Your tenants, are they white or colored?

I would just say I found it and I would drop it by later and just buy the new one and program it. Or simply say fuck off.  The owner of the home is being a dick, why does it have to be a company for 210 when it can be done for much cheaper.

If I had provided an OEM garage opener to a tenant and they lost it, I’d expect it to be replaced with an OEM opener, not some chinesium bullshit off Amazon that’ll probably break after a few weeks.  Why should the landlord be forced to accept an inferior product as a replacement when beakdoctor was the one who lost the opener?

That said, your first sentence is the smart move to take.  Get the exact replacement product and program it yourself

I guess all that matters is what your rental Agreement says.

It it says it will be replaced at 250 and the person signed the contract, then that is all that is relevant.

Yes, is there anything in the rental agreement about this?

Agreed. I wouldn’t buy a cheap one. I would buy a quality one, I’m not a cheap guy so I would always buy the best version available. I just don’t see the point in paying a company an extra 150 to come do it. But at the same time I’d prob just pay the 210.00 and say fuck it.

I’m torn here. But knowing me I would prob just pay the 210 instead of dealing with the time and bullshit.

This. Whenever you borrow something, bring it back in at least the condition you found it in. Dude is being a prick, but he’s not wrong. He shouldn’t be put out because a tenant lost something. He probably shouldn’t be a landlord either, as this type of shit he’s not equipped to deal with and should turn it over to a property manager.

In my opinion and experiences with tenants - with court orders, missing items etc: I'd say to that landlord, "you got off lightly, pal". Personally, I'd chalk it up to a minor inconvenience and fix it myself.

Hahaha!! LOL, you guys are killing me. Good shit.

To answer everyone's questions:

Proud Virgin. The house came with one of the cheaper remotes on the market. Thats one of the reasons I didn't make much of an effort to find it. I don't even think the opener itself is from Portland Overhead. But for argument sake I offered to buy whatever remote he.wanted. He wants one from portland overhead.  OK, thats fine. They're a little more expensive: 30 bucks vs. 10 to 15 bucks for the one that was lost.

2. What he wants me to pay for is someone from Portland Overhead to come out and Program it! Which is not necessary. 
Ive done it myself. Ive dealt with Portland Overhead previously on a property I used to own. The people overthere were actually quite honest when I called. "Yeah, we can do it but we charge a fee of 175 dollars. Its very easy to just do it yourself" Verbatim quote.

SF- Ive been there sonce 2020. In may of 2020 the property management company I signed an agreement with bailed out due to covid. So I worked with the owners. They told me they weren't equipped to be landlords they never managed the property themselves,  they weren't 'handymen' couldn't fix plumbing or landscaping etc... I said ok. Ill work with you but I want my rent locked in for the next 3 years at this rate. They agreed. Never produced a new rental agreement.  Everything by email. As far as incidentals we'll do our best. They were very nice people so I was a very forging tenant.  Ex- heat went out and it took them forever to fix it, came over with a space heater! Whatever Im easy. Hose burst under sink- very easy fix- took 5 days to replace meanwhile I had to do without kitchen sink. Whatever Im easy.

We did the walk through on my last day. Everything is good. Everything is fine. I left them a large tool box and yard tools that I purchased just so I could do landscaping.  When I moved I told this asshole- Im just going to donate this stuff to Goodwill unless you want it, I only bought it for the yard work here. He says sure Ill take it. So give about 300$ worth of yard equipment and a 500 $ toolbox. We shake hands and I leave.

A few days later he calls. Where's the garage door remote? Easy, it's in the toolbox that I gave you. A few days later he calls- its not there. Hmm thats odd, im pretty sure it was. Maybe it was in my old car that I sold awhile back. Uh tell you what those are cheap and easy to replace so I can do that for you or you can get a new one and i'll pay for it.


So I can't just go over and do it myself without his consent. I haven't lived there in a month. If I still did Id just take care of it myself.


A month goes by. Calls asking for 150. Ok. Why is it 150, the remote is 12.95 on amazon.? Im getting one fro. Portland Overhead.  Ok the one from portland overhead (which you dont need) is still only 36.98 at lowes? Don't tell me how to do my job. WHOAH. that escalated. I just want to know what costs 150. Its the service to get the remote from portland overhead AND to have 2 technicians from p.o. come out and program it. Look Ill buy you the .p.o. remote but I can program it myself. Ill replace the remote- even though im not entirely sure i lost it.

Guy is a fucking putz. Even his wife has referred to him as an idiot. So im ok with being cool about it but im not going to be a punk about it. After 3 years I asked to get out 3 weeks early because I found a great deal on a new place that i didn't want to lose.  NOPE. Ok. What if I forfeit the security deposit? Security deposit was a full months rent so its actually MORE than the pro rated 3 weeks? OK.

 Now this a month after moving out.

Sounds like the owner is in the wrong then. There is no agreement about the remotes and you're getting him an equal replacement and even offered to program it. If it is a simple thing to program (like most garage remotes... I did my own after watching a youtube video) then the $175 callout fee from the company should be out of his pocket not yours.

 Now this a month after moving out.

If you wanna press the issue, seek legal counsel.  In my city (chicago) there are all sorts of rules and procedures to follow and failure to do so can result in significant monetary damages.  Example: security deposits have to be in separate account, a receipt of deposit has to be provided, and some trifling amount of interest has to be paid (something like 0.01% … seriously, we’re talking pennies).  My friend got charged $400 for some issues, retained a lawyer and took it to court.  End result?  $7,000 judgement in his favor.

No idea what the legal climate for tenants is in your area but most tenant lawyers offer free consultations and are paid on contingency.  You don’t really have anything to lose by trying

Have you considered asking Primemuscle? I'm sure he would do it if you sent him a dick video.

PS - I talked to Stephanie, and she said you did, in fact, return everything.

This is actually pretty funny.

But I can't drag prime into this or your ropes....all that can stay between you and Primemuscle.

Odd that you were able to actually identify Stephanie.  Was it that obvious? Thought I scribbled out here name completely.

Anyway,  Stephanie had always been cool with me. Its her house and she's the landlord.  Her husband is a cuck. She's openly referred to him as an idiot.  She didn't even take his last name after marriage.  But her family and husband have all said she's too nice. She needs to strictly be a landlord not be friendly with tenants etc. . And she's always been cool. I know they were pissed at her when I got the rent locked in for 3 years. She would've let me lut of lease earlier but family said no causing me to give up the security deposit.

So after telling her husband to get fucked I texted her like 'wtf is goi g on? Am i missing something?' Its not about tgr 150 or 200 bucks... thats chump change but your husband is talking to me like an asshole. He needs to watch his mouth. Im not to be fucked with. Have I told you my personal feelings about disrespect?" And for the first time in 3 years she hasn't responded to me.

Landlord/tenant laws in Portland are notoriously biased toward the tenant. These people hate landlords as much as they hate cops. So thats in my favor. Im sure they are aware of that and that they'll get nowhere without a renewed rental agreement.  So it's over and done with.
