Laval story: bunker construction condemns building
Seven Laval households suddenly lost their living spaces late last week when it was discovered that one of the building’s tenants had damaged and weakened the whole structure by excavating a bunker under it.

and some wonder why no one wants to be a mom & pop landlord anymore…

Most of us are not excavating bunkers, Chris.

Seven households is hardly a mom n’ pop landlord either, for that matter.

Feeling very literal today Kate? No kidding this is the craziest example ever of a horrible tenant. But for one, rare freak occurrences have a disproportionate influence on the irrational human mind, but more to the point, it’s just an extreme example of the many kinds of crazy things (some small number of shitty) tenants do that turns potential landlords off. Soon we’ll be like the USA with Blackrock being the landlord.

No, I wasn’t feeling literal. By “excavating bunkers” I meant, metaphorically, making any radical changes in properties that don’t belong to us. Most tenants are well aware of the limits of what we’re permitted to do to our living spaces.

Chris, by your logic all landlords are like Blackrock so we as tenants should despair.
There may be some option other than the extremes, ‘sayin. Sure tehre are shitty landlords and shitty tenants but on the bell curve there’s jsut as many excellent ones and a whole spread of ones that are good to ok.
