<prompt> Human: I recently moved into a new townhome and just brought over my queen size boxspring. Its 2 years old and in great condition and originally cost me 500. The problem is My townhome has a staircase with a low ceiling just before a turn and there is no way to get it around. I checked and the ceiling is 3 inches below the minimum required by my local building codes.Is there anyway to recoup some of the costs of the boxspring from my landlord?My other options are to sell it and buy a split one or cut it and fold it to go up the stairs.Assistant: FWIW, You can unupholster the box spring, take out the supports that make it unbendable, take it up the stairs, and put it back together. My SO did this with our box spring, though he had upholstery experience. It will take a couple of hours, but its cheaper than a new one. Human: This is what Im looking at doing. Guess I was hoping for a sue your landlord for all hes worth response. That doesnt appear to be an option though  <response>: Thats a bad attitude to have. Its not his fault that you didnt think this through.
