i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it’s making more more slovenly than i want to be because it’s such an inconvenience to throw stuff away.

like should i buy a hand truck? that wouldn’t help for garbage bags

    They might be under the impression that people are buying these apartments instead of renting them, and then there’s some sort of HOA that covers those things.

      It doesn’t matter if you buy or rent. At least here you always have an apartment union that all residents are a part of, it’s required. Like if you want a water filter installed to the general water intake or want a bike rack in front of the building you ask the union and they bring it up during a meeting so if the budget allows for it they’ll put it on a vote. Like how else would you get like a bike rack or a garden for your building?

        There is no such standard or organization in the US for people who rent. People are free to form their own groups, but they would hold no legal power.
