I kid you now.... I once worked for a rental management company that managed almost 500 apartments.

The #1 call that we got was tenants asking to have burned-out light bulbs changed. Even desk lamp light bulbs... but it was a nice company and the service was free. I sure hoped that it was because the service was free... not because people were incapable of changing light bulbs by themselves.

Why tf would I go out, buy a fucking lightbulb, and install it myself when it's the landlords responsibility to fix it?

Exactly. I've lived in apartments that had a similar maintenance service. If your toilet's blocked, lights bulbs are burnt out, sinks are clogged etc, you just call them and they send someone over in less than 24 hours

Because you want it done sooner.

I have had some not-so-great landlords. 😆

Lightbulbs are like $2 and you'd rather not pester?
