Excerpts from actual letters sent to landlords...



The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.

I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfires and burnt my knob off.

This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.

The toilet seat is cracked: where do I stand?

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.

I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

The person next door has a large erection in his back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk? Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.

Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it.

Will you please send a man to look at my water? It is a funny color and not fit to drink.

Would you please send a man to repair my downspout? I am an old-age pensioner and need it straight away.

Could you please send someone to fix our bath tap? My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us.

I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 5:30 his cock wakes me up, and it is getting too much.

When the workmen were here, they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.

 

10 Comments on Letters to a Landord... (just for fun:o)

This is comedic!  I enjoyed a good laugh.  It is funny the material you can find to give a good laugh.

Thanks for the humor.  I needed it tonight.  My husband and I just got home from replacing a perfectly good toilet with a brand new one to stop our tenants' complaints.  If that wasn't bad enough, I was carrying the old toilet out of the house and one of the tenant's pulled up and parked his car at the bottom of the steps I was decending and left me only narrow passage between the house and car to carry the toilet.  I tripped over something on the ground and fell over the toilet.  I had told my husband to tell the tenant to move and he insisted I could make it where the car was!  Needless to say, I was not happy when I got up off the ground!  I stomped back into the house and told my husband to finish up and get out of there.  First replacing a good toilet and then falling.  I was slightly upset and everyone knew it when I got done screaming "I am fine" while stomping back into the house.

You know, it's in a market like the one we are in now that we need to remember to find some humor.  Sometimes, I really think it's the only reason my broker keeps me on board - my wanting to laugh and make the rest of the office laugh with me.  I'm sure my blog should be much more informative.  But personally, I'd rather share some smiles.

Don't you hate those neighbors with the large erections in their yard.  Too funny, thanks for the laugh!

How about the tenant that called to have the furnace fixed, then the hot water heater, when they called about the stove not working, we asked them if it might be possible that the gas company had shut-off their gas. Answer - yes but why would that effect the heat, hot water, stove etc??? (true story, happened last week!)

Same complex, we get repeated calls from tenant about bugs. we schedule exterminator, notify tenant on Nov. 30th that exterminator is coming on Dec. 3rd and get complaint from tenant that it is to close to the holidays.

Again same complex, tenant tell us that it is our fault that she had to change her locks. Why exactly did she have to change them, someone was coming into her apartment when she was at work. Did she have any idea who this was? Yes it was her daughter  to have sex.. So, tenant, it my fault that as landlord, your daughter is coming into your apartment to engage in sexual activity, with the key that you gave her? Yes. It is your fault that she has a key. Landlord - I didn't give your daughter a key. Tenanat - Yes, I know I did, but you should have told me it might be a problem!!!

The scary thing is that these are all actual calls/issues I've dealt with in the last 2 weeks.
