Yep, there's that. And it hadn't even occurred to me that I could always just call someone in if I had a problem and deduct it from rent or get reimbursed somehow. That's not a big deal, and I can ask him about that if a problem comes up, I guess.
I'd much rather have a landlord that lets me be independent than one who hovers like a mother hen and doesn't trust me even so. *shudder* Still speaking of my old landlord. That wasn't fun.
