My tenant actually came with the house. As a result, I've only been in there a couple of times and I have to say, it's a dive. My tenant, on the other hand, is a gem. She house sits for me whenever I go out of town, feeding my dog, watering my plants and bringing in my mail. A couple of years ago my water heater exploded and my basement filled up while I was on a two-week vacation and she dealt with it all by herself. I am so happy to have her I keep asking her what I can do with the apartment that will make her life better. She won't let me do much but a few months ago I bought her a new stove. <BR/><BR/>She pays very little rent and all her utilities are on me and I'm still constantly afraid she'll move out! I'm so afraid that my next tenant will be a bad one that I'm afraid I won't rent it again when she does leave. You're right, being a landlord is not for sissies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-56604769210331378332008-11-26T12:36:00.000-05:002008-11-26T12:36:00.000-05:00Thanks Laura!
