While deployed, my wife remained at our home in Texas. The A/C broke in the middle of summer. They told her that the temperature wasn't hot enough to constitute a repair. When she showed them pictures of the thermostat reading over 100 degrees indoor they finally said that they would send a repairman but that I needed to be there because I was the primary name on the lease although she had power of attorney. I threatened to sue. A/C was eventually Jerry-rigged (the repair guy told her that he was paid to do the bare…

Shortly before close one night in mid-November, Kim Danner, manager of Gerard’s Pool Hall in RiNo, stepped outside the business to make a call. She didn’t see anyone when she looked around. But within a minute, Danner said, a man approached her as she sat on a ledge. “I could tell pretty quickly he was mentally ill, but that’s a super common occurrence, so I didn’t run away,” Danner told BusinessDen. “I just figured I wouldn’t interact with him.” The man, Danner said, crouched down in front of her — “his face was about an…

The Sims 4: City Living, one of the game’s many expansion packs, first introduced livable apartments in 2016. For longtime Sims players, this was a welcome addition to the most recent iteration of the long-running series. But since then, players have asked for far more freedom in both apartment gameplay (i.e., playing a Sims family that lives in an apartment) and building. The Sims 4: For Rent expansion looks to step up and provide players with some long-requested features that haven’t been available before. In a…

In economics, there are the concepts of a ‘buyer’s market’ and ‘seller’s market’ – that is, markets where, due to prevailing circumstances, the conditions are usually dictated by the buyer or seller. The rental real estate market traditionally falls into the category of a ‘seller’s market.’ And many sellers, or rather landlords, often greatly overuse this…A classic example is this story on X about an overly detailed rent application form that one netizen once found and put up for discussion. And, of course, there was no…

Elvira Rincon never loved the small apartment that sits between Sunset Boulevard and Dodger Stadium. Even 30 years ago, shortly after she arrived from a small town in Queretaro, Mexico, and moved in with her husband and five children, the one-bedroom unit built in the 1920s felt cramped.But over the decades she made it a home, planting a sprawling container garden of flowers, fruits and medicinal herbs to cure her family of stomach pains and colds. Her husband poured concrete to make a small patio in the courtyard, where…

In the last year, eviction filings across the county have returned to pre-pandemic levels of more than 3,000 per month, according to Kyle Nelson, a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA.For landlords, the end of the pandemic-era rules comes as a relief, said Daniel Yukelson, executive director of the Apartment Assn. of Greater Los Angeles.“Owners are just glad to have this burden off…

Tenants at 20 apartment complexes across Denver are now sharing their amenities with out-of-town guests, as building management is allowing residents to rent out their units as Airbnbs. Vacation rental company Airbnb has partnered with building owners in almost 40 cities “to make it easier for renters to find apartments that let them host part-time,” according to its website.

The complaints residents of Cedar Run Apartments in Denver have about their aging complex came to a head in January when many units lost heat during a cold snap. It was the latest in a list of grievances tenants had expressed both to management and to the city’s department of health — no heat, no hot water, cockroaches, leaks, black mold — with asbestos even discovered in one of the buildings after a fire in December. So, residents have taken the uncommon step in Colorado of organizing, albeit informally, to bring…

But landlords who own big-box space occupied by the troubled home-goods retailer are more confident about finding new tenants than they would have been in years past, according to property owners and retail analysts.

Maxx,…
