Fair. That said, it's the nature of the universe that physical objects wear out and break. It's also the nature of even well-meaning, competent human beings that they occasionally screw up. Most tenants are completely understanding. A small minority give zero grace.

I still don’t agree with the OP but I do have respect for people who engage calmly with random twitter anons who make fun of them, so there’s that.

I think the only people who should be allowed to rent property are REITs with over $100mm in assets. Rents won’t go down, and service won’t improve, but at least they won’t constantly kvetch about how oppressed they are on Twitter.
