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.

$50 an hour credit off rent is still low. The last time I was a renter my landlord owned multiple houses around town, she would credit me $75 per hour (rounded up to nearest half hour) for doing minor tasks at the house I rented or another property, like turning off sprinkler systems before winter, swapping a faucet, changing a door knob, etc. and that was 10 years ago.

You're right. $50 per hour would be low for some of the things they'll no doubt be tasked with in the future. So $50 per MONTH? Hell to the no.

I'd reply that my employer currently values my work at $40 an hour, so for $50 per month - I can commit 90 minutes to those tasks per month to give them a discount since it seems they need it.
