Quick Couch poll (I promise I will stop spamming about my rental issues very very soon): I found a lovely (okay, lovelier than the previous selection) place with a ton of light and good stuff.

Except -- big except -- it's a place that's being rented out by an owner-person (as opposed to a management company).

I have an absolute dread (without any experience actually) of dealing with actual people as landlords as opposed to impersonal office managers who are employees for a rental management company and who really couldn't care less about the tenants and would just do (or not do) what needs to be done and call it a day?

She seems incredibly nice and funny and reasonable and kind and so on. And, she doesn't live there. And, yet I dread....I dunno what.

I'm trying to figure out how much of this is entirely my (no-doubt) craziness vs. there really is something to be said for dealing with impersonal office people vs. owner-persons?
