I got landlord to agree to me taking $50 off next rent payment. He told me to clear the sofa off next time. I told him that the stuff stays! No idiot, stupid worker should be putting dirty tools on my furniture. I told him exactly that.

Here’s something else I didn’t mention yesterday. He has a habit of doing work or a repair and leaving bits and pieces of crap, parts packaging, etc., on the floor, counter, etc. I told him to make sure the living room was cleaned up yesterday. He did vacuum and pick up. But the kitchen disposal had to be reinstalled in sink as it was apparently leaking a but, which I didn’t know. All the stuff that was in cupboard underneath sink was all over my kitchen floor, with small bits of something on the floor. Greasy paper towels were in the kitchen trash, stinking up my entire place. He cleaned up the LR, and left the kitchen a mess.

Last year he replaced the thermostat which is directly above a small bookcase with my icons on the top. He left all sorts of bit of paint chips, packaging, drywall dust directly on top of my icons. Boy, was I angry. If he bothers to tell me he’s going towork on X, then I would move stuff in the way, but he doesn’t so I end up having to clean my stuff off.

He wants to replace the furnace and the tile around the bathtub when I’m on vacation this summer. I don’t want the work done, even though, it needs to be done because I know I’ll come home from vacation to a mess and have to spend hours cleaning. He doesn’t get the what the problem is. I think I’m going to have to talk to his wife.
