I have plumbers replacing the sewer line at my tenant house. The digging machine hit and broke an electric wire underground. It sparked. Tripped a breaker inside the house, but everything works. The power line to the house is overhead. We can't figure out WTF it is, why it's hot, why it's connected to the breaker panel. So, they called an electrician who is going to reconnect it, they'll cover it up again, and I'll pretend we didn't see it.

I made the mistake of being accommodating to my former #landlord and it turned into a big argument via text over electric bills. I just should've completely blocked her after she returned the deposit. She was texting me last night calling me a liar and "unbelievable" when she asked me to keep paying the electric bill and it was just so uncalled for after four years of quietly paying our rent and not asking for much of anything.

Trying to be nice was a mistake

Northview says crime, vandalism rampant in its N.W.T. buildings
One of the north’s biggest landlords is calling for changes to landlord-tenant law in the Northwest Territories, saying it’s “drowning in this crisis” of constant vandalism and violence plaguing its buildings in Yellowknife and Inuvik.

Landlords do not provide housing, they actively make it more scarce by hoarding a strained resource people need to survive. To any extent they may perform a service they are doing so with YOUR income and then just skimming a hefty profit off the top to sit around and own the place. Think of everything your landlord has EVER done for you, then add up how much sum total you've paid them and ask yourself if this system makes sense #rent #landlord #capitalism #leftism #housingCoop #anarchism

More reason to hate that #landlords even exist at all, even if courts say you legally don't owe them any more #money, the #landlord can just #lie to #debt collectors and a #credit agency out of spite anyways and tank your credit score so low that you are barred from any future #housing

Landlords have too much power to #abuse. More #reason the #workingclass needs to stand together and #fight against all the #rich bastards who #exploit us
