Dodging the tenants punches

When I refer to dodging punches I am luckily talking metaphorically.  I know it happens that tenants can get violent.  Thankfully this is one thing I haven't had to deal with yet.  We did advise one landlord recently about what to do in this situation with violent tenants that he was trying to get rid of.

Soft spot for boxing

I must confess I do like a spot of boxing.  I've always marveled at the speed, strength and shear stamina that the top pugilists possess.  I have recently incorporated regular sessions on the punch bags into my daily gym work out. 

Landlords need some boxing skills

I do think that being a landlord some pugilistic skills are helpful.  We are constantly required to dodge tenants punches and keep calm so that you are still in a position to deliver a knockout blow!  Having survived the latest onslaught of one tenant not paying their full rent, another with a malfunctioning oven and a triffid like hedge (all now sorted).  My latest onslaught comes from a tenant determined to get the failing double glazing replaced.   Having slipped my tenant a couple of playful jabs I'm looking to manouvere them onto the ropes before hitting him with a series of knock out blows and delivering to him before Winter a perfect set of functioning double glazing to his shock and amazement.  KNOCK OUT!
