The whole building's water was continually pooling in my bathroom. Landlord's response was "Its fine. If you want to move into a more expensive apartment we'll wave the imaginary $500 paperwork fee. Your monthly rent will go up $200 tho."
After a week of aggressive bullying I am now in a much larger apartment for the same rent, they ate all the costs.
It helps to remember that landlords are parasitic slugs that deserve the worse contempt your brain can produce. Do not give them a grain of respect. :mao-shining:
Owning something is not a job. The ones who work hard are the maintenance crews. There's no reason we shouldn't pay them directly.
