An engineer told me 20 years ago...
Never get in a pissing contest with a skunk

We had a neighbor with a poor relationship on our block when I was growing up. They moved
next door to us when I was 14. They were nasty people, by most accounts. Our street was a
very close group of people.

They were too bold and aggressive. They had two useless sons in their late 20's, who had
monster trucks parked out front. They would constantly be working on these ugly clumps of
metal, further adding to aesthetic displeasure. Each had a prominent bumper sticker. One
read, "Toxic Vomit," the other, "Seek and Destroy.". They had 7" lifts in both as well.

Adding to this overall effect, they possessed two Dolbermen Pinchers, that they left outside.
They built a pen, complete with dog house, to contain them. These F-ing dogs would bark
non-stop, making everyone crazy. It was not a good relationship.

Once I got older, friends and I would drive dangerously close to their sons, as they would be
sitting next to their beloved trucks, beer cans by their side.

Good thing I was young at the time. I'm not sure how I would handle people like that at this
point.

My parents lived in Alaska for 14 years
They found a house to rent that was cheap
After they moved in they found out why
The neighbor was a dog musher who had 40 dogs chained to posts
Never a second in every 24 hours was there no barking

Lol... that's awful.

I sold real estate in Florida (Ormond Beach & Jacksonville) for a few years. I had an instructor for the state licensing exam that was of the same type as the landlord you describe above... Really funny/likable fellow, but completely unethical.

He would actively pride himself on being a slumlord; his words. This guy was a graduate from the school of engineering at Georgia Tech, yet went on to become a very successful broker and eventual real estate school proprietor/instructor...

He was as shady a character as one could possibly imagine. The amount of folks he duped over the years must have been legendary. I know he was under investigation on numerous occasion, however this was no ordinary fella. He was an expert on Florida RE Law and was surrounded by a battery of family attorneys. This cat was a bonafide thief.

Disclosure: I was an honest RE agent. I was a slick one (you have to be) but I never compromised the happiness of a buyer for my own profit. I set the expectations, up front. No surprises.

I really
feel for people with bad neighbors, its a terrible situation to be in. I have pretty good neighbors. Most people here keep to themselves. Only time I had bad neighbors I lived in Evansville In. Lived in some apartments with nothing but young people. Our downstairs neighbors played music so loud our pictures literally vibrated off the wall. That's not an exaggeration.
