I'm thinking about trying to get out of rent payments.
Why would you try to get out of paying the rent?
Because I hate paying rent, it's so much money.
It sucks to have to pay rent each month, but it's your responsibility to do so. We're all expected to pay our bills and pay them on time, otherwise the people who are owed money will suffer. Moreover, if you don't pay your bills you make it in legal trouble.
Maybe I'll just bake them some sweets instead.
I do not think that this is going to help them. I think that you should just pay your bills. That is the responsible thing to do.
