I am thinking, if I start a thread about tales from the landlord world, would anyone be interested ?



Oh… the tales I could tell…starting with the tenant who conducted a religious fire cleansing ceremony, complete with loin clothed priest in full trance and facial paint…started fire in turkey roasting pan on carpeted living room floor…in a building which had tenants traumatized by a previous fire…tenant proceeded to scream at first responders to turn of the %^&^% fire alarms because she was almost done. Same person had moved her parents and sister into unit after divorce so family could help care for newborn. Yes, we evicted her, even after tearful promises to never hold a fire ceremony again. I figured we could still be in for a surprise during ‘water cleansing’ time…I could see her turning on the bath tub water and leaving for the weekend!

Best laugh of the day was when another tenant wanted to know why SHE had gotten a fireplace (saw wood logs being taking into unit) and when was THEIR fireplace being installed. Yup, ya can’t make this stuff up.

Still…laughing all the way to the bank…may write a book when the empty nest kicks in.
