So is it a successful rent collection post or a Covid symptoms post? --24.152.xxx.xx

Covid symptoms I had were dry cough. Heart palpitations. Tired feeling after minor exertion and one night burning toes which were a cranberry color. Then I had a couple of hot flashes/fevers that lasted minutes and it was over. So the palpitations and all that were myocarditis I suspect. That's what they call "long covid" when people just have no energy I read this week. Also read that the OTC meds can fix that. --108.24.xx.xx

This is an issue we all may have to deal with. I would like to know how other LL's here would deal with this Covid situation. --71.207.xxx.x

Roy, I’d have the plumbing done as soon as I bought the needed parts and I’m one of those unmasked unvaxxed unsanitized heathens that Bi den’s losing patience with, what are all you immunized pharma-healthy folks still scared about? So, again, is this a rent collection post or a Covid symptoms post, --24.152.xxx.xx

I also have an air driven suit with clear bubble head that allows for a better view. But I've had tenant step on my air hose and cut off my supply. Then I'd have to use my Spare-Air breather that limits my air time to 30 to 50 breaths. Meaning I'm running out of the place and using a knife to cut the suit off me. It takes too long to unzipper myself. With help I can get out of a bubble suit in 20 seconds, otherwise over a minute. --47.155.xx.xxx

Oh my God. Some of you are just ridiculous. --24.152.xxx.xx

Most of the "I will take care of it myself" does not end well. If they paid, it tells me they had it all along. --73.230.xxx.xx

Now the fourth lockdown is here where more likely in a week it is going to lifted as the number of cases is starting to go down. Omnicron is the main number of cases where now the hospitals will start to be able to start other procedures. Have had the third vaccine dose where first two Oxford Astra Zeneca then third Phizer as Oxford Astra Zeneca is no longer available. Last time at the doctors office as most of people are vaccinated fewer people are going into ICU along with fewer require a ventilator. Now the mandates are starting to have effects where some places gave people two choices which are get vaccinated or move on. Us truck drivers are no longer allowed in if not vaccinated along Canadian truck drivers will be allowed back where will have isolate after delivering loads. The Us is requiring all truck drivers to be vaccinated as well this month. So in the end it depends if vaccinated what the outcome if get Covid 19 as here the vaccines are working where some people recover in a short period of time. On the tv news last night they showed a person in the hospital who had been on life support who was foolish not to get vaccinated now regrets where will get vaccinated. Most of them it is like being to hell and back if they survive where some did not. With the mandates the stores will start to have shortages as a lot of groceries are imported from the Us along a lot of other things are imported as well. Now some provinces are really starting to get tough on the unvaccinated where very tough measures are being mandated where you will not even be able to go into WM. Now the percentage of the unvaccinated continues to drop everyday where hopefully this year things will start to get back to normal. It is around 80 per cent completely vaccinated with two doses then the percentage of third dose continues to go up. In Europe some countries are making vaccination mandatory. Italy can not go on public transit along will all people who work must get vaccinated. Austria is moving that direction where Germany is next. --99.236.xxx.xxx

Now, if NE was local, I would call him !!! --71.207.xxx.x

Doctors see patients with a $0.10 mask and we have landlords here putting on NASA space suits. SMH. You all are quite the bunch, I tell ya. Roy, you need 2 things to fix a plumbing clog in a Covid rental unit. #1. A zip-it. #2. Stop watching the news. --24.152.xxx.xx

Roy, why would you call me to work for you? I’m not vaxxed brother. You don’t hire pariahs and I might give you the coof. I’m actually thinking of getting some shirts made up that day “I have to sneeze” and then randomly stand next to people when I go shopping. On another note, what happened to fixing problems ASAP as pro landlords? I’ve been on this site pushing 11 or 12 years now and a common practice that runs through the best of us and separates us from the slumlords is fixing issues ASAP. But now that doesn’t apply if the landlord is scared. Really? --24.152.xxx.xx

Robert Ontario, how sadly mistaken you are to think that upon entering year 3 of this that you will somehow get “back to normal” via the governments blessing. It’s on you my friend. Note to self: Never visit Canada. What is this thread about? Rent collection tactics, plumbing or Covid symptoms? --24.152.xxx.xx

