Renting here has been a bit different. My landlord, probably like yours, doesn't own any other property, just the house they live in, and the one I'm renting. They're not johnny on the spot with repairs and such, but I know them, so it's not a problem. It could be tricky with a landlord in financial trouble who has no experience. I'm a little worried about that.

Our owners are using a property management company, so it's not bad. We just go straight to him.

And to cap it off, she kept me from blowing the sale of our house over $6k. I had my fill of the buyers' nitpicky bullshite and was going to tell them to stick it up their arse but she reminded me why I wanted to get out and that we might not have another serious buyer for six months and the difference was a drop in the bucket.

Nice. I felt kind of the same way at some points, but I kept forcing myself to project my view forward. There were very few scenarios that I could construct that didn't make it smart to sell.
