    They are hiring the people who do maintenance. So them asking you for money to pay for it isn’t parasitic. It’s most definitely justified. You’re living in a unit, you’re banging it up, so someone has to put on the adult pants and keep the roof over your head standing.

      Lmao I’m perfectly capable of paying someone to do maintenance myself, thank you.

        Yet somehow your complaining rent exists. Then just buy your property and pay for your own maintenance. But sounds like you just want to argue in bad faith even though it’s clear that some money is used for reasonable things in a rental agreement.

          I’m saying landlords aren’t necessary, especially if all you’re arguing they’re needed for is paying for ‘maintenance’.

          Your “just buy the property” quip is basically just ‘cry harder, plebe’. If anyone is ‘arguing’ in bad faith, it’s you.
