The landlord who argued with me about a 40 year old breaker panel

Last month I was replacing outlets in a rental off Central Ave and the owner showed up to question why I wanted to swap the whole panel. He said it worked fine for decades and I was just padding the bill. I showed him where the bus bar was charred and the main lug was loose enough to wiggle with my fingers, then he went quiet. I get that people hate big costs, but that thing was a fire waiting on a bad winter morning. Has anyone else had to talk a property owner out of keeping dangerous old gear just to save a few hundred bucks?
