Re: Do I have recourse (landlord BS)
Basically your recourse is going to be the same as with most landlord/tenant disputes.
Bitch and moan.
"The agent, acting on your behalf, made it clear that snow removal was part of the deal and I made it clear that me paying rent was part of the deal. Now if the first part of the deal isn't held up, I don't see why I should hold up my end of the bargain. If there is a problem with this, or if the agent misrepresented things, than you can feel free to take it up with him or we can work out a rent deduction and I'll take care of the snow removal."
Similar thing happened to my parents. They rent half a duplex with a huge backyard and the landlord was supposed to do the upkeep, but never did. Eventually, she just started paying my dad per month to take care of it. Basically ended up being a rent reduction in exchange for snow shoveling and lawn mowing.
