And I don't get towed after a surgery, or after a (potential) snowfall at 8am, or need written and signed consent to have friends over (parking), or have to sign a release of use of likeness, or pay $5 for a load of laundry, or be not allowed to film/record in my apartment (if ANY public area is in the video, including outside the window), or not be allowed to have the "wrong color" curtains, or not be allowed to have anything on the deck/pattio (of my unit) etc. Etc. Etc.
