Lol! Looks like a fun guy!

Nah I know what you mean! My place barely gets sun and has no flywire - some of my doors and walls have like, moisture on them and dust.

My electric stove top only has two working burners, and if course the non-working ones are the two big ones (apparently minimum requirement is at least two, so I can't get the RE to fix it until another one goes).

They installed fluffy wool carpet all throughout the appt, and I'm fighting carpet moths, but if I stay another 3 years it will have depreciated entirely lol

But! They've only the raised the rent once, by $10 per week, in the four years I've been here. So I guess I can't complain ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah, things I know I can legally whinge about and the likely result of doing so are not compatible. This agent has a horrid reputation on many fronts.
