- 17Why do I have fleas if I don't have pets?Fleas can infest a home left vacant during a vacation by hatching from dormant pupa left behind by previous occupants or carried inside by wildlife. Dealing with the infestation requires continuous, relentless vacuuming and active treatment to break the life cycle, though it leaves people overwhelmed and exhausted by the daily routine.
- 8Can I replace a rental laundry tub to install a dishwasher?Swapping out a rental property's double laundry tub for a single one to fit a dishwasher is physically achievable, but plumbing complexity often intimidates tenants and makes the modification uncertain. Without knowing if the landlord permits alterations or if the drainage lines align, renters risk violating lease terms or getting stuck mid-project.
- 2Can apartments charge for priming and bathroom reglaze after move out?Landlords are charging departing tenants for normal maintenance like priming and bathroom reglazing, labeling them as damages rather than normal wear and tear. This leaves renters questioning whether they are legally required to pay for these steep repair and replacement costs.
