So my family rent half of an old remodeled home that’s been broken into two units by our leech. City recently did some inspections and had a laundry list of things to fix, most of which was directed at the leech but they told us we can’t use the three-to-two prong adapters we’ve been using since we moved here to plug in all of our modern electronics.

The maintenance guy told us they would install gfci outlets and asked how many we wanted, but that never ended up happening. I’m probably gonna try to ask the landlord directly but given our interactions so far I’m not optimistic. So I need a backup plan if he takes the easy route and risks our health and the potential to burn the place down to save a few hundred dollars of the rent I pay him.

Obviously I can just not be using them when the city comes back but in the long run I know it’s not safe for my family, but I also can’t force the leech to make the place safe for my child. Is there something safer than an adapter we could use once this passes? We can’t really give up all of our three pronged electronics and it would still not solve the safety issue if we did.
