Well, maybe we should all start a thread on this Forum where we can rate our own landlords, good, nad, fair, indifferent, etc.
Apparently there is something along this line in the works. But why wait?
Does anybody else have any thoughts about this?
Maybe we could start a thread called: Reference Landlord or Rate Your Landlord or something.
This way, we could even recommend this site to others who are looking for places and have the name of owner/landlord and they won't get burned.
Open to the floor for suggestions....
