regards to late fees and notices to entry.
As a housing provider, you can avoid these types annoying renter situations by conducting thorough tenant screening. And carefully going through the lease agreement with every tenant, so the expectation are set for a great landlord-tenant relationship.
Do you have experience with bad or frustrating renters? We’d love to hear your thoughts about what makes a bad tenant in the comments, so renters know what it will take to make their landlords love them.
This article is originally published on LTPM under the title 20 Reasons Why I Hate My Renters.
Rentec’s editorial team chose to republish and share the article on the Rentec Direct Blog because the content illustrates some of the challenges landlords and property managers face when dealing with tenants.
I support the idea that renters are a landlord’s and property manager’s customers. And approaching your landlord-tenant relationship with a customer service attitude will help you succeed in your rental business. I’ve even written about how to use Customer Service Skills to Build Better Tenant Relationships.
The landlord-tenant relationship is delicate and often debated in terms of who is the greater evil in a renter relationship gone bad. But Dani (our commenter) raises a good point, that we should never be promoting landlords hating their renters. One of our goals as an educational blog to the rental community is provide solutions for landlords and property manager to do their job better. So while it’s fun to read about and relate to challenges that come with landlording, the real task should be educating and working with our renters on the best ways to avoid breaking lease terms so we don’t get frustrated and can have great landlord-tenant relationships.
Wow, what an off-putting title. I don’t hate my renters. Even when they do things that really bother me, I know they are my livelihood, my customers. If someone hates their customers, they are in the wrong business.
I’m shopping for PM software and came upon your website. I like so much about Rentec, but … this blog post is a turn-off. Wish I’d never seen it. Maybe I’ll try Tenant Cloud and see how that goes first.
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear the title was off-putting. You are 100% correct that customer service means putting up with challenging situations and keeping a positive attitude during those moments. And you are awesome to view your tenants as your customers, a mindset I hope all landlords and property managers hold. We should never promote hate in a landlord-tenant relationship and I apologize for doing so with the original title of this article. Please see the editor’s note we added to the blog and the changes we have made to title. Thank you for voicing your concern.
Sounded rather tongue in cheek. But if you look hard enough you can find offense in anything. I don’t hate my tenants at all, even the highly annoying ones, but got a chuckle out of this list because it’s so relatable.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it Diana.
My manager put out a letter saying . If we have to Unclog a Drain or toilet there is a $50.00 fee if they feel it caused by the tennant. so most try to fix it themselves or pay the fee. then inspectors found damage in the sewer system and this is why so many clogged pipes and smells, Do you think anyone got a refund? NO. Just a notice of the water being shut off from 9 am until. Indefinitely. Non stop water shutoffs and the grounds are torn up and the smell at night is sickening.

The pass rates of the subjects in the second year of the Degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Technologies Engineering at Universitat Jaume I related to Mechanics and Elasticity are below the average rate of of the course. After an analysis of the reasons for this poor performance during the past 4 courses it was concluded that one of the main ones is the low level of most of the students in the core competencies in Mechanics and Elasticity that should have been acquired in high school and the first year of the Engineering Grades. In order to strengthen those competences, the subjects of Mechanics of Machines and Structures, Fluid Mechanics, Elasticity and Strength of Materials and Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, subjects of the second year and shared by these Degrees, decided to conduct an assessment test of common knowledge related to Mechanics and Elasticity in their continuous assessment tests. Such test was performed in both quarters, being common to the four subjects, and had 10% of the final grade for each of them. In these trials 14 teachers and 300 students have been involved every year. This paper presents a summary of the preparation of the tests, the most important problems encountered related to the coordination of teachers, implementation of a new system of evaluation for teachers and students, as well as the difficulty in preparing this type of assessment test including the evaluation of skills required in the four subjects involved, but not necessarily toughs on these subjects. Finally, an analysis of the results obtained in the tests in relation to those obtained in the subjects involved in them during the last two academic courses is performed.

Again, that's irrelevant to the argument of a 'true religion'. That's like saying my car is the only real one because it's the only one that's red. You can't point to the one or two differences between christianty and all other myths and say that those differences are proof if it's singular validity.
The fact that no other religion includes a truine god does not invalidate all other religions. The fact that no other religion states a 'can't earn your way' does not invalidate all other religions. And, by the way, can you state for a FACT that no other religion has those same facets? If you are basing your religions singluar validity on the fact that it's the ONLY ONE with those features, you're setting it on a very unstable pedistal indeed.
And, finally, I thought the way into heaven WAS by earning it through faith, devotion and living the way the god and jesus set down.

