So, my parents love investing in property, and they've got a number of unoccupied apartments: one of them being one of the units in my parents' residential apartment. Mam decided to turn it into an AirBnB, and has pushed all responsibility of handling it to me. ok. So this one dude contacts me to book for a week plus, for his boss to stay in. The night before checkout, I told the guy to leave the keys in the unit, and I'll have someone pick it up. He says okay. Tomorrow comes in, and boy oh boy. 1. Apparently their guest didn't get the memo and just brought the keys with them and handed it back to the dude I was talking to. 2. Dude says he'll drop it off in our apartment at 8pm. 3. Dude suddenly wants to rent one of our other units yearly. 4. Me: oh okay just tell me when you'll arrive so I can have someone else go down and take the key from you. 5. Parents come to check out the unit. Apparently it was left in a disgusting state, and the guest smoked, which we clearly told them they were not allowed to do. Now mam is mad and wants to get compensation. 6. Before I could tell my mom's complaint to the guy, the guy's reply to #4: okay, but what if I wanted to meet you instead..? . . . so, how has ya'lls Tuesday been? :|
The audacity of the person to ask for yearly rents while damn well knowing they left the place looking like a pig sty... I'm screaming Also it's only 8:30am for me so I just woke up
Hmmm this is why i'm resisting the urge to become a landlord. A friend and i were talking about buying an apartment building togedder to rent out but i have heard too many horror stories off reddit to feel properly comfortable doing that. My tuesday is good though. I slept in a cute person's bed and just got home. I haven't eaten for 3 days cuz i've been spending all my time with them tho so i am about to get on that
I didn't see it for myself, but damn. I feel bad tho, cause the dude wasn't living there, his guest was. :/ O this is the only "horror story" so far that I've heard from my parents, and it's been like three months. Pls pray that there's less of these. :| O CUTE PERSON. wawie wawie make sure to use protection even tho you don't need them tbh
Don't feel bad. The dude is intentionally putting you in an awkward position by flirting with you when you are in a position of authority.
That was the biggest shock I've had all week tbh. I just went from pitying this dude from having a terrible guest boss, to 'get away from this creep dahek'. I went to sleep and handed it to my mam to avoid it all. :/ Unless he flirts with my mam too then asdfghjkl
ngl, my mam will probably just terrify the man and demand her 500 usd compensation for smoking before he can say a thing. :lol:
Hopefully you don't have anymore issues, yeah. I just remember this long reddit thread of people talking about how they tried to get into the landlording business and all the ways people trashed the homes they bought and a lot of the landlords lost money with repairs and missing rent rather than made money :c And sti's are still a thing, so i shall use protection if it is ever needed! Tbh we just cuddled all night it was very cute
