I've rented from a present landlord 2 times. Once was terrible and they charged me for a cleanup fee for my dead roommates shit and a bedbug ridden sheet(husband owned a screen printing shop on the first floor).

Second time was a dude renting out his late mothers house for under market, took a wad of cash I'd collect from many people, and showed me his sick hovercraft he pulled out of the woods and restored.

Neither were very fast with repairs but at least the latter looked 100% the other way when the place reeked of weed.
