I have a situation I would like some opinions on:

Yesterday the regulator for our water broke in the apartment building I own (along with my husband and my mother). We were unable to get a plumber in when it broke yesterday bc of a storm we were having (tornadoes, hail, etc). 7am this morning (sunday) our plumber came and fixed the water. he could not get the right kind of regulator so he ordered one and will have it on Wed. We do have water to the building and everything is fine. It is a little higher pressure but at least it all works.

Now, everytime we have a problem I have a tenant who then has 10 million problems (which we never find to exist. but when we do find a real problem they claim it isn’t a problem and try to find reasons why it shouldn’t be fixed).

Tonight I showered at 8:30. The tenants (the ones that complain) bathroom is next to mine we r also on the same hot water. I heard them running hot water and I noticed my pressure was a little weaker so I assumed they were just showering. My water was fine in all aspects nothing out of the ordinary.

At 9:30 my mother went into my bathroom (she was visiting) and said about all the water the tenants next door (the ones who complain) were running. 15 mins later the man was beating on my door pissed bc he says he showered in cold water. I told him I didn’t understand why bc the water has been fixed all day and there wasn’t a problem. He got a little ignorant and started about how SOMEONE else in the building would have to be on the same water heater as his unit. I told him I was and my water was fine. It was even hot when my mother washed her hands at 9:30 when she was in the bathroom.

When the tenant left I checked my water it was not hot but it was warm. It is continually warming up. It seems like the tank was drained or something. These people irritate me. They r quiet and pay the last day of every month (their rent is due the first) so in that aspect I hate to get rid of them. But at the same time they drive me crazy!!!!!

Today, my cat was outside and they dumped beer on it. They are just ignorant and I am ready to get rid of them I can’t take anymore. He also informed me that my mother (who lives in a unit above me) had her dog tied out back and it was jumping all over the one car and was scraping it. He didn’t know my mother was here. We went to check her dog and he was laying in the back yard no where near the cars he couldn’t even reach the cars! Am I over reacting? (I could add more stories about these annoying people but this is long enough)

is it too much to ask for tenants who pay, clean, and don’t lie?! (I want to be sure that I am not just treating them unfair bc I do not like them. They were here when we bought the building in Oct. 08′. I didn’t like them from the first time I meant them)
It isn’t the complaining that bothers me. I understand it. I use to rent and I was a pain in the a*s I know it. But these ppl complain about nothing. They say theres a leak so we call a plumber pay emergency fees travel fees and the hourly rate to check and there is no leak!
Then we found a leak and they argued with us giving us millions of reasons why we shouldn’t fix it.

There was an incident w/ the floor. The one tenant had a loose shower wall never told us and has been leaking water on to the floor. We replaced the floors so the other tenants wanted their bathroom floor (all of it replaced bc they said it was rotting) we had a contractor check it was fine. However, we wanted to lay hardwood (like all the other apts) and they had a fit.
I do have a lease w/ them. There is a clause in there about abusing children and animals. I am unsure atm how it is specifically stated but basically they r to let both alone.

I have warned them and showed them the clause it violated. However, I can not prove they did it. My cat got out. I heard it fighting w/ another cat. When I opened the door to get him He came running from the area of the tenants front door (we share a porch) when I picked him up he was wet and smelled of stale beer. WHen I went back out I saw where the beer can was laying under their window. I have found these cans on their side of the building I assumed it was the teenage kids (they r always throwing stuff at their door and windows bc they r complete d*cks to everyone)
