Bugger. That tenant is a dead set legend though. I guess you are sadly getting the full brunt of what renting is like now. Mad prices for poorly maintained holes, lying abound...

Yeah, some of it is not good. I did go to another place this afternoon which was really great. But it also had about 30 people at the inspection, and I heard one women asking if she can still make an offer of higher rent. So I don't think I have any chance at that one, but at least it was not a depressing hellhole.

I have another inspection lined up for Saturday, and a few for Tuesday. Trying to keep track of them all, plus whether I have inspecte/applied for etc. is becoming a challenge.

Oh well, worst case scenario I end up living in the van, which is really quite roomy...
