Alright! Didn’t think you would take it in a positive way but I guess I was wrong. Gladly.

According to your post you have moved at least 6 times in the past 12 years and you had problems with the landlord every time.

Assuming that the houses and the landlord were not the same or somewhat related the only common denominator is you.

Having said that, I see a few possibilities:

1) You are somehow at fault for the problems you reported. Rats could come because of dirt. Mold can also develop if you have a place that is not cleaned or cared as it should.

2) You could be a bad judge of character. Somehow you managed to fail to perceive clues that could tell you that maybe the landlord or the property wouldn’t be great.

3) You are super unlucky

I’m not saying it is your fault. Only that it could be.

If it is, that’s a good thing because you can fix that.

If it’s not your fault than you should buy a rabbit’s foot.

Another common denominator could be also the price point of properties they pay to rent. Some landlords just dont budget/save well regarding repairs. Properties with lower rent prices can make that worse. So when your like hey fix that and this. They may seem begruding about it. Although out of 6 landlords all them doing that seems unlikely. Unless some of these problems where overly petty.

However, I would not consider a rodent problem petty. (probably means somthing is not sealed well) Although getting a cat without talking to the landlord sure is gonna make them more willing to help (sarcasm). Pets can cause serious damage, and can even leave odors after carpet has been replaced. Making the property harder to rent or more costly to repair.
