For those who don’t know me, I’m Aldo (WI). Before I go any further, Jeffery Taylor deserves the highest compliments in the land for the service he provides to rental property owners of every size, shape or color. I was a struggling landlord until I found Mr.Landlord.com. I learned a lot in a relatively short time and was soon passing along tips and suggestions to those in need. Thank you Mr. Taylor for allowing me to do that.

Me? I started rentals in 1967 with two duplexes and had every kind of problem you’ve read about in the forum. I chose later to retire from owning rentals and sold my duplexes, 3-family homes and two 12-family apartment buildings in 1997, moved south and paid cash for a pricey home alongside a golf course and a lake. After a few years I came back to WI due to the heat in FL.

God bless all of you.

Aldo, so glad you posted today. You have been quoted often on this forum and it is good to hear from you. I'm trying to remember the phrase you are famous for but my senior mind isn't remembering it. Maybe you could post it and any others that you can think of.

Thanks to Jeffrey for hosting this forum and also to all the other landlords like you who have shared their wisdom through the years. --99.165.xx.xxx

Landlord is in charge, the tenant is not.

I think that is one of the rules of Aldos. :-)

Glad to hear you're back in WI, Aldo. Your rule about the LL is in charge has grounded me many a time! --75.11.xx.xx

Hope your doing well! Your "Golden Rule" about the LL is in charge and the tenant is not is still golden. I do remember eons ago we met, I think, in northern Indiana? --75.107.xxx.xxx

I am also very fond of Aldo's rule, very appreciative of this forum and the conventions where we met about 15 years ago and again at a convention held in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. --76.190.xxx.xxx

Pat, if i may ask, what is the Green Socks rule?

Aldo, i remember you. You were a prolific and well respected poster as i became familiar with this board in the early 2000’s.

If anyone has the full list of Aldo’s rules may i ask that they please post them. --96.37.xxx.xxx

Tarheel, you can actually "google" it. It is a term for a "no fault" dissolution for a business partner situation but can equally be applied to a tenant you have a gut feeling about. You don't have to rent to them if they have green socks on.

It this PC environment we live in now, not sure it would fly. --216.126.xx.xxx

Hi Aldo, good to "see" you. Hope you can stick around for a bit and chime in on some of the discussions. I have used your #1 Rule many time to direct my course of action, and it has benefitted me greatly!

The man, the legend! Your simple mantra about the landlord being in charge has made a huge difference in my landlording - I think that I came on board well after your active time on the forum. But your wisdom lives on! --98.115.xxx.xxx

Hey Aldo. Love your rules! Thank you. Hope you've been doing great! --174.59.xxx.xxx

It's great to hear from you! I remember you as a valuable contributor back when.

Aldo's rules (at least 1 & 2, the way I understand it) are quoted and implemented often. They really do sum everything up well

1)The landlord is in charge

2) The tenant is not

Please correct us if we have misquoted you : )

Hiya Aldo!

Way back then the 1 or 2 questions a day would get 2-4 responses total.

Remember dial up internet? Buzz squeak squeal scratch boooop…

I recall rule number 3 as “See rule #1”
