It BETTER keep my rent down and I BETTER get every penny of my cleaning deposit back WITH interest whether I clean up this place up when I leave or not.
Furnace Guy came out and inspected the situation. I asked him if it was actually legal to pay my comfortably well-off slumlord the money for the furnace. Furnace Guy said not only is it perfectly legal, that also the landlord wouldn't have to pay a single penny toward any of the furnace or installation costs, and that the total cost would probably run around $1800 to the taxpayer. I told him that was awful and he agreed with me. He said that the mostly Republican Colorado State Legislature had written the laws to benefit landlords and real estate types as much or more than anything else.
I don't know if this is true or not, but Furnace Guy seemed quite bitter over it, and I don't blame him.
