Landlords are just people who own property? Regular average people. Now… we can deduce that since most people kinda suck, on average, most landlords will kinda suck on average. But also, there are very kind and understanding landlords too. That said, they are like real people in the sense that they respond to how they are treated.

Treat’em like an asshole and they will probably oblige you. Treat someone pleasantly and with respect, you’ll probably be doing yourself a favor.
