Tenant charged to flush his own toilet
Certain things in life should be free, like flushing the toilet. But what happens when you decide to rent the house of someone who is unreasonable and greedy?! You are forced to pay for the most ridiculous things like flushing the toilet!
A tenant took to Reddit to complain after claiming his landlord charges him for using the toilet. "Is it legal for my landlord to have installed a dollar coin operated flusher on my toilet?" he wrote. "I'm in Melbourne, Thornbury. I understand in our laundry having to pay for the communal washing machine. But I pay the water bill that goes into my apartment. He said it was a government incentive to save water. But then why does he get to collect the money? I see nothing on google about this so I can't work out if I'm being duped?" he added.
As expected, the post soon went viral, with many respondents saying it is illegal and even going as far as offering the tenant advice. "Until you get this sorted, consider flushing with a bucket. Works just as well," one Reddit user wrote.
While one Imgur user suggested he "just keep shitting in it until it overflows then call the landlord and tell him it's broken".
