    realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.

    The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don’t really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you

        I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.

        I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.

          Yeah. I can’t think of a single place I rented that I didn’t get my deposit back on.

          Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.

          I only had one time where they even tried to keep the deposit (out of about 10 or so places, I was in the military, so I moved a bit). I talked to them in person for all of 5 minutes and they gave up and gave it back.

            Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.

              I’ve never once claimed I didn’t have shitty landlords. You seem to assume a lot of shit. It’s called “due diligence”. Take pictures when you move in. Submit the shit on the maintenance requests within a couple weeks of moving in. And don’t fuck the place up in the mean time. Take pictures when you leave. This isn’t a hard process and virtually everyone has a cellphone with a camera to do it with. Boom deposit kept.

              Comparing literal due diligence for moving into a rental to rape is fucking outright stupid. You should be ashamed of yourself.

                You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don’t understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don’t have much in the way of rights.

                  Some of this, I can kind of understand… However, you don’t have to be rich to understand that refundable deposits are meant to be refunded if you take care of the place.

                  Those 10 or so places that I mentioned while in the military… I was enlisted. I made between 20-30k… With some money for housing allowance. I wasn’t rolling in dough.

          “This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”

          Fuck outta here.

        Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.

          Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.

            In Aussie but I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. There’s definitely some bad things in the US, but there’s also a bunch of good things.

              If you are on the bottom of the food chain there are basically no good things compared to other developed nations. I would shred my citizenship docs for a better choice.

    It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.

    As far as I know oil is ok. It’s liquid even when cold. But lard or grease will clump in cold water.

    The best thing to do is save your used grease in a can and put it in the compost or garbage bin

      Alternative : save your grease in a jar and heat it up and pour it down the sink the moment your slumlord increases your rent and prices you out of the building.

      Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.

        Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.

          Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
          Recycling is fair enough.
