Slumlords
So we've been looking pretty hard for a house recently. We went and looked at house tonight and it was actually really nice and pretty affordable. The only thing was when we were waiting for the landlord to come show it to us, the nieghbor told us he was the "landlord form hell!" and that he tries to keep everones deposits, which seemed to fit as he wants twice the month's rent for a deposit. As he was showing the house to us he was like "tenants did this" and "tenants did that" about ever little thing wrong about the house. Apparently, the former ternnants are paying his wife to clean the house because it wasn't clean enough... seemed pretty clean to me! My though was "is it going to be clean enough when we move out?"... i don't think so. And like the first thing he told us was how heels were the worst thing for wood floors (because Becky was wearing them) as if to say "well i'll be charging you for damaged floors..." I've never had any problems (for the most part) with a landlord, but I guess it's somethig I'm going to consider...
