Well, tell that to your landlord, &c. I'm sure they'd have a different point of view.

Landlords don't care but the neighbors and the city might

Lots of people don't like landlords :)

It isn't exactly clear but it seems this person has violated terms of his lease. So I'm not sure what is the issue here. Is he looking for sympathy? Or just warning others to look at their lease agreement before starting down this path?

This is ideal if you're a landlord, but hell if you're a tenant.

That would piss me off even as a renter.

Don't overthink it: it's a liability issue in a shared living space, all morality aside.

I think the Landlord would feel left out if so.

Sounds like the landlord problem.

Getting it cleaned by somebody who won't steal your stuff is a challenge. They can just say that it was taken by the renter.
