yeah, i dunno steve.
Even if it was one of my buds fathers place, I still would have said.
Hey can you have someone come in here and clean up the rugs before I move in?
When I moved into the place in west seneca I asked the landlord, she said sure and the next day stanley steamer was pounding at the door.
Its not real expensive, and its to the benefit of the owner because its upkeep on their unit.
Same deal with paint.
Don’t do anything yourself or spend any out of pocket money. My landlord even comes by with little things like rocksalt for the porch, and boxes of light bulbs.
Wait until you get a house to work on it, the only thing I do here is keep the place super clean, and they appriciate that.
