Dear Mrs. Spring,
This past week, I sung your praises for not finding me on Facebook. I so wish you might have heeded my psychic kudos. Though I am sure you have the best of intentions, it is in poor form to friend your landlord. I understand you are new to this whole renting thing, but this seems a bit obvious. Don't feel bad. You aren't the first. Or the fourth.
Please understand it is nothing personal. I do not want a personal relationship to cloud my judgement. I don't friend my husband's boss, the owners of the company I work for or others I have a strictly business relationship with. Perhaps when your lease is up we can discuss this. I do have three former tenants as Facebook friends, so it can happen.
Sincerely,
The Landlord

Friending your boss and/or your landlord is akin to friending your parents when you are a teenager. There are just some things better left private.
Luckily my teenager and her friends are not akin to that logic!

That's because you are the "cool" mom. I am not the "cool" landlord and they are not the "cool" tenants.
Besides, I never want to read a posting from my tenants that says, "Husband lost his job, I am stepping up my home-based escort service business and the pit bulls had babies last week."
Fiona! I would think you would be thrilled to read such a post! Instead of looking at it in the proverbial suburban conservative way, you should look at it as thus, "Too bad husband lost his job but the escort service coupled with the profits from selling those fighting dogs will rake in so much money, I could raise their rent!!" See? Glass half full! LOL
And Bliz: I'm really happy that your teenagers are good kids but I hope you realize they are anomalies??? LOL
