    - too busy having money fights. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 13:25
- or as he calls it, "walking around money". -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 13:07 3
  - For some reason, I have no concept on whether he's a good or bad mayor. I just know him because of his wealth. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 2, 13:19 2
    - mixed bag, imho. -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 13:21 1

    - Put our terms ina lease and try not to budge. We do budge sometimes but within limits. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 14:16
    - It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be, but as soon as it becomes too much work, I'll hire a property manager. -- nm - ceregon Feb 2, 14:00
    - the amanda has the right idea, hire a property manager. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 2, 13:53 3
      - I'm kind of surprised that the building doesn't have one available already - znufrii Feb 2, 14:00

    - it's bad that I want to drop anyone that annoys me into a volcano, isnt it? -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 13:09 1
      - there's someone I'd like to introduce you to... -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:12

    - oh suck. offer her $50 off a month's rent for the cleaning, and say too bad about the paint. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:07 8
      - this would set a bad, bad precedent. She'd call and complain about everything -- nm - Epiphany Feb 2, 13:13
      - don't offer her crap. He me his obligation. She can suck it. -- nm - decline Feb 2, 13:08 6
        
        maybe her version of clean isn't his. I mean... -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:11 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        true, really. I mean, aren't you supposed to re-clean when you move in? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:15 3
        
        and apparently put down contact paper - decline Feb 2, 13:16 1
        
        I don't clean when I move in -- I wait until my stuff is in and moved around and the dust has landed and then I attack. - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:19

    - We're talking about New York City. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 13:11 9
      - right; I'd have done the same thing there. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:12 8
        
        It all depends on the people. We've let some paint but it created so much damage that we no longer allow it. I don't hate tenants, I feel like you... - lileve Feb 2, 13:13 7
        
        (and you do hate renters. you just do.) -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:38 1
        
        I don't. I just don't have stories of the ones that are awesome because we never hear from them except for the check that comes in every month. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 14:19
        
        but how is new york city different to anywhere letting people paint? I'd ask anywhere I lived. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:14 4
        
        I guess my point is that many people are far more demanding and assuming. - lileve Feb 2, 13:25 3
        
        but bad apples happen everywhere. not just in NYC. and if you vet your tenants, you shouldn't have these issues. and why would a tenant pay appliance - the amanda nones Feb 2, 13:30 2
        
        As for vetting we have an application and a required credit check. Works well except for the one or two looneys. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 13:52
        
        It's in the lease aggreement that they are to call a repair man and be responsible for the first x amount. The lease was... - lileve Feb 2, 13:51
- Tell her to deal with it. She can re-paint if she wants, you are way too nice pleasing. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 13:04
- [deleted] 5
  - Give her the option. State that she can choose to either... - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 2, 13:38
  - honestly, I think she is entitled to want what she asked for. - groiny Feb 2, 13:05
  - i would be accomodating just a little longer, but be clear that you are going above and beyond your agreement. next thing she requests say "i think - Andie Feb 2, 13:05 1
