TLC; I can see the root of your problem. You fail to realize (Due to your own nature or upbringing.) that beside being a tenant you are also a neighbor. And you must strive to be good neighbors. (It cuts both ways.) I had a hunch that your interpersonal problems didn’t just start out of thin air. When you tell your neighbor/landlord that you expect him to shlep your trash, you’re automatically showing that you expect him (for the rent money) to be your servant. And when you kvetch about the stairs not being cleaned, I would tell you that taking a shovel and cleaning for a change wouldn’t floor you. I rent an apartment, too. I rented all my married life. B”H we never had an issue about taking out the garbage or clearing the snow. Yes. I did have an argument with my landlord. He wanted to shlep my trash and I said NO. Try not to have an attitude that things are coming to you for paying the rent.
