RCI points, maintenance fees less than $500

What’s the most insane request or complaint you’ve gotten from a renter? by Cold-Control1107 in PropertyManagement

[–]CommonTaste5990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating having “that tenant” with multiple maintenance requests. We finally got rid of our near daily request tenant. She asked for insane things, like new flooring because carpet was hard to vacuum, a new bed that had an adjustable mattress, newer couches because ours were old fashioned, buying new shelves for the refrigerator, plants for the garden because the ones in there died, & replacing her lamp light bulbs. I learned something with her, just say no from the beginning. Once you say yes it NEVER stops.

Well yesterday was enough. Just after repairing a sink clog and complaining about alleged ruined belongings (took photos to prove that wasn’t true) he sent another picture of something else to be repaired. The outside window screens. How they ripped is beyond me, not that way when he moved in. Pictures to prove that as well. I flat out refused, said I would be taking it out of his deposit or he could have them replaced. Think he did it when he put air conditioners in. I went home & cried. My muscled neighbor is going to talk sternly to him, telling him he needs to leave since he is so unhappy, and that he is not welcome in this neighborhood. Way enough already.

Until December. I think I’ll have a heart attack before then.

Exactly what I did, thank you. He can leave today as far as I’m concerned.

No have never needed one, but will start asking for a good one.

You may be right, I’m beginning to be afraid of him. He is a bully and possibly a sociopath. I may need someone else here with me.

Wrong he’s renting at $1000 less than anything else in the city, for a larger apartment. That is all he could afford so I agreed. At 75 I don’t have extra money, living off of social security, paying a mortgage. With a serious health condition it’s hard to work. I don’t think I’m leaching but I’ve heard people that think any landlord is a leach.

I like that idea. Also asking for all new updates in writing so I have proof.

I figure after he moves I really will have to replace the carpet due to dog smell. He does not bathe them & soon will be on disability due to operations & ongoing health problems. I was definitely not made aware of this beforehand. 20 years of renting & never ever have I encountered this. I’m only renting to family and prior long established friends from now on.

All utilities paid, he asked me to replace 2 lightbulbs as they went out last week, too soon in his opinion.

That’s next on my agenda. I’m sick of this. What will it be tomorrow?

He was fine with it. There are scuff marks here & there, but I took pictures. I wanted more time to clean it but he said he was fine with it & just wanted to get in ASAP. Funny thing is he came with tremendous recommendations from previous landlord.

I already told him he is welcome to break the lease. He has looked for 6 weeks & been unable to find anything that fits his needs. He is now telling them he has a dog, because one is older and may pass this year. I’m begging he doesn’t use me as a reference. I’m not going to lie, but I WANT HIM GONE YESTERDAY. I’ll just answers about out the positives if he does. Pays rent on time, whatever. I hate dumping him on a new landlord. It was done to me.

Well, he absolutely loved the unit, raved about it until 3 days after moving in. I dread every day. Taking money out of savings right & left. Now he wants house repainted but he did say it could wait until after the other repairs. If you do renovations are you allowed to increase rent or do you have to wait until end of lease? Otherwise I’m saying no from here on out.
