#renting an apartment almost always makes me have to make a difficult choice:

Do I fix a leaky faucet myself (100% have the ability to do so) and flex my belief of #RightToRepair

Or

Do I schedule with the land lord to get it done in like 2-3 weeks. And not have to worry about the small chance something gets damaged

For reference: the leak is only while running and is from the faucet above the sink so it isn’t causing any damage, it is just annoying.

I think the rental inspection went ok (hopefully).

They were over an hour late, the owner attended as well. I got to chat to her about how she ended up with the house, and how it still belongs to her father who is in a nursing home, but he's put it in a trust for her. Hopefully this means that we'll be able to stay for a couple of years until we move to the UK.

We have our first rental inspection in the new house on Tuesday, and I'm so anxious about it that I already can't sleep.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you almost kill a building full of renters due to incompetence, don’t send stupid email like this 🤦🏻‍♀️ #SanDiegoPowerOutage #SanDiego #renter #Landlord #negligence

Vielleicht nicht ganz so extrem, aber das kommt auf mich auch zu.
Das älter werden. Alt sein.

An interesting read. I’m not a homeowner, for many reasons, but a #renter who is lucky to have a decent #landlord. That said the lack of affordable #housing in the #US is scary as f**k. Something’s gotta change. #homelessness #renters #affordability #redlining

Kan vi blive enige om at der er absolut ingen teknisk forhindring i at banker, behøver at flytte overførelser til en hverdag (næst kommanderende bank dag)? . F.eks. hvis du skal modtage penge en fredag og det så først er tilgængelige mandagen efter fordi...renter. #itweekend #bankdage #renter #dkmastodon
