When I lived in NYC, one of my apartments had a tipping option on the website
It's called Key Money but in some places like Japan it's essentially a gratuity (in the US and other places it's just a refundable security deposit)
A what now
Touché
Wow. Either someone was too lazy to turn of the default settings, or figured it was appropriate to ask. Either way, that's some shocking lack-of-awareness going on.
Hollow tip are best, they spall inside the landlord and are less likely to exit out the back and damage anything of value.
Landlord: You shot me!
Tennant: Yup. Take a look. At least I didn't fuck up the paint or the carpet.
Took me a second, only heard of them as hollow points lol.
