I don’t want to deal with hiring anyone to do anything. I pay my landlord to do all of that. That’s worth it to me.
For example, when I moved in the fridge died about a year in. I told my landlord and he sent me the name and number of a repair place. I told him that’s nice, but it’s not my fridge and I’m not going to call anyone for it. That’s his job. That’s why I’m paying him. That’s why I’m calling him.
I’ve got other things to do. He owns it, he deals with it.
Sorry, unfortunately I live in the real world and don’t have an extra few hundred laying around for an unexpected new fridge. And no, owning my own home would not give me that extra money. Because, again, I live in the real world.
What real world exists where paying a massive % of your income to a landlord is cheaper than doing those things yourself???
Getting a fridge fixed is a fraction of what rents cost basically everywhere anymore. i could get a really nice new fridge for less than my monthly rent.
And remember they tried to pawn it off on you in the first place. They’re parasites. They need to go. Que the quote about the Maoist uprisings against the landlords.
