You know how just the other week I had the owner here thoroughly inspecting the place, accompanied by my usual estate agent for routine inspections, plus the estate agent in charge of all rental property management?

Well it hasn’t stopped them booking yet another routine inspection for next week.

It’s getting fucking ridiculous but their explanation would be, “We have to do it, it’s in our contract with the owner, and in the lease.”

You could perhaps not spend a day cleaning beforehand and fly by the seat of your adequately but not perfectly clean pants.
