I just had a tenant ask about changing a burnt-out light bulb...

Really.  Can't make this up.  I had to coach him through changing it over the phone because the closets have linear fluorescents, and he didn't know what to do.

I'm focusing on the day job now, but I had to share.  (Keep in mind that I rent to college students.  They're babies, even though they're all in STEM....)

Yes, my lease agreement specifically states they are responsible for certain "maintenance" tasks like changing light bulbs, batteries in remotes, etc. I once had a guy call because his garbage disposal stopped working. I told him to try pushing the reset button on the bottom of the disposal and he said, "Are you kidding me? I pay rent so I don't have to do stuff like that!" We've gotten to the point where pushing a button is too much work for some people.
