Does this mean that landlords are not allowed to add their opinion?
I've been a renter several times, having been military, and owned several homes. When I rented, I cared for the residence as if it were my own. I had no problems, therefore, not once, did I have a landlord refuse to return or keep the damage deposit.
But when I rented my own home out as I was being transferred to Germany, three families cycled through the house. My manager had to evict the first couple as they split up and the woman refused to pay rent. The second woman, who worked for the WA F&W moved here from Wisconsin, paid the first months rent then refused to pay another sent, because my manager refused to allow her convicted for sexual assault boyfriend to move in without a background check. She also kept her two unhousebroken dogs in the house despite the rule saying no dogs. The woman squatted for six months until she found a house to buy. And she made far more money than I ever hoped to.
My third set of renters kept the house relatively clean, but tried to change the lease with my manager. while I was still in Germany. They showed her a form they'd forged saying I'd agreed. to them doing a 'rent-to-own' lease. She refused, IT was not and is not for sale. Their reasoning was 'we really like this place." Well, so do I and it's my house, I want to live it in again as I'm now retired.
So my opinion of most renters is not very good.
When the government casts landlords as 'greedy' and 'making money off poor people', they 're playing to the public. They refuse to accept that we have to live, too, landlords have to pay property taxes on two homes, not just one, taxes are always going up, maintainence on the proeperty and insurance. Among many other things.
I bet I'm not the only home owner who rented the home out for whatever reason. I have heard reall horror stories. And it's why I am like so many other landlords these days. I won't ever rent it out again. I'll burn it down before I do that.
