Cold, draughty, doesn't meet Healthy Homes standards, and in need of extensive renovations. It sounds like the place is pretty tired.

I suspect his rental properties will be in better condition than Premier house actually, mostly because a lot of landlords prefer to have a better quality property, in good condition, as you tend to get a better standard of tenant.

Owning and renting the bottom of the market as a landlord means you're also dealing with the bottom of the market with your tenants, from my understanding.

It probably depends on the specific properties. But you're right, there is definitely a group of landlords that have higher quality properties, but I also know landlords that just buy any old property, hand it over to a rental agency, and do nothing but the minimum legal requirements.

It could go either way really.
