Lots of conservatives tell me that having a landlord alleviates me of responsibilities bc landlord has to fix my unit.

Now that I know more about construction, if I did as bad of a job as them at repairs, I’d be fired. On top of refusing to do many repairs forcing me to do my own repairs. Even though I pay them, multiple landlords are belligerent (swearing at me, threats), which i’d 10000% be fired for at my jobs. Not to mention half of them don’t give notice before coming into my room for ‘repairs’ (not even something to repair, just an excuse)
