Defends Landlords Name
To
the Editors:
I
would sincerely like to defend the reputation of my present landlord.
Within the past week or so, I have seen a few posters around campus
that slander Mr. Reynolds, a private landlord here in Oberlin. It
was not only illegal to put up posters of this type but also in
my opinion a despicable way to deal with obviously personal problems.
Most likely the individual who put up the posters had broken a contract
rule and was bitter about the fee or punishment that resulted.
I have lived on the 2nd floor of the 109 North Main Street house
for the whole year, and Ive already signed up to live in the
same place next year. Owing to my own past experiences, I would
say that Im a veteran when it comes to dealing with sketchy
landlords and houses, and Mr. Reynolds is by far the best landlord
Ive had. His houses are the most clean and best maintained
off-campus houses Ive ever come across. Furthermore, he has
always given a days notice before entering our house, and
he fixes any maintenance problems within two days at most. He and
his wife have always been kind and honest when dealing with me and
my housemates. For these reasons, I was especially surprised by
the poster I saw and very strongly motivated to correct any unfair
impressions that people now might have.
