When your Landlord wants a reason for a surprise inspection.....

I agree with lonly on the type of filter to use, but if the landlord is supplying them and you do not experience air quality issues, let him keep buying.

I lived in a city/town for 8 years during and immediately after (and 4 years in college) and much prefer living in the country. I survived the towns, but growing up on a farm let me know what I was missing. I plan to stay where I am for as long as I can.

Good for you, I would use a next grade up on the filter one that is fanfolded, pleated like, better filtration and more surface area so less restriction...

Good to see you out on the other side.

I dont have any animals, OH, yes, i do I have a heard of kids two legged ones, i change out mine each month...

I got a phone call from my landlord yesterday, he wanted to schedule a time to come switch out my furnace filters.

I immediately assumed he was looking for a reason to come on in and take a peek at the place without making it look SUPER obvious. New renter.... Recent canine addition.... Cat....

Yah....

They don't know me at all. They have no idea I'm a clean freak, even with the animals.

"I changed my filter out earlier this week and it was just horrible. I couldn't believe my eyes."

He was slowly removing my furnace filter and asking me how I was liking the house.

"I love the house. After living in town for so long, it's been really nice to be out here... Experiencing the wildlife. Um..... Are you sure the filter needs to be changed?"

He just stood there for a moment, scrutinizing the filter, then set it on the floor.

"Are you using the furnace?"

At that precise moment, the furnace kicked on.

"Yep."

He slid the new filter in and turned to look at me. I could see him glancing around the place, smiling a little.

Whatever concerns he'd had that brought him over were put to rest. I live to rent another day.

Happy Sunday!
