Steve Doesn’t Have Time
Landlord Steve received a maintenance complaint from a tenant that, since he’s a landlord, he is responsible for repairing. However, Steve not only gave his tenant instructions, but he also tried to get out of it by asking her to have her boyfriend step in. Clearly, Steve doesn’t want to spend the time fixing anything.
It’s wrong for landlords to ask their tenants to do a landlord’s job and it’s even worse to ask someone who doesn’t even live on the property unless you’re paying them. Steve’s tenant seemed to be okay with this which is not fair to her or the other tenants that Steve’s going to try to take advantage of.