It's safe to say that Assassin's Creed Origins is really good, and it's been getting good reviews pretty much across the board. It's the first time since 2009 that the series hasn't pumped out a new installment every year, and the time off shows. The game has taken a decidedly new direction for the series, and has changed in many ways for the better.
Luckily, this willingness on the developers part to take their time to make a game great has paid off financially, as well as critically. Origins sold double the numbers that previous entry, Assassin's Creed Syndicate (which was honestly quite good).
Interestingly, it sold about the same amount of physical copies as its predecessor, and the main difference is in the number of digital purchases; 35% of sales were digital. Surely, someone somewhere is furiously analyzing the market to find ways to capitalize on this, and we can only hope their discoveries will be good for the consumer.

Law enforcement seized 2 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of $35,000.
ZANESVILLE - Two men who are part of a cartel and a major influence in Muskingum County where drug trafficking is concerned are in custody, according to Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz.
Terry M. Bocook, 39, of Zanesville, and Michel E. Yanni, 41, of Columbus, are being held in Muskingum County jail on trafficking charges, each with a $1 million bond.
On Oct. 30, the Muskingum County/Zanesville City Joint Drug unit, along with the Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force executed a search warrant at a Lexington Avenue address.
As a result of the search warrant, a large amount of methamphetamine was recovered and Bocook was taken into custody as a major drug offender.
"This is someone that has been on our radar for years," said Zanesville Police Chief Tony Coury.
Later that evening, CODE conducted a traffic stop on Ohio 40 in Brownsville where Yanni was taken into custody after agents found a large amount of methamphetamine in his possession.
In all, law enforcement seized 2 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of $35,000.
Bocook was formerly charged with one count of trafficking in drugs with a major drug offender specification and one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity with a major drug offender specification, felonies of the first-degree, and money laundering, a third-degree felony.
If convicted of all charges, Bocook faces a mandatory 11 years and up to 25 years in prison.
Yanni was charged with one count of trafficking in drugs with a major drug offender specification, a first-degree felony, and one count of permitting drug abuse, a fifth-degree felony.
If convicted on these charges, he faces a mandatory 11 years and a maximum of 12 years in prison.
"This is not just your street corner drug dealing," Lutz said. "This is organized stuff."

The Key to Success: Believing is Seeing!
You probably heard it or said it yourself when someone made a promise they couldn’t keep. Or someone was declaring an event would happen that didn’t.
While that may sound good, the truth of the matter is that if you can’t visualize what you are working toward, chances are you will not realize your goal as easily. When I was preparing for my first black belt, I began to see myself as already having the black belt.
In this quick video, I share the value of visualization in realizing success.
Visualization is powerful when you think about your goal as already having happened. Feel the feelings you would have if your goal was a reality. The more powerful the feelings, the more vivid the visualization.
Be as detailed as possible in your visualization. By envisioning every detail, you will give more impetus to your vision, helping you create action steps to realize your dream.
When you are heading into a sales conversation, visualizing a positive outcome will create confidence. During the conversation with the customer, you will more naturally lead the customer in a mutually beneficial decision. Keep in mind that when 2 people meet, the more confident person will influence the other person.
Comment below and let me know how visualization works for you!

