Yes, I’m sure. I just get a little tired of seeing all the slamming on landlords, when most of the issues I see are from tenants that are every bit as bad as the landlords they complain about. To be fair, I know there are many, many bad landlords and slum lords out there.

Just a heads up - the amount you can obtain from your ex will depend on how you agreed to split the rent each month. If your ex was paying 50%, you can get that amount back. If your ex was paying 10%, then you can get that.

This seems fair to me. Whoever is installing the dryers (assuming a typical US electric dryer) should be competent enough to know if it’s an issue with the electrical source. If they can’t, they should not be installing the dryer.
