Normally I support Everett but I don't understand the request. Is he asking for plumbing to be done but demands the landlord pays for it?
It's the landlord's property. Why should Everett have to pay for something that is someone else's property? It's not like he could take it with him when he moves out. And while it makes Everett's living situation better, It also adds to the property's value so the landlord actually benefits from the installation. But like all landlords, he's too stupid to see that actually investing the money in keeping a place nice with decent amenities to make tenants happy and comfortable will make him more money in the long run.
No wonder we're at where we're at.
Why should Everett pay for this?
Follow up question: How much do you tip your landlord?
That's my takeaway.
He is, but you also need to understand the context is that, as a landlord, he's fucking lying about the affordability.
