Rules of Real Estate

Never take every crumb off the table

You're starting a relationship between yourself and the Landlord that will, on average, last between three and five years (sometimes much longer), so it’s not wise to start it off as an adversarial association.

If you win every battle and get every thing you want (as opposed to only items that you need), Mr. Landlord may not feel as happy about the relationship  as you do and somewhere down the road, it will be his turn to hose you.

There are tons of reasons Landlords and Tenants need to speak during the term of a lease (Estoppel Certificates, assignments, tax and insurance reasons, etc.) we’re not saying make him your best friend, but do try to get along.
