The blame game, part II

So it turns out the landlord thinks all the things' breaking in our flat is our fault! As if we'd willingly go days without heat or hot water in the middle of winter, break our kitchen sink so that we can't get hot water (newest development) or take apart the sink in the bathroom just to annoy him. What the f***? He has threatened to "give notice" on us if one more thing breaks, and let me just say that as soon as he said that, two more things broke. It is infuriating and depressing to live in a place such as this, especially with a landlord such as he. We are determined to move but don't know if we can afford it.

As an aside, it turns out the fridge works much better now after being defrosted, but how was I supposed to know to do that? I have lived in one place in my entire life with a fridge that needed to be defrosted. I was there four months and it was defrosted right before I moved in so I never did it. Great advice from the man across the hall here to advise us to do that, but the landlord said, "How can you have lived this long and not know these things?"

So sorry that in our country we are more advanced and less cheap! And kinder and more understanding, helpful when things go wrong, to boot.
