The oil doesn't necessarily just make a problem for your landlord. Fat/oil can clog sewers way down the line, causing problems for entire neighborhoods over time and requiring costly maintenance, which increases the costs of sewer service for everyone

[–] kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 58 points 6 days ago (2 children)

And even if it creates a problem for your landlord only, it is you, who is going to pay for it, anyway. They will not just eat the loss - why would they? - they will increase the rent even more, than they would otherwise, to cover the costs.

[–] kevinsky@feddit.nl 36 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

The whole idea of willingly causing damage somewhere and somehow not being held accountable for it because it's not your property is wild.

If you have your landlord send a plumber to declog a drain clogged by a bunch of grease or wet wipes or some other garbage that shouldn't go down the drain there's no way you won't get the bill for that where I live.

There's renters protection but not against your own acts of misuse.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 18 points 6 days ago

It also means that if the home is ever put back onto the market and purchased by a family instead of a landlord, that person will end up dealing with the issue years down the line. It's just overall kind of an edgy, poorly thought out idea.

Common misconception. If they could raise prices more over time, they already would. Costs are irrelevant.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

So it will affect multiple landlords? 😈

I got an email like two weeks ago that there had been an increase on car break-ins recently

Then when it came time to re-sign they decided to increase rent

I'm just gonna say that where I live, it's a criminal offense to pour oil down the drain.

You're not just affecting your landlord. You're affecting your entire neighbourhood.

[–] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Add enough lye and it's non longer oil. Pouring soap down the drain isn't illegal, is it?

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

I didn't say pouring soap down is illegal, did I?

Don't forget "flushable" wipes

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Everything is flushable as long as it's small enough to fit in the hole

Very very bad for the water cleaning system (depurator?)

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (3 children)

That effects everyone downstream. If you must dispose of grease without a grease trap but you don't want to deal with like a trash bag situation: pour it into a disposable container and throw it in the trash.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

If it's something like bacon grease you can just wait for it to congeal and then scooped it into trash and wipe with a paper towel.

Pissing in the sink! Classic move

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

It's better to piss in the sink than to sink in the piss

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

These are all benefits of owning though. Youre gonna pay for damages when renting.

[–] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you've ever had to buy and sell a house, it's a real pain in the ass. If you're not really sure about a city yet, renting for a year makes more sense than buying, especially if you're sure you want to stay longer than a hotel would make sense

Ummm that's the only situation I can think of where it's not just the picture on the right

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Also if you have no intention of staying in the city at all. If I take a 12 week contract it would be ridiculous to stay in a hotel for all 3 months.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe depends on the contact. I've seen travel contracts for healthcare where they'll sometimes put you in a hotel and cover the cost.

The benefit of renting is that when shit breaks, maintenance fixes it so that you don't have to muddle your way through trying to replace the oven or some shit. Also you don't have to do yard work. A good landlord is one who understand that his job is to provide housing and maintain the property, and not sit on his ass collecting passive income/hoarding wealth.

You can also up stakes and leave if something goes horribly wrong, and not repeatedly rebuild your house because of natural disasters or be stuck living next to the worst neighbor in history because you still owe $200k on the dirt you're anchored to.

There's no plausible deniability with oil down the drain. The landlord would just bill you for the damage.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (9 children)

Stop treating your home like an investment. Can only end badly

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If only this were true we probably wouldn't have a housing supply crisis.

Jokes aside. What do you do with the oil?

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 17 points 6 days ago (3 children)
[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Apply directly to the forehead.

Throw it in the trash.

People talk about recycling and that makes a difference for restaurants, but at home quantities? Just put it in the trash.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Dump it in a 5l canister that I call my 'waste oil' canister. When its full, I take it to the recycling plant whenever I'm going there anyway.
