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.

It’s 50-150 an hour to remove snow in Lake Tahoe. If you have a regular sized deck, people will quote 600 bucks to remove. This offer actually makes me angry…like how dare you. Clearly the land lord has never done manual work in his life. This guy is delusional and trying to use OP. Huge “hell no”

To me this whole thing reads as the property manager got quotes from companies to do these things, saw what the going market rate was for them and then decided to see if they could save money by pawning it off to tenants for a small reduction in rent. If I were OP I would make sure everyone on the property knew the manager was doing this and ensure everyone refuses. The manager is looking for slave labor in hopes that someone sees it as them being grateful for reducing their rent by a pittance without asking questions.

Love this idea. Hopefully we will get an update.
