I can’t believe you’re honestly asking this question. Do you want the landlord to wipe your ass for you too? Ok, that one was probably over the top, but my point is the landlord isn’t responsible for any little imperfection in your home. Just like you would feel ill-used if you left a spot in the oven when you left and he kept your security deposit.
I used to rent a place in Lemon grove when I was a resident. During my four years there I trapped 38 mice in my kitchen, and would never have dreamed of calling the landlord thinking it was HIS responsibility.
Marion, it’s not my habit to flame post anyone, but I get a sense from your postings that you are a particularly entitled person.
