I had one landlord offer me $200 off my security deposit if I would clean the two-foot-high mound of actual dogshit from the kitchen before moving in. Like, not even a break on the actual rent, just a lowering of the deposit and she thought I’d be too stupid to know the difference. TBF she probably never returned anybody’s deposit so in a sense she really would have been saving me money.
