No reason to give him one, you just need to know if he's good for the rent.

You should have asked him how much a new air conditioner or heat pump cost or if he had a clue how much a plumber charges because some asshat renter likes to flush diapers down the septic/sewer.

I say this guy's stupidity/ignorance is proof positive why we need politicians like Nancy Pelosi - meaning - people like him are too stupid to live with government over watch.

Because the owner of the house is the one with the mortgage. I don't understand why the renter even had this thought.

Because a lot of people got very low interest rates (<3.0%), many don't even get to claim their interest deductions and just use the standard deduction. Which happens to be the same standard deduction renters get to take.

Because you put up the capital and credit to buy the house. Tell that dumbass to kick rocks.

Some people have a real need to feel like they're being victimized all the time. It's part of their retarded identity.
