I worked in a grocery store, a bar, a coffee shop, a restaurant and a big retail store, so yeah — I've "maintained" a property before.

Also, I have called maintenance many times in my life, ive literally never met a landlord. In fact the only time I ever interacted with a landlord was when I was hospitalized and lost my job, and was late paying my November rent because I was unconscious and my landlord text me that I had ruined his family's Christmas 👍

In what position? Did you fix the refrigerator when it broke down? Or did you call a repair company? Did you choose the repair company, or call a pre-approved company? How many quotes did you get before hiring the repair men? Was it prepay, or post pay billing or what? Did you handle licensing and permits and annual inspections? Did you fix the plumbing when it broke? Did you manage the building leases and speak with the property owners? Did you create a budget for repairing? What kind of depreciation schedule did you use? What did you do when the pipes froze?

Does a landlord?

How many quotes did you get

Depends on the position. In one role I project managed the expansion to a new location - we got a lot of quotes on a lot of items, in another I had a soft-procurement role to get various supplies and we'd regularly review suppliers, in another still i worked in tandem with a 11 separate buying teams with separate buyers, merchandisers and supply chain managers.

Then you ask me a bunch of questions about terms. There were sometimes different contract terms, but mostly net30 invoices or similar that sometimes we honored and sometimes we pushed due to cash flow considerations.

Did you fix the plumbing? Manage leases?

Does a land lord?

Did you speak with property owners

i have spoken with quite a few people in my time

Did you create a budget?

Yeah, yeah, I created a budget on behalf of my landlord. He was very keen to share his personal finances with me, something that often happens in landlord/tenant relationships and is very normal and good

What kind of depreciation schedule did you use?

Doesn't everyone use P527? What else do you need, or do you provide a classic car to every tenant?

What did you do when the pipes froze?

Shaka when the falls well. Temba, his arms wide.
