The reality of being a landlord

[LandlordLife @LifeLandlord]

Tenant: “I’m not paying rent because you won’t fix anything”

Also tenant: “I’m not paying rent because you fix too much”

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The work on my building is endless and invasive, with workers coming in and out all day. Can I withhold my rent? https://t.co/GjcUcYmuy8

I don’t know why people do the things they do. I just….I just can’t. #DoIGetMyDepositBack

Merry Christmas from those of us who will get to fix your toilet after Uncle Randy eats too much stuffing and blows it up. #OnCallChristmas

When buying a flat-screen tv, always remember to put the box in your neighbour's bin so you don't get burgled.

Look, I don’t want to lose @pizzahut as a corporate sponsor of Landlord Life. I think they do a lot of things really well. They aren’t great at fixing window screens though. #BeBetter

@Fueldrum Just don’t install it upside down or else it perpetually tells you “NO”

I taught a grown man (with a phd) how to use a light switch today. As in, “the light only works when you flip this switch”. How’s your Tuesday going?

Pro tip Tuesday- when installing a new mailbox, the bottom of the mailbox should be approximately 42” from the street and should be set in from the road approximately 7”. #USPS #MailCall #QuitRunningOverMyMailbox

There are a number of ways to store hot ash from a grill. Metal buckets are a popular go-to for instance. Cardboard Amazon boxes however are highly ill-advised. #FireSafety #BurnItDown

GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE EXCEPT the woman at my co-op who complained to the board about me and my toddler using sidewalk chalk in the courtyard.

So I wrote her a little letter.
In sidewalk chalk. In the courtyard.

@danidavey You can add landlords to the pessimism = profit narrative. There are many very helpful landlords who act charitably towards their tenants. Such actions are great for a community and simultaneously horrible for a business plan/model

All the people who spent last month demanding state-forced births are spending this month mocking paid parental leave, I see.

One kitchen fireball coming right up. #OhShit

If I charged $1/pube I just cleaned out of this sink, this tenant would owe me $10,000.

True story- we once had an animal claw/chew their way out of our roof. OUT. Not in. The exit wound was very clear.

You’ve all heard the legend of the guy renovating an old home and finding a Babe Ruth card hidden in a wall cavity. On a MUCH smaller scale, I am that guy. Found this buried under 1970’s era cabinetry. From the 1964 Topps Beatles set #TheHobby
