I’m so excited to be sharing a VERY requested video. As many of you know, I’ve been renovating my rental apartment for the past 2 years. Upon moving in, my landlord gave me permission to paint and renovate as I so pleased. He has yet to see how I transformed the space and in today’s video I’m giving him a tour! This was his first time being upstairs in years (he is older and has a hard time going up stairs). I told him about my video idea and he was so excited!! With my assistance and the help of a desk chair, he was able to tour the entire space!

I hope you do a makeover for him. I saw that others commented on making it accessible for him and I would second that. Making a space so a person can stay in it as they age is a great concept.

@lonefox Год назад

I'm an elderly landlord, and most of my tenants are 20-50 years younger than me. I love the relationship we see here. If you've lived in apartment complexes managed by faceless corporations most of your adult life, try a small-time landlord and see what a difference a direct relationship can make. It's a partnership where both can benefit. I usually have to spend the first year of a tenancy convincing my poor wounded tenants that I don't have horns and fangs...

@tinachristine4573 Год назад

We experienced that for 2 years and our landlord was so lovely that he gave us bottles of wine at Christmas. He was a good man.

@lincolnlove1855 Год назад

I’m a landlord of 20 houses with 30 more in the works. Like you, I also get a lot of feedback about how frustrating it is to rent from big companies. Many of my renters are relieved to experience the difference made by an actual landlord tenant relationship. I have several tenants that have stayed with me for years and some repeat renters. I’ve even got lots of letters of recommendation from them.

@skybright9447 Год назад

Can i just say that as someone who works with the 'elderly', this video is heartwarming. Many people don't realise that there are so many elderly people who are lonely. I'm not suggesting that your landlord is, but it is nice for someone 'younger' engaging so positively with someone older. You not only renovated a beautiful property but you also helped your landlord financially. Many people think that those who own homes are well off, although this may be the case sometimes, many elderly people who own homes, have the rent as their main or only income. You did good!

@jmk1962 Год назад

The people you work the people who are hired on to do tasks, shopkeepers and friends all give the human touch to your videos. This is what makes your vidoes extra interesting and connect stronger with your audience. Your a family. So keep looking for those opportunites. If your workers are playing music and having fun as they do their work, go over and talk to them. What are their names? What are their stories?

Love Roger! He reaction is honest and am sure you made his day. I had an elderly woman as a landlord years ago and repainted and made some upgrades to the apartment. She was thrilled when I brought her through. We ended up becoming great friends and I would help her out when she needed anything. It was such an honor to get to know her and if I was down she would give me wonderful advice and always made me feel better. I loved to hang out w/ her and listen to her stories. She passed and I had to move on as her kids sold the house. I guess my point is if you have an elder in your life, spend some time with them. I promise, you will make their day and they will give you nuggets of wisdom you won't get anywhere else. Cheers.

@willybeama1 Год назад

@@1986Dams I don’t think that is accurate. Wealth leaches are the corporations buying up homes and raising prices. Landlords do raise rents but typically only to remain viable in an economy that consistently plays money games with home values and taxation. It is quite complicated. At least a small landlord increases their wealth in minuscule increments while helping temporary tenants. The corporation landlords are closer to what you are getting at. Someone help me out if I missed a key issue because this is a quite complicated topic.

What an awesome guy and such a nice and sweet landlord. The fact that he knew you were making renovations and for all he knew you could be making horrible changes, but didn’t care as long as you were happy with the space is so wonderful! I agree that it would be awesome if you could do a quick and easy renovation for him in one of his rooms.

@LaLadybug2011 Год назад

Seeing the genuine joy and appreciation of your landlord, choked me up. He was so kind and generous with the comments in every room. Have you ever thought about offering to do a room for him in his space? Not for money....to repay kindness and gratitude. And of course, you would film it for your channel. The world needs more kindness!

@@beverlycharles6534 Yeah, fully checked out by a realtor. ALWAYS paid on time or even 1-3 days EARLY! Dogs and fights. They tore up the flooring THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE, tore up all door jambs and trim, chewed up window sills, tore up all but 3 doors, holes in too many walls I don't even know, ruined the paint by throwing greazy dog balls against them and left the entire house covered in schmutz that looked like vomit overspray about 2.5 feet up the walls and doors! I'm disabled and this was my only income, has taken me since January and not done yet, but when I finish this one, I have ANOTHER JUST LIKE IT!!! So no income since January and no FEMA money to cover all the water heaters lost in the Texas freeze (which I had paid to have winterized all the houses) It's just good to know that there are Drews out there somewhere being kind to landlords!!

@catgray1 Год назад

Your video reminds me of when my husband and I first got married (in 1989) and rented the big downstairs apartment from my great grandfather. After we were done decorating, we had him come downstairs to see it. He was 89 years old at the time. When he stood on the carpet in the front parlor he said, "wow, it's so thick. I think I'm going to tip over." My entire life, growing up, we were never allowed to use that front parlor, so it felt good being able to make it into a usable space. My great grandfather had purchased that house in 1925. It had all of the original clear cypress wood trim, and every few years he would pay someone to come in and strip off the clear coat and recoat it, so it always looked brand new. The front parlor had beautiful French doors going into it. I really miss that house. I was the 4th generation to live in that house. You did a beautiful job redecorating your apartment! Glad your landlord like it. ❤️😊
