    That’s how I feel every time I have to mow the lawn even though I’m renting from them.

    Free labor for them.

      Is it in your lease that you need to mow the lawn? Here, it’s the landlord’s responsibility unless you specifically agree to it.

        My lease has two things. Mow the lawn AND abide by any HOA shit, so I had to mow the lawn to their standards and do the random bullshit they came up with. My garbage cans were in front of my house for 9 months and then all of a sudden it was a problem. Fuck HOA’s and land bastards

          Well, if you decide to move out you can be a prick your last few months there and a violate every HOA rule imaginable. Might try to take away your deposit but could be worth it.

          That second one is the real killer.

          Well defined and constrained responsibility: No problem.

          Open-ended obligation to people you don’t know: Bottomless pit of potential despair.

        In my case yeah. Sucks but me mowing the lawn is still cheaper than hiring a company to do it.

        So I pretend to be Hank Hill once a week.
