First, do no harm.

If not, you can quit and walk away without any harm.

No doubt this thread has done much more harm than good for REI Reply.

Hi @Noah Harms are you a student at DU?

Meaning landlord does not have to fix them.4) Yes, you can usually do this if it states so in your lease.Many PMCs requiring tenants to put all nonemergency maintenance requests in writing and an emergency is defined as something that may cause bodily harm or damage to the property.

When you're dealing with the internet, there are just so many trolls and childish folks running around who will do their best to "harm" or hurt you in anyway they can when you do something as simple as disagree with them, or have a different view point from theirs. 

The options they gave us were 1) leave the panels in place but get no benefit and do no harm to them 2) purchase the panels (we were quoted the full retail price which is ridiculous) 3) sign a new agreement IF AND WHEN we wanted to.

That happens to be true, but the real problem is that it introduces artificial inefficiencies in the market that end up severely harming the people that it's allegedly supposed to help.

If what is there when they give you property back is good, no harm no foul.In the future, your lease should strictly prohibit animals that are not on the lease (which should already be in your lease).
