      In the most charitable interpretation, the rent price only barely covers the wear and tear without wfh, but we all know that’s not true.

    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.

      I turn on the light maybe 20 minutes a day for eating and maybe finding something. Do I get a discount because I like to live in the dark?

        As a fellow creature of the night, I keep my windows and blinds closed at all times, that’s cutting down on both UV and other weather damage.

        Check please.

    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.

    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.

    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.
