“The ‘mattress’ at my rental apartment.”
“The iron at my rental I just checked into. Have to leave for a wedding in 45 minutes, so will probably be wrinkly.”
“None of the kitchen cabinets in our rental fully close.”
“The 6 air ‘fresheners’ I was able to find in our rental. I know there’s more I can’t find. When I opened the door the smell almost gagged me.”

“I tried opening the vent for some a/c at the rental I’m staying at on vacation. It seems that the wife and I are victims of the good ol’ landlord special.”
“I want a refund for this rental.”
