    What idiot pays for upgrades to a house they’re just renting, Jesus wept.

      Seriously. The most I’d EVER do is free basic repairs and that’s only because my last landlord was my good friend, meaning I was getting a killer deal.

        I did that when I had an awesome landlord. I just sent pics about what I was fixing and gave her a price. Then I got my rent reduced by that much.

        But that was the only rental property she owned. It was extra money for her, not her primary income. And I paid several hundred less than anyone else in the area according to Zillow.

        I did basic repairs at my old place. The rent was well below market and I’d rather do it than have to deal with the landlord’s odd schedule.
