I don't forget what it's like to be 15, because I had a great childhood, but I also grew up and started doing crazy things like moving out, renting a home, etc, and if your landlord requires you to download WhatsApp, or any other app to communicate, you do it. Otherwise you'll find yourself on the street, messaging yourself on Signal lmao.
My landlord told me to download WhatsApp and I just said "nah I use email". Super easy cleared up in 5 seconds.
That's awesome. Sounds like you already had a lease signed. Now try that again when you're one of the 60 others applying to the house.
They'll rip up your lease on the spot for being difficult.
Nah I didn't. Have had it for jobs and stuff too. People are usually willing to do email if you ask.
