Is this a fridge you own or one provided by the landlord?

We had to use pliers to take showers for two years at one place, always had excuses for why he couldn't fix it, to say nothing of the cockroaches that moved in after signing our second lease.... another place had such f##%ed up power outlets that I learned shock therapy to repair nerve damage in your shoulder really works! take that "you need surgery" crowd! I just needed to stick my finger in a faulty power socket in my sleep:-)

You put up with crazy s%&+ living on the cheap, still no fridge sucks, I can't live without one (knocks on wood, not the fridge, which can go at any moment:-D

No, but the housing conglomerate that owns my apartment complex does. My landlord can't do s!&~ until they get approval from their boss.

I stole a mini-fridge from Syracuse University, so my condiments and iced tea are safe, but the thing isn't big enough to fit anything else. The fridge provided by the landlord is older than I am-- the freezer part still works, but the actual fridge part is warm and full of water.


Got a good old-fashioned Savannah thunderstorm going on outside. Unfortunately, this is Syracuse, so everyone is losing their s&@!.

Awesome! Bright red is fun. I did the fire engine red hair many years ago. It was a good look, but a bit too tame for me now. :)

Yeah, it's amazing what's "legal" and what's "reality".

We were in a triplex in Albany, a land where a rental at $1/sq. ft. is considered a steal, and one of our co-tenants was a lawyer, for gosh' sake. Yet our landlord's "fix" when his bathroom floor rotted out to expose the downstairs bathroom was to throw a piece of scrap plywood over it and say, "See? Now you can't see the downstairs bathroom and you won't fall through. Repair DONE!" If a fuse blew, he'd replace it with one at double or triple the amperage rating (unclear on the concept, much?). When the lawyer filed a certified letter and stopped paying rent, he let him. And chose to stop any maintenance or repairs on that property. He was willing to lose the whole building rather than cave!

When our leases came around next year and he'd increased all our rents by almost 30% for the year, we all moved out at once. Then, big surprise, he sold the ramshackle building for a profit.

Even though I am one, in general, landlords are scum.

I am extremely extremely thankful that I've somehow managed to avoid all these sorts of landlords. All the ones I've had have been very good to downright awesome and accommodating.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Well, I think the absolutely most disturbing things I've seen on the whole rental front are:

(1) As a tenant, I pay my rent on time and don't bug the landlord for minor things like changing a lightbulb. That's it. I'm not exactly Mr. "I'll upgrade your property for you!" If the fridge breaks, I contact the landlord and ask for repairs. But most of the time I just pay the rent and don't bug the landlord. And every landlord I've ever had has rated me, "One of my best tenants, EVER!"
Hearing horror stories from my friend about his tenants chopping down all the trees on the property for firewood and then burning the house down just make me wonder what most tenants are like to make me so remarkably good just because I don't ask for much... apparently paying the rent on time and only asking for repairs that cost over $3 makes me "remarkable".

(2) As a landlord, I just insist on getting the rent on time, and if the tenants complain that something isn't working I say, "OK, have this company fix it and send me the bill."
And I'm the "miracle landlord". Just because I demand rent on time, authorize repairs on my property, and otherwise leave my tenants alone.

It reminds me of work. I show up on time, every day. Work during my work hours (mostly). Do what I'm asked to do. Go home. And I'm up for yet another promotion. Because I just do what I'm asked to do.

Strange world!

I hope it's intentional, because my absolute FAVORITE part of this post is that you can't tell whether Freehold is calling ME a scumbag for being a landlord at all, or my former scumbag landlord.

All landlords are scumbags, myself included!


My last landlady just sent ME a bill for all the maintenance to her house she's doing after Mrs Gersen and I moved out (she did none at all when we were living there). I told her she'd have to sign a statement waiving me of any and all future claims for anything before I'd even consider giving her a nickel.

She doesn't know the difference between a tenant and a caretaker.


I've been looking through the "skilled trades employment" section on Craigslist, and in between listings for electricians, carpenters, and plumbers, I spotted this gem:

GYPSIES, PALM READERS,TAROT READERS ETC
compensation: VERY generous lucrative revenue split!
Location, Tent and Large crowds provided- weekends in July and August
Inquire by email include your contact phone number.
Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.

Skilled trades, eh?


A few pages later, there was an ad for an "experienced herdsperson."

Sounds like you are a standard deviation away from the mean on both ends.

I had a job as an assistant shepherd once, but not for long. I spent most of my time tipping sheep over so the chief shepherd could apply blue stuff to their feet to stop them rotting. I did not get a crook, nor did I get a Collie dog. Nobody let me whistle at them and shout 'Come by!' or anything like that.

RUBBISH.

I lived on a farm for 18 years, not a big one, but my parents were originally city folk, so they went all out, a few cows (milked by hand, I know my around an udder:-D) chickens, turkeys, pigs, goats, rabbits (130 at one point when dad thought it was going to be the new chicken), a horse... think that's it :-)

I am in middle of the first one. Finally.

Of course it went on hiatus because I played updated Valdis Story and now, after finishing playing Gilda (and being too tired to finish Vladyn) I came back to playing Witcher I. I just finished first act. Maybe this time I'll finish it and finally start the second one... I'll finish Mass Effect one day, though.

Have I mentioned that I found on the shelf UFO Trilogy? It is one of the games that I borrowed from friends ages ago but for some reason it refused to start on my laptop then. I will probably give it a try soon...
