[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, to do what’s the harm with the circuit guy. It breaks at least 2-3 tenant rights in the DC bill of rights. Plus I’m sure it’s not safe.

Finally, if your place is so great and so is the rent, why don’t you spend a few hundred bucks to fix it? Or are there other things too?[/quote]

We're talking about safety, not the tenant's bill of rights.  But, ok, fine.  Tell me which "2-3 tenant rights" are violated when two parties to a rental agreement in DC -- the landlord and the tenant -- agree that, in the tenant's absence and only after making a reasonable effort to contact the tenant, the landlord may have access to the tenant's apartment for the sole purpose of correcting a tripped circuit breaker.

I'll wait.[/quote]

Lease does not erase the rights. Privacy, quiet enjoyment etc.

But fundamentally, you are engaged in an illegal activity that can and has killed and hurt people.
Why? I really don’t get it.

Even though you may be a special case and both parties are perfectly happy, the vast majority of people in these situations don’t know their rights, may not speak the language, fear eviction, can’t report things that are wrong etc. You think someone who won’t pay for an inspection will rush to fix and replace things. There are very few to no good guys who do this, because if you seriously thought about it you would be doing it, especially where STR is an option if CofO is somehow unfairly an obstacle (that’s also rarely the case). Try to understand that side of the argument too.

In other words, you can't name the 2-3.  Ok.[/quote]
