oh trust me, that is a bad idea ! on every rent bill (quittance) he writes "rent is due between the 1st and the 5th of the month" and he underlines it
by hand with red ink.
the only thing this jackal cares about is money. if the check arrives 2 days late, he calls me at home to yell "where's my check ????" (and our conversations always go really badly.) i live in fear that he'll find some (probably illegal) pretext to throw me out, so he can charge double what i pay him to the next tenant... and paying rent late could be just the thing he's waiting for !

I wish I could be there to help you Z. It would take me 20 mins. to fix that.
What worries me is that there must be some other entrance for all that water, it can't have come through one tiny 10cm gap.

i wish you could too.
i'm not sure i'm very good at do-it-yourself. but we shall see... i did just change the flexible tube on my shower, because i dropped it and would you believe, the end which screws to the shower head shattered !!
then, when i took the pliers to unscrew the other end, that part shattered too !!! i know, it's only a question of screwing two ends on, so it's really not complicated, but i am proud to say i managed it with no trouble and it doesn't even leak.
as for where all the water came from... i really don't know, but it is true that it was pouring down rain like i've never seen. anyway, i put some tape over the outside where the putty should be just in case, in hopes that if it starts to pour again during the night (i hope not... but it is currently raining) at least it will divert the water back down and keep it outside...
