realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.
The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don’t really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you
Bro thinks he is getting his deposit back crying laughing emoji skull emoji
Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.
hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant
Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.
I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.
Yeah. I can’t think of a single place I rented that I didn’t get my deposit back on.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
I only had one time where they even tried to keep the deposit (out of about 10 or so places, I was in the military, so I moved a bit). I talked to them in person for all of 5 minutes and they gave up and gave it back.
“This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”
Fuck outta here.
Right. I’m all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They’ll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you’re still living there, you’re only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.
Aren’t you also clogging the city pipes?
Of course you are. But people who ruin other people’s property already don’t give two shits about others.
Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.
Just pour latex house paint down the drains, whats this baby tier “grease” bullshit.
Until your toilet stops up and floods dookie all over your stuff a week later
You know what will cover up that dookie damage? latex house paint. Solves all your problems.
I see no issues whatsoever with this plan of action
Edit: any flaws in the plan can, of course, be addressed with latex house paint
