Mannnn, they just had refrigerators on sale at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago, for 299.99. I think it was refrigerators.

And make the landlord come get his freakin property if it belongs to him. At least if you buy your own you can take it with you when you leave. But make sure you keep your reciepts for anything like that you buy.

I'd also check your state laws on renting. Those leases are not always legal, the arses just try to bully you into thinking they are. You ought to be able to check the laws online.