Forum Topic "Minor windows 10 update = games freezing"
and yes, drivers are up to date.
Forum Topic "Help modding my1080ti SC2"
Yeah i figured the LED's would require little more juice, which is why my goal was to have one fan for each plug in on gpu instead of having a splitter to plug into one. Thanks for the help!
Is there a difference between the two? They look the same to me.
Forum Topic "2080ti 650watt power supply"
Funny you say that because I'm selling my 1080ti sc2 because it's too loud to me.
Forum Topic "Gtx 1080 ti fan curve"
It's common for FE to be at that temp. 84c is fine, and in fact it's designed to throttle so that it stays at that temp. If you want it to be lower you can by cranking up fans. Should give a little extra boost while adding noise.
Forum Topic "Can I add extra thermal pads to GPU?"
Forum Topic "Gigabyte 2080 OC RGB problems"
No one has had this happen? Or a fix? I'd like to keep the GPU but if a 750 card is giving me this much trouble i'm ready to return.
Do you know where I might start with my current 4.7? I'm guessing you up the voltage in small incriments and stress test to see if it's stable.
that's great info! Overclocking is addictive. I should be happy with 4.7 but now i want to push further lol, esp after you wrote this.
Forum Topic "The faster teh fans on GPU, the hotter the temps"
2x 120mm fans for exhaust in back. One 1000 rpm other non pwm 450rpm on top of case.
yeah i think i'm set for a while. Only reason why I would delid would be in the future when I want to see if i can get 5 or more. Thanks for the help!
Good to know. It's my first overclock attempt and while it's a safe easy overclock for now, still can get stressful lol.
Forum Topic "Do I need 2 seperate PSU for GPU?"
it did....but if i use the 2 seperate that means you have a pair of 6/8 pins dangling from each one.
doh...alright. Looks ugly as hell if i use the two that came with psu since I'll have 2 pairs of 8 pins flopping around so time to invest in some on amazon I guess.
Forum Topic "Less VRAM on 2080 than 1080ti"
I always use DDU when installing new GPU.
Forum Topic "Fed up with PC enthusiasts on youtube"
Yeah...again don't think it's right having to fix it for them when paying that much.
I ask because with my 1080ti i had ZERO issues with apex. Then with the 2080 it's lagging like crazy and crashing Rolled back drivers to what you prob have but still it almost freezes for split seconds routinely then back to usual.
Are you getting this intermittent lag with apex on the 2080? I rolled back to the same drivers you probably did and it seems very routine that there's a spit second lag taking place ever few seconds and it's very annoying.
Forum Topic "Gigabyte 2080 OC fan question"
Looks like it's a known problem. Not really a problem but minor annoyance.
Forum Topic "How to clean thermal pads off of GPU?"
Forum Topic "2080's and freezing issues..."
yeah i bought for 709 on amazon. Currently it's on newegg for about 675 with coupon if i'm not mistaken.
good o'l coil whine! What kind of 2080 did you get?
but seems like speed doesn't matter if you run out. Just trying to understand it.
Yeah i looked some up and noticed it uses less ram in youtube vids was curious to how that works.
Forum Topic "What causes this GPU fan noise?"
is it an EVGA? I don't overclock though the sc2 def. boosts itself. When fans are at 30% it's basically cooling down after a game.
Forum Topic "Basic overclock questions"
yeah i get the general idea of it. I'm very cautious when it comes to this stuff.
I'm going to hold off on overclocking anwyays. I thought it might help with a particular game with studdering problems, but looks like it won't be fixed with that. The other games I play have no prob reaching frame rates I want at boost speeds at this point.
Oh, and what about the auto overlcock that's in the bios? Is that safe to try out?
i've been happy with boost speeds so far anyways (4300mhz on all cores). I'll see how far I can push it when I need to and don't mind going down the road of a delid.
Forum Topic "Diff between these 2 fans?"
woops, meant to post both that have PWM.
woops didn't see the sli.
What resolution you playing at? 1080p would be best.
Forum Topic "Tuning front case fans to CPU temps help"
yeah I'm using MSI right now to curve GPU fans. But what I'll look for is something that will curve case fans WITH the GPU temps.
However, there must be software that curves fans with GPU. Surprised I can't do that on my motherboard, but oh well.
Thanks. Only trouble was the GPU. Got on ebay with person that said, "like new, runs like new.." he had a great reputation, but this thing was dirty and loud until i cleaned it and reapplied thermal paste to GPU.
Thanks for the help! I did an experiment and cranked the two 140 fans in the front while GPU stress testing, and the impact was minimal, if at all. So for now, I simply have them at a constant 40% since it's not loud at all, i think it's around 800rpm. That seems to get enough hot air out of the case without being loud.
Forum Topic "GPU fans almost 70% under load"
I may have already responded to you in a previous post but trying to update everyone - reapplied thermal paste and very satisfied with results. 77C is still there, but fans haven't reached past 48% yet. And this is under full load for extended period of time. Not the 75%-90% while I play a game. Good results!

