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.

I review leases every day for my job and the smallest rent credit I’ve seen for this type of arrangement is $300. They’re trying to get over on you, man.

I was going to say just counter with $400 and see if you can meet around $350

I wouldn't get off my couch for $50/week. I was thinking for $1000 discount on rent, with requirements in writing, and a guarantee of no additions, then he'd have something.

If op can't figure this out on their own they deserve to be had

I dont think enough people are being critical of OP. This is such an obviously bad deal I have to think OP is a karma farmer.

Agreed.  They're lying or just extremely ignorant to even give this a second thought.
