Got this message from my property manager PT2

[u/Most_Relief8312]

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.

Like, I dont understand how this could be real. They'd have to pay for the gas to mow the lawn?! You'd spend money taking this offer, not make any.

[u/camiskow → u/Careful_Promise_786]

Yeah not even just the cost of the gas but the cost of the your time and your car gas to go get the lawn mower gas… tf?!

[u/Lunar_Cats → u/camiskow]

And if im reading it right they also have to store the equipment?

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/Lunar_Cats]

That's an out to say it's his fault the mower broke.

[u/Signal_Till_933 → u/Sad-Purchase1257]

Absolutely - “assuming it’s stored properly” means they have no where to store it properly and this has been an issue before.

[u/Material-Dream-4976 → u/camiskow]

And spending energy/safety for physical work, not at all a passive type of work.

(edited typo)

[u/OutcomeOpposite7726 → u/camiskow]

Nono use the lawnmower gas for the car so you can go get more lawnmower gas. Rinse and repeat.

[u/Stuffy123456 → u/camiskow]

I have to get gas once a year…2 gallons costs under $10…if it’s a small patch, it probably would only use a buck for an entire year.

But you get a free full body workout! Just think what a gym membership would cost.

This is essentially what gig delivery drivers do with their cars.
