When I was renting that was me lol. Tbf, the reason I didn't want to deal with the landlord is because I didn't pay the pet fee...nor the "smoke jazz tobbaccy in the apartment" fee...
"Look it'll be easier for me to just do it than to hide the cats and bongs ok?"
I had sparks flying out of my fixtures in one room from old water damage. After 2 days I just replaced them myself with $3 gfi switches and plugs and put an Arc fault breaker in.
When I moved out I took the outlets and breaker with me. I didn't need them, but fuck those guys.
I installed a ceiling fan in my apartment when I first moved in, and you bet your ass I'm uninstalling it and taking it with me when I move out. It's a nice ceiling fan.
