Yeah, as a young'un I was exposed to a lot of landlords and heard all the stories. I wouldn't wish the (landlord) lifestyle on my worst enemy.
Of course, the bad apples really do spoil it for the rest of us. Back in my renting days, I actually had a landlord try to enforce a "no visitors" policy. Because he wanted to seem "tough" he pretty much ran this zero-tolerance - I asked him if my parents were allowed to visit from out of town, or would I have to meet up with them somewhere else just to talk. He never gave me an answer, really, just repeated his policy.
Needless to say we violated that rule on a regular basis but still - just how bad were some of his previous tenants???
