Why Landlords
Want their Tenants
to Have this Book!
Do you know how much it costs for:
If apartment dwellers were trained -- if they knew the simple things that they shouldn't do (like flush dental floss, overload electrical sockets, or take in furniture from the curb) -- they would save themselves and their landlord time, money, and possibly their lives.
That's why landlords and real estate pros are giving the new book, LIVE SMART! The Apartment Living Primer, by Steve "The Super" Nathan, to their tenants, clients, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
The book is a comprehensive, easy-to-read, smartly illustrated guide that teaches apartment dwellers how to live smart, safe and sane in their (or your) apartment.
The book is packed with easy, practical tips, written in a casual, common sense style by a legendary apartment building superintendent.
- a plumber to clean out a clogged waste line because a tenant flushed something bad?
- an exterminator to treat building halls and apartments for tenants who don't follow simple bedbug prevention procedures?
- a building superintendent to dig through every recycling can to avoid getting a ticket from the city sanitation department?
