Ts,

Dealing with the Landlord's agent is pretty common. Even if you carry out your due diligence to ensure that the landlord is who he say he is or your landlord may project a courteous demeanor (as in easy to deal with), at the end of the day, it all boils down to what you have in the agreement.

Having a nice landlord mitigates half of your problem but if you don't read or understand it, you will get into trouble sooner or later.

Tenancy is a fairly simple document but almost always the tenant is victimized by the landlord.

I have summarized and identified some of the issues in a guide, i hope you will find it useful in ur future tenancy.

i consider this as a hobby. sharing knowledge and solving problems are fun.

The beauty of a forum, you have an infinite amount of people exchanging knowledge with other people so that one can learn from others new ideas, problems and perspectives. The answers given are quick references that enable you to solve a problem, however it doesn’t necessarily mean the answer is complete, accurate, timely or even correct. You should always cross-check with a reliable source as well before committing to the answer/solution.

Now what I am trying to point out is, I float an idea, solution or perspective without any obligation or liability to anyone. “Compensation” (to me at least) may imply a deeper meaning or even an obligation, in which case I am not prepared to undertake especially in the event the answer turns out to be wrong.

As a matter of principle, I politely decline your treat to a good lunch and dinner.

That being said, I hope yourself or anyone in forum will continuously feed me with your problems and I will attempt to churn out the best answer/solution that I am aware of or able to produce.
