The moral of the story is that its tough to get good tenants, and if you follow the rules and pay your rent on time, most landlords are willing to go the extra mile for you.
This is so true. Most tenants don’t realize this, but I’m one of the lucky landlords right now. Best tenant in the world rents the house that we lived in for 20-plus years. They are just kids practically, but really good tenants.
