| Here in the US a 12 month lease is the norm, a month to month lease is usually the landlord wants fast money or the place is nasty and the tenant wants temporary roof or is a bad financial risk for a landlord. I spent 14 years as a building manager. I was the janitor, the maintence person, the evil rent collector person and the friend all wrapped up in one person. I had a number of tenants like yours. I can tell you that when they figure out you won't take it they leave you alone. The drop of water on the tiles, you didn't say why you had to stand at your front door. Wouldn't looking for drops on her tile be better done at the point where she sees them? Does she live under you and she thought it was coming from the ceiling? Why would you watch it if there wasn't evidence of water on her ceiling? You gave her attention. Bread, tell her it will be gone by morning, no need for you clean it up, if the birds don't eat it some critter will. If you clean it up, you gave her attention. Parking, tell her you are the janitor and can't watch everyone, not your job. At our building we had two assigned side by side parking spaces. One time I was busy thinking about something else and parked in the space my husband usually used, right next to where I usually parked, assigned spaces for our apartment, then I hauled the groceries in. Before I had the groceries put away the landlord was calling me asking me what I did with parking, tenants had called to complain. I said I don't know, he said you better check because they called the police. LOL If she complains about something like water drops on her tile tell the maintence man. You are the janitor, not your job. And just know, some tenants complain about everything under the sun, including the sun coming in the windows. LOL You check complaints because many are valid but you learn to just ignore the stupid complaints. Ahhh, I have 14 years of stories. |
