Ha ha … That reminds me of when I rented a apt in the back of a couples house . I had access to my door from a back ally. I was responsible for all my costs except the water bill . I was allowed to use a few square yards of lawn for what ever I wanted.. I was growing GIANT MARIGOLDS . I had the seeds from Burpee. Oh! This was many years ago

And water bills were like 18 dollars a month.
One day the owner sees me water the flowers .. I had nice huge blooms. I was proud of these flowers... They keep bugs away and all of them grew really good . Long story short “She” began telling me I was using many gallons of water to keep my flowers growing . My instant offer was just add to my bill the entire cost of the water. Problem solved.. Then my girlfriend was over we were yaking on the back porch. Drinking some type of drink when we were confronted by “the water guard” SHE the water guard said I was not supposed to be sharing my apt with anyone else ! That she ( my girl friend ) had to go !
I had a 12 month lease ! Was in my 4th or 5th month .. My girl friend wasn’t going any where ! Every every other day I heard about my reckless water habit and my fornication with “that “ woman … So what did I do ? I got me a 25 foot hose and a sprinkler and watered my flowers and part of the ally
ha ha . I even told “the water guard” I was conserving water by showering with my girlfriend so running the sprinkler was OK. I was in charge because I had a lease .. AND YES I moved away because my flowers were being pulled up or stepped on

So my advice PAC IT UP AND MOVE
