People live in apartments to afford shelter, you’d be hard-pressed to find one that actually likes it better.

I might want to live in one so that I could avoid doing 90% of the stuff that needs to be done in and around my house and focus on things I like doing.

You assume the landlord will do it?

Now that's an lol moment.

They don't do shit in general. Just barely enough to fulfill the letter of the law. Nothing even close to trying to maintain property value, just enough to keep them out of court.

Mfers even used "I might want" because he has never actually experienced living in an apartment enough to understand.

Yeah, I haven't lived in a shitty apartment that everyone seems to be referring to here and elsewhere.

I have plenty of friends and family that do though. And the house I lived in was rented and I had to deal with their maintenance or lack thereof in a very similar way.

Edit- never mind, this was directed at the previous guy

Oh, I don't mean rent.
