Corroded neutral wire. I feel like I'm about to learn something.
The electrician took care of it in like an hour, but as far as I could tell it was just a big fat wire in the circuit breaker that sometimes rots away and then the voltage into your house is no longer really controlled or some other kind of electric wizardry. It was cheap to fix, anyway, that's what I was relieved about, and no problems for the 7-8 years since the fix.
I'm happy to not have a slothful middleman between me and my comfort.
All depends on the landlord. Mine happens to be a young professional couple with their first rental property. In an area that's not easy to rent out. They treat me like royalty.
Also, I have no issue with doing cheap generic maintenance. I'm just happy to not be worried about paying for new roofs or furnaces.