Just did it, and love the results. Much quieter!

are you getting this intermittent lag with apex on the 2080? i rolled back to the same drivers you probably did and it seems very routine that there's a spit second lag taking place ever few seconds and it's very annoying.
forum topic "gigabyte 2080 oc fan question"
looks like it's a known problem. not really a problem but minor annoyance.
forum topic "how to clean thermal pads off of gpu?"
forum topic "2080's and freezing issues..."
yeah i bought for 709 on amazon. currently it's on newegg for about 675 with coupon if i'm not mistaken.
good o'l coil whine! what kind of 2080 did you get?
but seems like speed doesn't matter if you run out. just trying to understand it.
yeah i looked some up and noticed it uses less ram in youtube vids was curious to how that works.
forum topic "what causes this gpu fan noise?"
is it an evga? i don't overclock though the sc2 def. boosts itself. when fans are at 30% it's basically cooling down after a game.
forum topic "basic overclock questions"
yeah i get the general idea of it. i'm very cautious when it comes to this stuff.
i'm going to hold off on overclocking anwyays. i thought it might help with a particular game with studdering problems, but looks like it won't be fixed with that. the other games i play have no prob reaching frame rates i want at boost speeds at this point.
oh, and what about the auto overlcock that's in the bios? is that safe to try out?
i've been happy with boost speeds so far anyways (4300mhz on all cores). i'll see how far i can push it when i need to and don't mind going down the road of a delid.
forum topic "diff between these 2 fans?"
woops, meant to post both that have pwm.
woops didn't see the sli.
what resolution you playing at? 1080p would be best.
forum topic "tuning front case fans to cpu temps help"
yeah i'm using msi right now to curve gpu fans. but what i'll look for is something that will curve case fans with the gpu temps.
however, there must be software that curves fans with gpu. surprised i can't do that on my motherboard, but oh well.
thanks. only trouble was the gpu. got on ebay with person that said, "like new, runs like new.." he had a great reputation, but this thing was dirty and loud until i cleaned it and reapplied thermal paste to gpu.
thanks for the help! i did an experiment and cranked the two 140 fans in the front while gpu stress testing, and the impact was minimal, if at all. so for now, i simply have them at a constant 40% since it's not loud at all, i think it's around 800rpm. that seems to get enough hot air out of the case without being loud.
forum topic "gpu fans almost 70% under load"
i may have already responded to you in a previous post but trying to update everyone - reapplied thermal paste and very satisfied with results. 77c is still there, but fans haven't reached past 48% yet. and this is under full load for extended period of time. not the 75%-90% while i play a game. good results!
forum topic "ever reapplied paste to a gpu?"
just did it, and love the results. much quieter!

So, with this in mind, we built our own content management system, DealerCMS™, that is specifically built for motorcycle dealers. It's so easy to use that your Nan's Nan could use it!
This said, although we're totally confident that we have the best CMS solution in the motorcycle industry, we still find that some dealers simply want us to take care of everything for them - things like news articles, special offers, banner adverts etc etc.. We are of course very happy to help here, and have a strong team of designers and marketeers ready to help you - follow the link for more information on our dealer marketing services.

This “Before” photo shows how the attic space had no insulation—no wonder the rooms below were cold! Our insulation crew blew in TruSoft™ cellulose to the R-38 level. Besides making a nice “blanket” in the attic (see “After” photo), it will also have the added benefit of deterring rodents from nesting. This cellulose is treated with borate, and animals do not like to be in it.
Our goal is to make your Dayton home more comfortable, more health friendly, and less expensive to heat and cool. In our energy audit evaluation, we inspect your home and provide reports on the condition of major systems like ductwork and insulation. We then check air leakage areas throughout the house to identify weak points where you are losing energy. We then provide recommendations with realistic expectations for energy improvements and offer a free estimate for proposed work.
This five-year-old home had water in the crawl space and rodents were making their home in the insulation.

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Apparently even rats like fancy digs.
According to various reports, the plaza across from the swanky Plaza Hotel is being overrun by rats.
The Grand Army Plaza Park has apparently become a new hangout for the four-legged vermin as some locals can attest to.
“When I come in the morning around 6 o’clock, I have to get the spot. I see a lot of rats moving around the park,” one street vendor told 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa.
Some area regulars said a build-up of trash, less traps and feed for carriage horses in nearby Central Park didn’t help the situation.
“There’s always rats around here. They’re big rats too,” said another man.
Others, however, don’t see what everyone is clamoring about.
“I’m coming over here almost everyday. I don’t see rat in the area over here,” one man said.

