I can confirm that the vast majority of UPS's are garbage. I happily pay more to source Eaton whenever I can.

>I assume the government refunds the homeowner's property taxes and reimburses for costs like appliances, repairs, landscaping, etc. when the time comes for them to sell? So you think your landlord is eating those costs and not pass
