I will admit it, I am not a very good landlord.
I have a rental home and I do absolutely no work to it.
Anytime a renter calls me for help, I let them know their rent is going up. How I justify it is that if I call a HVAC contractor or a plumber for them, it will come from their rent. So if I need to schedule service for them, I add more onto their bills. I also don’t like going over to the rental property if they need help. I don’t check drains, clean windows or paint the rooms. What you see is what you get. All my renters are on the same page except for Jenna. Jenna calls me at least once a month for problems. She wants a plumber, electrician or HVAC technician just about every month. When I threaten to raise her rent she then drops it. Her newest thing was actually a real issue that I did not realize since she cries wolf so often. She called me multiple times about bees in her air ducts. I figured it was just one bee. I told her get spray and be done with it. She kept calling and begging for an exterminator. Rather than call the pest guy I called a HVAC contractor and figured I would get duct cleaning anway. The HVAC professional did not end up doing the job. Apparently there was a swarm of bees so bad in the air ducts that he could not get in her apartment. I actually had to call an exterminator.
