    Damn, poor landlord will have to spend a little bit more of my fucking money to fix it.

      Yeah. When they complain I always want to ask them “Really? What did you do with the last $2,000 I gave you?” like a disappointed father.

    So you rent an apartment, but are only allowed to be there a certain amount of hours per day? What’s next, every 5min you have to listen to ads? Only allowed to use the toilet 3 times a day, otherwise the toilet door hinges will wear too fast?

    This guy isn’t a landlord. Property’s degrade far quicker and worse when left unoccupied for long periods of time. Leaks go unreported. Water freezes in the pipe. Air becomes damp and mold takes over. Squatters move in and trash the place.

      That guy is an idiot, which as far as I can tell is all the prerequisites needed to be a leech.

      If all landlords knew that, there wouldn’t be an “unoccupied houses to homelessness” ratio, tbf.

    Yeah, hi, um… Fuckface McParasite… You have literally zero fucking say over what people do in their home you fucking moron. If that means your precious fucking lightswitches wear out faster, too bad, so sad.

    Isn’t a light switch 99¢ or less especially if you buy a pack of 10 ? This does not justify a $200/month increase if you WFH like I saw in an ad. I wasn’t sure it was a joke or not

      A decent switch will run you about $2.48USD. Not sure about contractor packs but I’m sure it’s cheaper. Your point still stands.
