My husband and I are owner/landord of a single family home. What most renters don't realize is this is business-not personal. We have a very specific lease, but nothing outrageous. We have a few simple request: Pay the rent on time, treat the property with respect and keep it clean. Communication is key in any relationship and a landlord cannot read your mind.If the rent is late call and say why and when the rent will be paid. We've gone the extra mile to put in all new flooring, new appliances, fresh paint, blinds, etc and things can be ruined in a 2 month period.
There are some bad landlords out their that take advantage, but the tenants know how to play the game too. It's an old saying, but simple "Treat people like you want to be treated".