« The BDA Blog Will Start Soon!
Published on November 8, 2010 in Marketing. 3 Comments Tags: Marketing, marketing plan.
As the first step in the consulting process that I use with our clients, I spend a full day at their facility conducting a marketing planning meeting. Since we practice what we preach, we recently spent the entire day putting BDA through that same on-site consulting process.
While the process really delivered some important information that will help us better serve our clients and continue to grow, part of the exercise was to better help us understand the process from our clients’ point of view.
At the beginning of our meeting I noticed the emotions that I had running through me. I was a bit nervous about a number of things. I was opening up my entire company, that I have put my heart and soul into, to the criticism of my employees. I was nervous about what it might take to accomplish my goals. I was even worried that perhaps I had overestimated what was possible and would have to rethink everything.
But, having done this with so many clients, I was comfortable that the outcome would be positive, and I would have a much improved understanding of our business, our current marketing situation and what would have to be accomplished to achieve our goals.
The day flew by (for me at least ). And running through the processes I use with clients proved to be extremely valuable, especially with the insights of my team. It really impressed me how involved they are in our business and how much insight they have in areas that to some extent were blind spots for me.
I was really wiped out by the end of the day, but had a much clearer understanding of the true nature of the business and, even more importantly, that we could accomplish my goals and had a roadmap to follow.
While certain aspects of exactly how we will get there will be clarified in the final marketing plan, I now had a specific understanding of what activities were priorities in terms of accomplishing our goals and which were less important. I am using this understanding every day to better manage my team. It’s a great feeling to know that a decision and a task that we are completing today is moving us another step closer to our ultimate goals.
Hi there it’s me, I am also visiting this site daily, this site is truly fastidious and the people are really sharing pleasant thoughts.
who you are however definitely you are going to a famous blogger should you aren’t already. Cheers!

1) Put the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl and rub in the margarine.
2) Add sugar and stir in the syrup and egg to make a firm dough.
3) Roll out to 1/2cm thick and cut out required shapes.
4) Bake at 190 degrees on greased baking trays (make sure they're well spaced out as they will expand!) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
5) Once cooked leave for a couple of minutes before placing in a wire rack to cool.
6) Once cooled, decorate with icing as required.
If you don't like ginger then cinnamon or vanilla essence will also make lovely biscuits.

text: Discipline in trading is a HUGE deal and one thing many tend to struggle with. I cannot stress enough the idea of just making $300-$500 a day and stopping. Most traders that can do this end up developing discipline and focus as they start, creating great habits. As you progress you can add contract size but the first few months are pivotal. Too many times do traders try to rush it and trade larger because they won a few trades only to give it back. When you stick to your business plan, you succeed. Today we received an email from a client discussing his recent trading and some insight that is valuable.

Looking back, it was pretty dumb to think that people got to the Americas from Asia once, or that a single group braved the ice bridge to the new world. A cool new study published online today in the journal Current Biology may bury that simplistic assumption once and for all: according to the evidence of mitochondrial DNA, the first Americans arrived in at least two separate migrations, at about the same time, about 15,000 to 17,000 years ago.
New genetic evidence makes that case more solid. Although the human genome project hasn’t been the promised godsend for human health and medicine (that link is to a 2005 article, but nothing much has changed in three years), it’s definitely been a boon to studies of human evolution and prehistory.
The new genetic analysis looks at mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mothers to their children. Specifically, it looks at two rare mitochondrial DNA types that share a maternal ancestor. People carrying the type called D4h3 entered North America from Siberia and hugged the Pacific coastline, from which ice had mostly disappeared after the glacial maximum, the scientists conclude; they eventually reached Tierra del Fuego. People carrying the other mitochondrial form, X2a, set off inland, following a land corridor between two ice sheets which led them into the region east of the Rocky Mountains. They remained in North America. These first Americans were the ancestors of almost all modern Native Americans in North, Central, and South America (but not the Na-Dene or the Eskimos-Aleuts of the arctic).
“Two almost concomitant paths of migration . . . about 15,000 to 17,000 years ago led to the dispersal of Paleo-Indians, the first Americans,” said Antonio Torroni of the University of Pavia in Italy, who led the study (he made a splash last year when another genetic analysis suggested that a mere six women in the migration were the ancestors of all the Native Americans). That means the most likely scenario is that, within a few centuries, there were several arrivals into the Americas from Siberia. Did the earliest arrivals send back a scout to tell the stay-at-homes that this new world was worth a look? Did difficult conditions or population pressure in Siberia nudge people to seek greener pastures?
