Sometimes I think being a landlord would be a nice way to earn passive income.
But then I read stories like these about just what it means to be a landlord in this day and age, and I’m not so sure.
1. Collecting rent isn’t easy
And sometimes, your tenants will try to get even.

5. Apparently being a landlord is not all it’s cracked up to be
Good old fashioned bartering just isn’t appreciated like it used to be.

9. But what do you do when it’s just not working out?

11. Honestly, some guys have all the luck
I mean, at that point do you start to worry that your rent is too high?
Can you at least list the place as “haunted” now?

And always have an alibi, I guess.

The thing is, people are just generally weird. And the more people you have to interact with, well… the more weird experiences you’ll have.
