Then you just don't understand the viewpoint of a landlord. If I have to coordinate service to fix the waterheater or something but I live 3 towns over, it's a lot easier to give a technician a temporary password to the property in a set time window.
/To do this requires a good relationship with your tenants and technicians

- noobiemcfoob 8y agoYou are greatly overestimating the amount of energy and time the average tenant will put into fixing anything in the property. I wish I could count on them to help in coordinating.

- noobiemcfoob 8y agoYou would think a tenant would be eager to get something fixed. I had a tenant with a broken water heater who waited 3 weeks to tell me. In the winter! /shrug I try not to judge
