I have the best landlord in the world. Pure accident that I came here, but, I have gotten such a good deal from him wrt rent, he put ads in a local magazine for all of us in the building, he takes the time to come in and chat, offers encouragement, fixes the little things that go wrong that my handyman skills can't fix, etc etc.
I help him with his computer occasionally, take in his oversized mail, let him hold meetings here, etc etc. What he also gets are people coming in his building that normally would not, and he knows that these folks are potential customers once they leave the TVO. It is telling that in these rough times only one office in this building is empty....and I want it....can't get it, but....maybe...
