Can a landlord just rent out a place and then lie flat, carefree as the rent rolls in?
No, no, no. A good landlord also has to maintain the building’s basic infrastructure, inspect the shared facilities regularly, respond promptly to tenants’ questions and complaints, and sometimes mediate disputes between neighbors.
These ordinary tasks become a little terrifying at Anning Apartments.
“Why am I, the landlord, supposed to babysit my neighbor’s kid? Fine, I’ll do it, but is that really the kid’s memorial portrait!?”
“And can you imagine what it’s like to be changing a lightbulb on a ladder in a dark hallway, while a boy clutching his own head watches you? He really is holding his head!”
“Huh? The neighbor upstairs has a leak? You mean the upstairs water pipe is leaking, right? No... no? The neighbor upstairs is really leaking!?”
