Girlboss Landlords

Girlboss landlords are the best of the worst; they are the lesser of two evils, the maternal figure you need, the home away from home. However, they spark an ethical conundrum within your soul. They make you think that commodifying the human right of shelter perhaps isn’t so bad after all. Girlboss landlords usually own a humble one or two properties, or they are property managers for smaller, more niche real estate companies like Darling Realty or Metro. They always have cool mom names like Jennifer or Christine, and are also usually Virgos.

Girlboss landlords reply to your emails in minutes. Your flat needs a repair done? Thanks to your Girlboss landlord, there will be a tradie over the next morning. Black mold or leaking pipes? Your Girlboss landlord will go to the ends of the earth to make sure you live in comfort and serenity. Lodged your bond refund form? Find your entire bond in your account within three business days. The Girlboss landlord is the type to leave chocolates behind after a flat inspection, and she will most happily be your flatting reference for all of eternity. But, like all girlbosses, she must be treasured and not taken for granted. Ethical conundrums aside, a Girlboss landlord is a deeply appreciated but rare species in the ecological system that is North Dunedin. But she’s still a landlord.
