This is funny, until it isn't. I once rented a house where I had to take two 4-tonne truckloads of garbage and clean for a week before we could move in. I painted rooms and it was a really nice place. Landlord was a horrible person wanted to raise the rent because "I could get much more for this place than you are paying". The real estate agent (who couldn't stand her) stepped in and said, "well if you want to raise the rent you'll also have to do x, y, z". She backed off. We lived there for 17 years.

I lived in an apartment building for 10 years and changed three apartments in that time. When we bought a house and told the landlord that we were leaving the building because we needed a bigger kitchen, he offered us the penthouse for next to nothing (5,000 sf) and said I could do whatever I wanted. But I moved out as I'd never lived in a single family home and wanted to experience that. I regret leaving the high rise!!!🤣

She was thrilled when I brought her through. We ended up becoming great friends and I would help her out when she needed anything. It was such an honor to get to know her and if I was down she would give me wonderful advice and always made me feel better. I loved to hang out w/ her and listen to her stories. She passed and I had to move on as her kids sold the house. I guess my point is if you have an elder in your life, spend some time with them. I promise, you will make their day and they will give you nuggets of wisdom you won't get anywhere else. Cheers.

Roger is the loveliest man ever! This was so incredibly heartwarming.

Lord have mercy, this was a great video. I hope HGTV takes notes, because this is how you do a genuine heartfelt reveal. Rodger won the lottery for the best tenant ever and you got the best landlord ever. Seriously. Some landlords won't even let you change the curtains. Marvelous video, Drew❤️ -Megan

You should makeover his house and maybe make it accesible and easy for him to transit! He'll be delighted! Roger is the sweetest!

God Bless you! I owned a Duplex as my very first home, having grown up extremely poor,and Homeless, it was a dream to own a home. I live in New York , where tenants were allowed to trash, destroy , and live rent free. After losing all the money to my name to put it back together each time , I lost it after 12 horribly painful years. This brought such joy to my heart, see what happens when you are decent, the life you’ve added to your Landlord through all of your hard work to His Home?? A blessing for sure! Thanks for posting this, one day I hope to own a home again , never a duplex where I am at the mercy of renters, it broke my heart , I lost years of my life. 🙏👍

This was so incredibly wholesome and you were so kind and respectful to your landlord. It really shows what great character you have as a person, you were so gentle and considerate of Rodger as you showed him around the apartment. He was the sweetest!

I love how giddy and excited you are to show him everything like a child would their parent. So pure. Your work speaks for itself and we can tell Rodger loves it. Stunning work and a win win it was for both of you.

I love the way he kept saying "it's beautiful".

You are so talented. You have a trusting Landlord and you rewarded his trust! Sweet guy.

Roger is so adorable! I'm glad he wasn't upset by any changes. He gives off some great "Encouraging Grandpa" vibes; I hope you keep in touch with him.

Roger is a natural on camera, so happy he acknowledged the value you brought to his property alongside your talent, kindness and generosity. Such a nice way to farewell the apartment.

Okay, I have to say. This is so gorgeous. All of it. Elegant, peaceful, cosy, so very polished. There are not enough adjectives. You are so talented. What a future you have! I’m an immediate fan. God bless Andrew!

As a landlord (35yrs old 👸🏾) I love when my housemates (tenants) treat their space with such love & care. This is your home as well. Christmas is lit in our home, everyone’s doors are open, cooking, music. Wine and cakes being traded on all floors…LOVE

You made his day, his week, his month... you brought him great pride and joy having you as a tenant and treating his home with such respect. I bet he'd love to have you eat lunch with him maybe on the patio every so often!

I have so admired your work as you worked your way from room to room. It was a joy to see the completed space with Roger. You have such a gift and I am so thankful we get to see your work. Don't ever doubt your gifts. Hands down you are the best DIYer on You Tube. Wishing you only the best on your next "big" endeavor. I've no doubt your house will be a masterpiece when you are finished.

Your video reminds me of when my husband and I first got married (in 1989) and rented the big downstairs apartment from my great grandfather. After we were done decorating, we had him come downstairs to see it. He was 89 years old at the time. When he stood on the carpet in the front parlor he said, "wow, it's so thick. I think I'm going to tip over." My entire life, growing up, we were never allowed to use that front parlor, so it felt good being able to make it into a usable space. My great grandfather had purchased that house in 1925. It had all of the original clear cypress wood trim, and every few years he would pay someone to come in and strip off the clear coat and recoat it, so it always looked brand new. The front parlor had beautiful French doors going into it. I really miss that house. I was the 4th generation to live in that house. You did a beautiful job redecorating your apartment! Glad your landlord like it. ❤️😊

This video was so touching! Anyone would be lucky to have you as a renter! So great that Roger also benefited by letting you have your way with the place.

I'm an elderly landlord, and most of my tenants are 20-50 years younger than me. I love the relationship we see here. If you've lived in apartment complexes managed by faceless corporations most of your adult life, try a small-time landlord and see what a difference a direct relationship can make. It's a partnership where both can benefit. I usually have to spend the first year of a tenancy convincing my poor wounded tenants that I don't have horns and fangs...

I’m a landlord of 20 houses with 30 more in the works. Like you, I also get a lot of feedback about how frustrating it is to rent from big companies. Many of my renters are relieved to experience the difference made by an actual landlord tenant relationship. I have several tenants that have stayed with me for years and some repeat renters. I’ve even got lots of letters of recommendation from them.

You both lucked out with each other. He's so chill and was completely unbothered by any renovations you might've made over the years, and truly meant it! My landlord would've been all over me for any changes, especially if he lived right below me. And Roger ended up with a tenant with an incredible eye and managed to improve his rental!
