Imagine living in a rental property where there is a fence around the backyard. If there were holes in the fence, would you want the holes fixed, or would you think it wasn’t really a big deal?

In this story, one woman is in this situation, and she thinks the holes are a very big deal. She is especially concerned because animals keep getting into the backyard through the fence.

Won’t fix hole to keep strays away? I’ll feed them

My landlord (LL) is a cheap jerk, and won’t fix things when he says he would.

Also, LLs brother lives on the property and dislikes animal.

We have a few holes in the backyard fence that have been there since I moved in about a year ago.

There have been stray cats, they can also jump the fence idc, and had 2 stray pups come through.

The landlord didn’t care.

I told my LL about this and he just shrugged it off.

I even offered to rebuild the fence if he got the materials needed.

He laughed in my face because “women can put up fences and do manual labor?”

She came up with another plan.

Anyway, I decided to start feeding the one momma cat and her kittens that chill in the backyard.

And lo and behold one of the fence holes has been patched by the LLs brother.

I’ll keep feeding the animals until the other hole is fixed though.

That was a clever solution! If the landlord won’t fix it, annoy the landlord’s  brother until he fixes it.

Those cats need a home!
