What's the problem?

[ngadef]

Why is it that so many lettings go bad?

Is it that landlords are money grabbers with no interest in housing?
Or that tenants are unreliable & take the mickey?

There seem to be so many sad stories & problem

Maybe we just hear about the disasters

I think its mainly that people only come to Forums like this when they have problems :D I've been a tenant for 14 years (various private LL's) but have to admit I never ever thought of doing a search for a forum like this until i had a problem (which is now :) only found this place today!)

I think you maybe right

Although I manage over 600 properties
I suppose I am only regularly contacted by 10%

Because they only contact me when they have a problem
But it is usually the same 10% that get the problems ;)
