I wonder: can I ask my rental agency to reimburse me for all the frozen food I’ll be throwing away because I was without electrical power for about nineteen hours? The milk and eggs were on their way out anyway (the former’s sell-by date, for instance, is tomorrow), but last week I did about twice as much grocery shopping as I normally do and, for the first time, actually filled my freezer. I don’t like the idea of paying to do that all over again (minus those dreadful frozen fried clams, of course), but I also don’t want to play “Guess Which Refrozen Package is Still Safe to Eat”. At ten o’clock last night, the freezer was cold, but not icy, and I’m not sure if anything had ice crystals in it still (which is how they say to check if it’s safe). I only know that the ice cream was melted earlier in the evening. If I write up a list and show my landlord the receipt, do you think I can get a discount on next month’s rent?
