(39,939 posts)People get evicted for loud stereos, blocking the walkway, pets where not allowed, all kinds of things that might seem kind of trivial to you but that the landlords have learned will cause big trouble if not dealt with strictly.
People who own or manage buildings generally have contracts for tenants to sign that have real legal teeth. In any disagreement between you and a landlord, bet on the landlord. It's just a fact of life you have to learn to live with. Don't be a dick to your landlord, or you'll have learn to live in the red light district where no tenant applicants are rejected and non-refundable rent deposits are through the roof.
Dorms may be a bit more relaxed than apartments, but people who get kicked out of dorms face a rude awakening when they start dealing with leases and landlords ("You got kicked out of your last apartment, so your application was rejected. No, you don't get your application fee back." , so it's best to live within dorm rules.
PS: I will never eat dinner at your house, no matter how grand or how freely offered, or how hungry I might be. If you think freshly killed animals are "clean", I hope for your family's sake that you keep your life insurance paid up.
BTW, inspection of factory meat is done because cows are brought in with all manner of diseases and parasites, and no small amount of shit clinging to them. Not every cow that enters a slaughter house does so under its own power, or even still breathing. (Yeah, it's illegal -- but if the inspector looks away ...)
