Our landlord wanted us to pay for the ac being fixed...during the hottest part of July.

You could be on fire in front of me, and I'd piss on you. Tell me you're a landlord and I'll need the first month and last month deposit first.

    Piss would be too good for them. I'd just get some marshmallows and sticks out

    Wouldn't the pee just make the fire burn harder and be gross too and an insult? I feel like it is worse.

    Oh it gets better. The hurricane that ripped through Georgia a year or so back ripped up our fence. They wanted us to keep it there until they could find someone to put it up.

    It was rotted and no one wanted to do it...they were gonna keep a rotted fence on the ground in our yard.

    I don't know about you, but Georgia got some bad snakes. I broke that bitch down, built a fire pit and burned it. They can marinate my family jewels if they think I'd keep a snake den in my back yard with my 6 yr old.

    My last landlord put a clause in the lease that made me responsible for any sewer line repairs. I was like what the fuck is this? He said it was because tenants tend to flush shit you shouldn't flush and that's why sewer lines need to be replaced. To his credit (sort of) he took that out when I said no way I was signing. He was a member of that species of landlord that just puts whatever into leases because some people will sign anything.

    The one thing he did that I liked which surprisingly does not seem common in rental leases was to require me to purchase and maintain renter's insurance. Not because he gave a shit about my stuff being stolen or lost in a fire (which renter's insurance covers) but because it's a source of coverage in the event of damage caused to the place by the renter. It was only like $15 a month so hardly a big deal.

    Every apartment I've ever lived in requires renters insurance. It's so cheap that I'd argue it's a good idea to have regardless of whether required by the building. So many things are out of your control (floods, fire, weather damage, etc) and it's good to know that with the insurance you'd at least he able to get new stuff to maintain a similar living situation.
