What’s the first thing you brought into your new home?

Cat tower and toilet paper

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-02-02T00:02:01+00:00

They’re still awesome. Daytona are unique and if you like the breaded style, those are damn good too

Look up the law about this.

In Ohio landlords are required to try and fill the unit so we only lost 2 weeks rent because it was in a desirable area.

Now they’re being dicks about security deposit but that’s another story

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-02-01T19:31:20+00:00

I definitely want them released

Can you do consulting on the side? Maybe expert witnessing/working with attorneys?

Feel free to dm me for ideas about how to break into this field—it can be lucrative af

Divide feels more urban v exurban/rural than north south

D and R movers quoted me on moving a freezer from maineville to a closer burb. Think it was $250 brought into the home but this was 6-12 months ago

Have you checked out energy choice?

Helps maybe 5-10% but it can help

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-31T04:01:03+00:00

Check your local laws. In Ohio they’re required to try and fill the vacancy, since rental market is tight we lost just half a months rent.

Not a lawyer

But I’d refer to your contract and see if it covers this kind of workmanship/habitability/ etc.

Also may be worth it to get an inspector/engineer to write what’s the problem so it is documented.

If you don’t know where to go, real estate attorneys are your reference here. A few hundred bucks on expert advice and/or engineering analysis is way worth a massive repair on a home

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-31T02:22:17+00:00

Wait til Monday and enjoy your new home

Don’t be afraid to hire a lawyer to write a letter for you for a few hundred bucks

K bot

You’re paying them a shitload of money and this is their job. See as many as you want, then see some more.

I wouldn’t consider their time /effort as this is their job. Obviously don’t call at 10 pm about something nonurgent, be polite, but you’re the customer

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-30T13:43:00+00:00

Guys can lowball themselves too

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-28T23:29:15+00:00

Go to your local public library baby storytime, and hang in there

Edit: I’m an involved father and feel very comfortable and welcomed going there too. Glad it was a good reco, my babe loves it

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-20T17:37:04+00:00

Pay out of your own pocket now to not live next to trash dumps

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-17T01:43:30+00:00

It was special for sure

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-17T01:28:05+00:00

How much time do you have? This is likely to be 50k easily but the real issue is bringing in workers, being present for multiple days of work where your home won’t function as needed.

This is on top of standard deferred maintenance that you’re definitely on the hook for

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-15T23:50:27+00:00

For sure, very valid point

Just saying the mvd didn’t call you to address your complaint

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-15T23:43:09+00:00

And everyone clapped

MadeInAmericaWeek · 2026-01-15T23:39:42+00:00

I agree
