>Spend weekend with parent inspecting old house we lived in when I was in high school, which he rents out but is in between tenants
>First time visiting in more than a decade; went upstairs and laid down in my old room and just stared at the ceiling for a while
>AC cuts on, pleasant hum
>Everything is in decent condition
>Life there wasn't perfect but I do miss it
>Come back home to rentoid box
>Pass by the hallway minisplit heat pump, whisper quiet at all times
>Go inside
>Half the kitchen outlets are out
>GFCI outlet near the fridge keeps tripping; unplug the fridge, reset, leave for a while, come back, plug in only the fridge, trips immediately
>Call maintenance, tell them we need a fridge replacement
>Guys come, fuck around all day
>End result: they tried to replace the fridge outlet and GFCI outlets and now none of the outlets on that circuit work
>About halfway through, I call the front office and ask them to call out an electrician because these guys are nice but don't know what they're doing
>They finally agree to replace the fridge, but since none of the outlets work, I'm not transferring all my food to a warm fridge
>They'll be back in the morning to fix the outlets
>I could literally do all of this myself but it'd break the lease
>AC cuts on
>Loud as balls because the main return is like 3 feet from the blower

Can you rent your old house from your dad?
>>
>>2945294
Nah, rent's too high, I just signed a lease and I don't have the money to pay movers. Plus, if the recession that seems to be coming comes and I'm out of the job, now I'm in legal trouble with family, which is no fun.

Apparently the creator thought so too, which is why they felt the need to put their watermark at the end. Gotta build that brand.

I rented a house for one year after moving to a new area and it sucked. At least you're not one of the spergs on here that's afraid to ask the landlord to fix shit and tries to /diy/ it with duct tape and spackle. Good luck saving enough to get a real place before investment firms buy them all up.

Yep. The capitalist system works in such a way that merit is rewarded and the competent and hard working always raise to the top
