I am surprised to be the first one to write that renters can be jerks too. I have been screwed out of thousands of dollars from damage that crooked tenants did to my apartment after I treated them with nothing but respect. I have gotten tired of dealing with jerks and may be selling my one rental property in about a year because of all the hassles. Some have these ideas that all landlords are these high rollers that can easily afford the expense these jerks dish out, but the truth of it is I decided to park my $10,000 in real estate instead of mutual funds five years ago and became a landlord.
Some landlords are jerks, but I would argue that there are at least as many tenants who are jerks - maybe more.