Again, I hire everything out and if I can find a local plumber that thinks he is immune to Covid,..well,..I will call him and he will get the paying job. --71.207.xxx.x

Roy I’m certainly not immune to it, I’m just not hysterical over it. --24.152.xxx.xx

--71.207.xxx.x

Thank you for sharing your success story. --73.120.xx.xxx

Loose lips sink ships and in negotiations, the person with the most information wins. --24.152.xxx.xx

Especially when you can’t help but tell the plumber, who are you do get to come out, that you’ve called 10 guys before him and nobody will show up. Your price just quadrupled! --24.152.xxx.xx

BTW Robert J, I look forward to reading your other success stories in the future, when you find the creative solutions to collect from the other scammers. I wish you well in your collections. --73.120.xx.xxx

Many times tenants never pay any attention to their landlord. In my case they had to for self preservation. --47.155.xx.xxx

NE - What is wrong with having me as a plumbing customer or one that you would jack up your prices? Have I said something here that irritates you? What does my ability to pay for emergency plumbing services have to do with anything??? --71.207.xxx.x

What is the Spanish word for cockroach? Is it Cucaroche ? --71.207.xxx.x

My last tenant who stopped their power contacted the city and I was ordered to restore power for them. So I have a House Meter with two 15 amp breakers. Off of one breaker I ran a temporary patch cord to their double 20 amp service. So instead of the tenant having 40 amps, now under my power the have a total of 15 amps. This keeps their refrigerator going and some lights. They have a gas heater so that's not the problem. I saw them watching their Big Screen TV using their Dish Satellite on the roof. I never granted anyone the authority to go on my roof or attach a dish. So I removed it. I had given them a 5 day notice to perform or quit some years back. So with my power they aren't going to watch prime cable, only via the radio waves standard local stations. --47.155.xx.xxx

My regular plumber decided early on that he would not be repairing any toilets during covid. He said he was only working on new construction. But saw him yesterday and he is now wearing just a good mask and working on a local mansion. Heard one on radio call in show saying he has had covid and some mold related problems but masks up and goes on with work. Personally, I don't want them in here. Thankfully only one tenant issue and nice clean guy showed up while they were not home. Water processing techs can tell when there will be an outbreak by the amount of covid they find in the sewer effluent they test. I have stayed out of public bathrooms. --108.24.xx.xx

I'm not positive, studied different languages in school half a lifetime ago. --47.155.xx.xxx

One company that specializes in Plumber Sewer Equipment repairs had 5 men out sick. They couldn't figure out way. Contaminated sewer cables fresh out of the sewer and the workers removing the cables from the machines exposed them to the virus. A spring loaded cable pulled out of the snaking machines causes droplets of water to go air born and come in contact with exposed skin. Hands, Face, Eyes, Noise, etc. --47.155.xx.xxx

Roy, because I’m your side as a landlord not overpaying for dumb stuff. --24.152.xxx.xx

Robt J We all want to know, have you tried to cash the check yet? We all hope it doesn't bounce. --75.11.xx.xx

Oh no JAC, don’t put me on the N95 boat. I went to an apartment yesterday to thaw a frozen pipe. No precautions, no Convid discussion. Tenant stood right next to me at a few points in the project. Like a normal human being. When I walked through the kitchen, he had a sign on his table that he was painting that said “FEELINGS ARENT FACTS!” Haha. I had to laugh, he must be gearing up to go to a protest. I love living in the country. --24.152.xxx.xx

There was a protest in AZ. You should have gone to it --107.77.xxx.xx

JAC, I did not hear about the one in Arizona. Did you hear about the one in Chicago? Where the kids were protesting going back to school, because it wasn’t safe due to Covid? All while packed together in close quarters outside during the protest? Hmmm. That’s kind of funny. BRB, Need to refill my popcorn and slushie. --24.152.xxx.xx

I bet more of the kids were wearing masks than the mayonnaise group in AZ. --107.77.xxx.xx

JAC, you’re may be right, they probably were. They didn’t seem like the brightest crowd. --24.152.xxx.xx

I agree and I bet mayonnaise impedes thought process. --107.77.xxx.xx

No. I was referring to the anti-education super spreader event. Nothing like the government setting the wheels in motion for perpetual self throttling. --24.152.xxx.xx
