[quote=Anonymous]I still get angry when I recall some of the ridiculous things my landlords expected me to do over my years of renting. One wanted us to wash the walls - REALLY? and then wanted to deduct the exterminator's bill for eradicating ants. There were literally thousands marching across our walls, but we had to listen to a lecture about cleanliness. Another landlord wanted us to pay for polishing the hardwoods - we'd lived there for probably 5 or 6 years. Unfortunately we were young and naive and didn't stand much of a chance against their threats of lawsuit. You rent - pay the maintenance bills yourself unless it's something egregious like a hole in the wall or black ink stains on the hardwood. If you can't afford to pay the bills you can't afford the rental. Or better yet raise the rent to offset the inevitable expense post-rental cleanup.[/quote]
