Do you have, or have you ever had, a landlord, (or company), that owns/owned where you live?

WOW, I never expected to get so many thorough replies! I am still grossed out by Kendra's mention of the roach 'wallpaper' & used feminine products, that I can hardly get past it. But, the good stories, like falalena's are just as amazing to me. My landlord for my previous rental house was really good in some ways & not so great in others, but for the most part I was lucky! And I think he was lucky I was so clean & neat! I added a new toilet because I couldn't begin to use the one that was already there. I just had someone put a new Home Depot $79 toilet in! I did some other upgrades I planned to take with me when I left, but just ended up leaving, like new light fixtures & a garbage disposal, etc. He let me do whatever I wanted to the house or the yard! I think he was hoping for a new paint job inside & free landscaping because I like to garden. I had it looking lovely in no time & in one year away, the new tenant has let it go back to it's former run-down appearance just by not keeping it up, so sad because I liked the neighbors who enjoyed the cleaned up place. They are trying to sell to get away from there, they hate not having the house next to their's looking shoddy!

Thanks for all the great answers, I appreciate the time people took tell so much ! I am still shocked by some of the bad ones, like the hole in the ceiling allowing you to see into the neighbors downstairs bathroom! I'd have duct-taped over it or something! Ewwww!
