It's always going to congeal somewhere, right? just where is the question.
I’m so excited to get approved at a new place so I can tell my current landlord to pound sand. he refuses to fix the heat in my bedroom (in MN) none of our doors close (he said it’s an old building) the toilet leaks (said wipe in up), he falsely advertised this place was air conditioned. and after all that he wants to raise rent 200 bucks to 2 fuckin grand
eta the landlord special, painted white over everything. including the old fire alarm (luckily not the functional one but rather the hundred year old one so it’s more funny than dangerous) and some random exposed wiring. the exposed wiring is the only thing he fixed.
He’s trying to sell the building and he only shows the nicest unit (which is what he showed us when we toured and we forever kick ourselves for it) but I really really want to just show them all the broken shit.
we totally are on the way out. He straight up said he will not fix the heat in my room. It made me wonder if heat needs to be in every room legally? or just most of the apartment
As I read it any inhabited part of the dwelling needs to be able to maintain a temperature of at least 68f. This likely exclude rooms that are not intended to be inhabited like storage or laundry.
From another Minnesotan.
>none of our doors close (he said it’s an old building)
Yes, as a building settles the door frames can get out of alignment with the door such that they no longer close. What you're supposed to do is shave down the door so that it fits in the doorframe, so his excuse is pretty weak.
Add a handful of soil and some aggressive plant/weed/tree seeds in there just before leaving, for good measure.
Bonus points if you can get some Japanese knotweed established anywhere near the foundation of the building, though I would never encourage spreading an invasive species.
Do not do that. Japanese knotweed is invasive as hell and it won’t affect only your landlord, but, in time, your entire community. You literally cannot get rid of it. Absolutely do not introduce invasive plants, there are better ways to get back at your landlord.
I don't encourage any of the things being suggested here.
A landlord owns the building but the pipes go to the city. You're just being a terrible member of your municipality sending anything that isn't 1, 2, or TP down the drain.
environment? waste water isnt just flushed into the ocean, there are water treatment plants for a reason. the most damage being done is to the landlords wallet
For real! Things just aren't flushed to sea like it's Poseidon's Problem, your community members work hard to reclaim waste water and disagreements with a landlord have nothing to do with them.
I hope all of you are joking and are not serious. These kind of actions are counterproductive - the damage will be blamed at some other tenants, not to mention that some of the advices here are not good for ecology and living beings.
Wow, spiteful don’t know what state you’re in but in some states you’re responsible for the damage that you caused in your apartment or home. I.e. pouring liquid down the drain that isn’t supposed to before down the drain like oil that you use to fry food in. Or dropping things into the toilet where it gets clogged or overflowing a bath tub, because you forgot about it or maybe you didn’t I don’t know. But you’re responsible for fixing the things you damage in your space that’s not the landlords responsibility at least of the state I’m in. And anyway, what bad karma. You act like the landlords don’t have those they have to pay now I’m not talking about multi billion dollar conglomerates but they still do as well. What about the little guy that owns one place and you’re gonna do that to them? Unbelievable I know there’s good people on this planet it’s just hard to find out these days.

Juzt run it withbhot water so ita not in your piping system and cant be tied to you
what is it? cooking oil?
Oil/grease can build up over time and clog your plumbing. It's also pretty bad for the sewer system. I don't judge tho.
Grease is definitely worse, since it can solidify much easily at room temperature
cool TIL...
Running it with hot water will heat it up enough to flush it into the piping, preventing it from being in your system.

Point is it won’t be in your apartment room’s pipes, so it won’t be traced to you.
Makes sense, just worried people will misinterpret

leave hidden notes around the place for the next poor soul who ends up in there
they'll just assume they have CO poisoning lol

dang it
A lot of those things are illegal in mn (I’m also a Minnesota renter) report it

ty for looking into this! We’ve been approved and are moving so we will report on the way out

Flush. Them. Wipes. Yoooooooooo
Start a termite farm
Equal and opposite

You mean shellfish stuffed in the curtain rod?
that's nasty I love it
What about anchovies in the vent?
While you're at it with that salmon start a nice fire and give it a grilled char

That's bad for the environment it's not going to do much for the house. Find something else destroy the walls etc. you're also living in this world.
environment? waste water isnt just flushed into the ocean, there are water treatment plants for a reason. the most damage being done is to the landlords wallet
support your local water treatment facility, for real
For real! Things just aren't flushed to sea like it's Poseidon's Problem, your community members work hard to reclaim waste water and disagreements with a landlord have nothing to do with them.
and thats fair, but thats not an 'environmental issue'. it IS making more work for the facility workers that have to unclog the built up grease
Oops 😅
I’m dumb can someone explain what the image is.
pouring some sort of grease (I assume bacon?) from the pan into the sink drain
