    Yep, my deal with my landlord is if there’s anything that needs fixing I’ll fix it myself and if I spend any money I’ll just forward him the invoice and he’ll deduct it from my rent. Although others don’t have the same situation as myself, I think there’s a place for landlords to exist.

      I’ve done that with my renter as well (don’t know the English word lol). Whatever he asks for in the end, I just deduct from the next couple of rent(s).

      If it’s something he’s not comfortable doing I’ll hire a professional.

      Yeah, damn those tenants who use their legal rights to actually get their landlords to maintain their own damn property. They’re just mean. If only all tenants just did free labour for their landlords, the world would be a better place.

      What a fucking joke.

        Dude, if you get to rent a place for half the market price, just try to be a decent person okay?
