We just didn’t use a filter at all in our last rental. I know it’s bad for the ducts, but the landlord was an asshole, and I wasn’t about to spend my money to protect their investment.
There’s potentially a rule against it depending on who you rent from (idk w/ my current landlord corporation, would have to ask) and if they’re feeling particularly vindictive they could try to use evidence of your “unauthorized repairs” to withhold security deposit.
ymmv depending on how sneakily you can replace an air filter
Nice. Thanks for the information. I’ll just keep using HEPA filters then. Speaking of which, it’s time to buy a new one. QQ
it feels like it’s ALWAYS time to replace the dsng filter
and i rent so i have to email a management company repeatedly to get it replaced 😭

good. fuck 'em. if i ever got desperate enough to replace one in my unit i’d keep the old one and put it back when i moved out lmao
Why can’t you just replace it yourself?
