>With the landlord living just two streets away they're sometimes inclined to take things personal and show up on your doorstep. Or worse: They will try to fix/repair things themselves, instead of hiring an actual professional for the job. My landlord, a brain surgeon, won't hire anybody for anything. Instead, he will come over himself and try to fix things he clearly has no clue about. Last time he cut himself trying to fix the parquet floor, ended up bleeding all over the place. I had to repaint some of the walls and the floor is still in a shoddy state.
