Fairfield is almost all rental houses…higher probability of these types of problems….we have one rental house in my area…911 is called about once a month….yard looks horrible…outside A/C unit grown over with vines, little trees springing up from the gutters, loud music after midnight…some minor blood letting from time to time…no evidence of a father…..could the local social monitor go out and talk to the LLC that owns the property and ask them to tidy up the place…maybe throw in a Starbucks gift card.
Rental properties are not at higher probability of “these types of problems”. I do think that landlords are leeches on the economy and that they just try to get money out of houses with maintaining them as little as possible. Which is why I think we should have more community land trusts to keep the rent money in the local area and have better maintained properties.
Based.
Vics – My experience is similar to yours. I’m sure most landlords and renters are upstanding people, but we all cherish the things we own more than something we are only using. I hope the police can identify the shooter or shooters and deal with them appropriately.
Right On Stranger than Fiction.
I had 4 rental houses from 1985 to 2002…my biggest problem was keeping the bedroom door on the frame because the girlfriend was locking out a drunk boyfriend.
However, I was a good land lord and kept up the property…the big LLC’s that bought so many houses during the great recession just don’t keep property tidy.
