no and I've been here 7 years, never late, handle most repairs myself..before me it was a steady stream of crackheads which I found out when the SWAT team surround it one Sun morn at 6am...
the bushes looked a little unruly but all that vegetation kept the road noise and dust off the house...
and the one tree was right by the bedrooms which face west and will be in full sun in the hottest part of the day now...stupid part was it had roots that covered half the yard so it wasn't going to come down on the house or anything...
very, very angry right now and considering putting my notice in...
It was a really shitty thing to do to a good tenant without notice this would happen. I can't even imagine doing that. (Actually, I think it violates the lease about not going onto the property without notice.)

I feel for you with the SWAT team. We had new tenants move into a place. About six months into them living there we get a hysterical phone call from the female tenant that the cops just broke into their house, jimmied out the security screen, kicked in the door, basically ruined the door frames. Scared the living SHIT out of the tenants inside. And now their house could not be secured because all doors/frames were broken.

Turns out the cops were going after someone who was on a probation violation and had used that address as his address a year or two prior (the old tenants did know this person, but that person was never a legal tenant there.) The cops would not pay for the damage and said they could not call and check with us ahead of time for fear we would tip the person they were looking for off. We raised a little hell about that with our contacts there (like, oh, maybe do some surveillance to see who lives there now?). Kinda made me want to check with parole/probation boards and make sure no one is using my address as a decoy.

We went on a tour of Melville's house a few months ago. The woman who gave the tour didn't like him all that much (she was a big fan of his wife, though).

But the interesting this is that - in that somewhat big house - he lived with his mother-in-law. His (and his wifes) bedroom had a door that led to MIL's room (as in, his mother-in-law's room shared a wall with his bedroom - and she had to enter and exit her room via his.

So. Um. That must have been nice.......

Honestly, even with living close by, I don't know SF well enough to do this I don't think
