12/29/2020 19:02To the man who is on a rent strike, we empathize with you and hope your life improves. 👉🐁 Please tho, don't use the incredibly cruel Glue Traps for mice: just use the old standbys, the Trip and Neck Break Traps. They are immediate and do not cause prolonged suffering.👈

12/29/2020 15:41If the landlord would say you can fix that for your rent, maybe that would ease up on some of those problems. I started doing some of that when I first started renting and the landlord knocked off some cash. I did not do the best job but he liked it that I at least tried. I learned quickly. It is not that difficult.
