What You shouldn’t Write In Your Tenant’s Christmas Card

In a previous blog post I explored whether landlords should splash out on Christmas presents for their favourite tenants, just to show a little appreciation. At the very least, send a freaking card [to the schmucks paying your mortgage].

Continuing on with my run of festive blog posts, I’m going to address the agonising process of choosing the right words to put in your cards, as I’m sure it’s a common source of extreme anxiety for thousands of landlords around the world.

Write too little and you run the risk of being an ungrateful asshole. Write too much and you’re a pervert that’s only after one thing. It’s truly a minefield.

So to help relieve you from the fear of choosing the wrong words, I reached out to the Twitter community, and together we have put together a list of sentiments that are best avoided from your tenants’ Christmas cards, despite your best intentions!

Jingle Bells Christmas Card Message

Mortgage Christmas Card Message

Section 21 Christmas Card Message

Rent Due Christmas Card Message

Rent Increase Christmas Card Message

Sexy Christmas Card Message

Seasons greetings all! xo

Fantastic!

Happy Christmas to you and all those I have hopefully given sound advice to this year - and to those of you who I have lambasted for being too stupid, inept, lazy incompetent and moronic (see Ajay Ahuja thread) I hope you have a good one too even though my opinion remains unchanged as are your chances of getting your dosh back (can't believe I am saying that).

To all you nice DSS tenants - I hope you find something better and your lives improve in 2010.

To all you scumbag DSS tenants - I hope your New Year is worse than the last.

To all you fellow Landlords - may your yields rise along with your bank accounts. May you drink from the spring of Mr Moet for many years to come!

Finally to The Landlord - thanks for such a great site your comments never fail to make me smile. keep it up in 2010!

Cheers

One can't afford Christmas Cards in these tough times, unless one is a millionaire ;)
