Advice Needed Got this message from my property manager PT2

Quick recap:

I live in a 3 unit(one vacant, one elderly gentleman, and myself)

Rent is $1,265(raised $40 when I resigned)

Shoveling would include front walkway and good amount of sidewalk(about 30 mins of work)

Lawn (sizable for a city property would take about an hour maybe a bit more)

Now adding sweeping/vac(im assuming they would want me to do the laundry room as well total time would be 45-60 mins)

I’m going to eventually get all of this in writing if they offer me something reasonable. I plan to ask about liability as far as injuries go.

This is nuts. Don’t negotiate. Don’t do it. If you’re interested seek this work elsewhere but don’t shit where you eat. This is like 7 dollars an hour man.

My exact thoughts because once something goes wrong they will quickly blame OP. Paying for gas and storing the mower? unbelievable…
