I’m infuriated that we have to pay for a service to come by every week and put the bins out, then move them back in. If these residents and tenants lived in a house, they would be putting out their own bins. When did apartment-dwellers get the idea that they are living in some kind of hotel situation? I was staying in an apartment recently in Utrecht and there was a cleaning roster for common areas with a list of what needed to be done. This kept strata costs down and presumably anyone who didn’t want to take their turn could hire a cleaner at their own expense. I grit my teeth when tenants complain about rental costs while walking past the cleaners, gardeners and bin-service people who are working for them.
