My dad was somewhat of a slumlord and I was basically the superintendent. It was only ever young guys or young couples that rented the place. Even the ones who were decent tenants just wouldn't clean fuck all so the place was basically trashed by the time they left. It's just because it was most people's first place without their mother cleaning up after them so they just didn't realize that for a place to be clean you have to keep it that way. Like, toilets and bathtubs don't just magically clean themselves, your mom was doing that. You also can't dump fucking grease down the drain and destroy the plumbing. Also, EVERY SINGLE ONE ended up either getting a cat or a dog that destroyed something every time after being told no pets. Renters think they own your shit, but they also don't care about it. The only thing they'd ever do is poorly paint rooms STUPID colors like lime green, when you're supposed to just leave things the way you found them. Landlords also basically have no rights. Like they can just not pay rent and have a place to live unless you spend thousands on a lawyer to get them the fuck out. My dad was also particularly stupid about trusting people and not having them sign a lease. All I took from the whole thing was that if I ever had a tenant I'd end up assaulting them.
I remember my one ex getting all pissy on the phone with her landlord because she owed him like 2 months rent and when she got off the phone she was basically like "Can you believe that fucking prick?" and I was like "Yeah. You owe him a bunch of money. YOU'RE fucking HIM over. I'd be here taking collateral."

I once worked with a guy who had a side gig convincing bad tenants to leave with a baseball bat.

I got the one couple to leave by telling the guy "I'll give you your last month's rent back if you leave ASAP, but if you don't I'm gonna start a bunch of really loud renovations. Like shake the whole building loud and you're gonna hate your fucking life." I threw another one down the stairs. Kicked one's door in and threw him around a bit. You can do that shit to junkies because they won't call the cops. I was like the Dirty Harry of superintendents.

That’s the stuff. The guy I knew was mostly dealing with Indians that were getting like 20 of the fuckers in there.

Don't renters at least have to pay a bond? I paid four weeks' worth of rent upfront and I don't think I get it back until I leave. That must keep BUMS out, no? (inb4 it didn't work with me, wakka wakka)

I think the ol man was just having them pay first and last month's rent and then they could move in right away.
Despite some of the stories I've told on here making him sound crass, my dad is a retardedly nice guy. One time I had to get the heater going for a new tenant and my dad was giving him the rundown and capped it all off with "You're family now." I just death stared at the guy like "You're not family. You're scum." That was the guy I ended up making the deal with to leave. He was Lebanese and my dad kept insinuating that the guy was Italian to his face, which was hilarious. Like he was 100% confident that this brown paki looking dude was Italian.

Yeah, two months up front is the standard around here.

I’d have to assume people booking super cheap half houses in the ghetto are willing to overlook, and put up with, a lot more things than an actual tenant would. Being a legit landlord would require work and money, two things Rick isn’t able to provide.

First month, last month, and security deposit is the norm in my area. The SD being the same amount as rent and held in an escrow account.
