Great Landlord!
Boy oh boy, do we have super landlord. From the recent storms in Northeast Ohio, there was a crab-apple tree in our backyard that was damn near torn to shreds from all of the severe weather. I cut down the torn up apple tree and I also had to replace the guts of both toilets because the toilets were constantly filling and the toilets would sometimes overfill causing water to drip on the floor. Anyways, my wife called the homeowner about needing to have the tree stump removed for the safety of the children, and when she told him about what happened to the tree and about the toilets, the homeowner was very grateful that I had done that for him and he took $200 off our rent for this month. Oh yeah, someone will be out this week to grind the stump.
I wasn’t expecting our landlord to take money off our rent. I was shocked when my wife told me about him knocking $200 off our rent…….it cost me barely anything to do it. Although, it would have cost him a lot more to hire a tree service to cut the tree down and have a plumber replace the toilet guts. Besides, I used to have my own home before so I have a chainsaw and a chipper/shedder and I've replaced plenty of toilet guts……..so…….I figured why not do it. I love doing handyman stuff anyways.
There is also some additional good that came from it. The duplex next to us is own by an older woman who lives on the one side and rents the other side and when she heard about what I'm capable of, she asked if she could use me for minor repairs and maintenance and she would pay me. Of course I told her that I have no problems fixing things like a leaky faucet, running toilet, replacing a garbage disposal and things like that, but if it's something major, she should seek the expertise of a professional.
