It's not always bad to be friends with your landlord, it depends on the landlord. My last one was a long time family friend and he left us alone besides expecting a check. If something went wrong he always trusted us and helped us. If we complained about other tenants he knew we weren't being difficult or making anything up. The place was a dump but I still look back on it fondly.

My current landlord is a typical old Portuguese guy, friendly as long as you don't try to screw him over. He leaves us alone but he does like to talk a lot sometimes. He also brings us gifts from Portugal when he travels there, I think he likes us.
