I do not want to take people to court. Karma will get them just as quickly. Really.

Peter P,
With karma, you may have to wait several lifetimes, and payback will come in totally unrecognized forms…trust me, small claims court is much more satisfying.
a half-brick through their car window at night is also satisfying, and instant karma. especially since the cost of repair is less than their insurance deductible.
then, a month later, after they've had it repaired, you can do it again :)

DS,
I'm not a believer in creative destruction, at least on a personal level.

Folks, over the last few months we've had the "Jealous Bitter Renters" Thread (written from the P.O.V. of a rabid housing bull) and often had discussions about renting mostly in terms of how it relates to the RE market and bubble. We've had debates about renting as an alternative to buying at inflated prices, using it to as a metric to determine "fair market" housing value, Price:Rent ratios, why renters are so stupid, jealous and bitter compared to perma-bulls, etc., but so far --nothing about the finer points of the experience of renting itself.
So, this is your opportunity to share your renting insights and experiences with your fellow Patrick.net bloggers! About half of us here are homeowners, but you probably have rented at some point, and in any case should have an opinion. Tell us:
Discuss, enjoy...
