I have a bunch of them but here goes one.

I rented a condo to a 50-something guy that was moving to Oakland (Rockridge) for work from the east coast. He lived in the unit for 5yrs.

I get a call from him one Saturday morning saying the kitchen sink is backed up and the disposal isn’t working.

At the time I was managing the unit. I show up to find the garbage disposal completely full to the top with orange peels and watermelon husks.

I look at the guy to see if I could find a trace of common sense in his eyes. I replace the disposal and inform him that this is not a commercial grade disposal and items like that must go in the trash.

That was one small example why I’m no longer a landlord.

I have many stories but interested to hearing yours as well.
