I help my landlord with a lot of things around the house & he’s deducted money from my rent as a result. But now he keeps asking me to do more things but I’m so burnt out from work & school. How do I nicely tell him I don’t want to

It’s okay to say no, your time and energy is valuable. You’re a tenant, not a maid.
