The overall style of the house has not changed much after maintenance, but the details such as wiring, pipes, waterproofing, rust-proofing, and switches are all brand new.
Things like Luke helping Max fix the bathroom pipes in the middle of the night will never happen again.
Other things like tiles and switches that had been held together with tape to prevent them from falling off, and doors and windows that either couldn't be closed tightly or opened, were all turned into new ones.
Most importantly, the rent has not changed.
This is equivalent to the landlord taking the initiative to pay a maintenance fee, which is legal, but indeed unreasonable.
However, the original landlord entrusted a professional property management company to collect rent, so there was no need to notify Max and the others about the change of landlord.
For maintenance matters, as long as the landlord and tenant have no objection, just tell the management company.
However, most of the time, it is the tenants who force the management company to contact the landlord for maintenance. It is indeed rare for a landlord to take the initiative to maintain the house.
Of course Luke didn't care as he listened to Max mocking his former landlord for being an idiot.
Anyway, it's the former landlord who gets scolded, and it's normal to be scolded for being stingy.
As the former landlord who received a very high premium from Luke, why wouldn't he be unhappy to be scolded
In the New York battle two months ago, Williamsburg was not affected much, and Max was not hurt at all.
They were living a good life, and Luke had no intention of intervening to make them rich.
It is easier to maintain the mentality of slowly getting rich than of becoming rich nouveau riche.
Besides, neither of the two women are stupid, and this is already a bit too much.
Fortunately, they only had a vague feeling, so Luke asked them half-seriously, "Am I that kind of fool?" and fooled them.
Lu doesn't care about scolding himself.
The so-called maintenance, but in fact the renovation, has greatly improved the safety of the house. This is one of the reasons.
Second, he is the one who is ultimately using these "maintenance".
He enjoyed the renovated room, and a brand new bathroom was a necessity.
Doesn’t Max’s bath water smell good
Ahem, Luke collected his scattered thoughts and smiled at a horse head that came in from the side door: "Libao, you're not sleeping in the middle of the night, and you want to eat carrots again?"
The horse snorted softly and stretched out its big tongue to lick him.
This is Caroline's horse, the only luxury left by this former rich lady.
Of course it is old and worthless, but it costs money to take care of it.
Luke was quick to avoid the attack from the big tongue: "No, you are awesome. I'll get you a carrot."
Pinning a carrot outside the door attracted Li Bao's attention. He suddenly changed his expression and walked out, closing the side door.
He took two trot steps and jumped up lightly. He pulled and pushed the two-meter-high iron railing with both hands, then flipped out and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
On a small street, a woman was confronting five men.
The five men all have the typical temperament of gangsters - mainly the temperament of being poor and full of the smell of poverty.
The blonde woman opposite them was dressed formally and elegantly, but the slightly tight red professional suit made her look even sexier.
It was said to be a one on five fight, but in reality there were only four thugs standing, and one thug was kneeling on the ground screaming: "Eyes, my eyes. You bitch, I'm going to kill you, ah ah."
Tracy held the bag in front of her with one hand and put the pepper spray behind the bag with the other hand to prevent the thugs on the opposite side from seeing the movement of her hand.
This is the only way to maximize the threat of the pepper spray.
She was also secretly cursing her bad luck in her heart.
It was just an ordinary overtime job, no different from usual, but the only unexpected thing was that the car suddenly stalled and had to be parked in this block.
The security in this neighborhood was not very good in the past, and it became even worse after the Battle of New York.
However, the number of armed violent crimes has not increased. All the gangsters in New York have been traumatized by the beatings by Batman and Catwoman.
They would rather rob and run than threaten the victim with weapons.
Because according to statistics from private conversations among gang members, people who do this rarely go to the orthopedics department, and at most they occasionally faint on the street.
One or two is fine, but after it happens many times, the gangsters will guess what is going on.
As long as there is no violent injury, Batman and Catwoman are too lazy to break their bones.
In other words, violent injury is the dividing line.
If you exceed this level and get caught by Batman and his men, you will start to suffer broken bones and may even become disabled.
But Batman and Catwoman disappeared after the battle in New York.
The chaos caused by the war and the two months of time made many gangsters ready to make moves.
According to police data, incidents of violent robbery and break-in are increasing rapidly.
For example, these five gangsters tonight accidentally saw the woman's brand-name bags and car, and immediately became interested in her.
He robbed the money and ran away, and after clearing the account, he got at least a few hundred dollars.
Many of my companions have done this recently and have not been hospitalized.
You can't blame them for not being particular; life in New York is just too difficult these days.
The price of illegal drugs in Manhattan has now risen to more than ten times its original price, but local distributors are collectively declaring that supply is in short supply.
Is this still the largest city in the United States
If we can’t get the goods, it’s like starving next to a mountain of gold.
The gangsters can only resort to petty theft and robbery to barely make ends meet.
Of course, it is impossible for me to work. I will never work in this life.
Even though reconstruction work is gradually starting in New York, there are plenty of brick-moving jobs and the salaries are not low, but the punks who are used to being idle don't want to go through that hardship.
Unfortunately, during the robbery tonight, they met a serious woman.
Faced with the robbery by a large number of people, she did not stand there trembling in fear. Instead, when the first thug made a move, she immediately taught him a lesson with the spray she had prepared.
At this moment, both sides are in a difficult situation.
Although Tracy was not wearing high heels, she was wearing mid-heels and a skirt suit, which was not suitable for a running race with the gangsters.
The gangsters knelt down one after another, shouting for revenge.
There were still four of them intact, and the opponent was just an ordinary woman, so no one was too embarrassed to say forget it.
The four thugs finally pulled up their clothes, covered their faces to prevent the spray attack, and then approached Tracy collectively.
At this moment, a black figure fell from the sky, and as it approached the ground, a huge shadow expanded behind it.
The black figure slowed down suddenly, and the huge shadow turned into a soft cloak again. With a thud, the person landed between the gangster and Tracy.
Looking at the dark figure approaching, the familiar black cape and the two small pointed ears on the helmet, Tracy almost subconsciously exclaimed: "Batman!"
The four thugs opposite stopped at the same time. Their hands, shaking like chicken claws, could no longer hold up the clothes covering their faces. Their lips opened and closed like fish out of water, but no sound came out.
In front of them was "that adult" who was exactly the same as in the legend.
