@lion absentee landlords are 100% the worst variety of an entire class of shit. My landlord will just randomly show up sometimes unannounced to do gardening. Other times he'll leave stuff partially done, like my front steps with one step missing, and then just disappear for a week. I hate it.
@vikxin yeah i hate that kind of half arsed shit. if they were TOTALLY absent it'd be like okay fuck it whatever I'll take things into my own hands. but they are still involved and everything still has to go through them, it just takes fucking ages to get them to do something that would only take 5 minutes to actually resolve. its so frustrating
