If anyone thinks being a landlord is easy, then here’s a story that may change your mind! I was contacted by a landlord who owns a modest two-bedroom rental that is in what was once a tidy part of a town. By all accounts it’s a very pleasant little abode - nice views, a sunny aspect, and plenty of space for the kids to run about. A good little rental, one would have thought, and it was until the Housing Corporation bought the neighbouring properties.
Within a year the area
has become a hell-hole and the investor’s nice rental a nightmare. Fortunately
the gang that moved into one of the houses has since vacated, but not before
the landlord’s previous tenant packed their bags and left his property.
