Lazy Landlord... I Mean SLUMLORD!

OK! wow this is going to be a special one, maybe typing something about it will get rid of my immense rage at my miserable excuse for a rectal itch of a landlord. frankly i'd rather drown a puppy than have to talk to the guy again.

My current landlord is the son of my old landlord. whether through simple aging, or planned takeover, the son is now running things. Well. My building is a three story brick building. its pretty old, but was well maintained until just recently.

The lights in the hallway are burning out. but they cant be replaced because they dont make that kind of lightbulb anymore. this idiot would rather spend months (11 of them to be exact, and counting) looking for replacements, than just spend 12 bucks and replace the fixture with one that isnt older than god.

the fire alarm system failed its test. the asshole waited till after the end of his alotted time to get the work done. months after.

the emergency hallway lighting doesnt work. learned that the hard way.

he is refusing to maintain access to ourt parking spots in winter, which is his job by law. and this summer, half the summer was gone before he bothered to get a new lawnmower. yeah thats right the grass was knee high.

THEN

He decided that the windows needed to be replaced. personally i dont care. the windows leak a lot of air but i plastic over some of them, and dont have a problem. SO the windows were supposed to be finished before the end of august. but it is now almost november and they are NOT done. ONE month ago, i received notice that the windows were going to be worked on, and was informed to move my furniture so that the windows were accessable. well. last week they finally came.... THREE WEEKS LATE.

lets explain the law. in order to do work in an apartment, 24 hours to 2 weeks notice must be given. in writing, the DAY or DAYS must be referenced, although time is not required.

so last week workers came into my apartment without notice while i was at work. i was a little pissed, especially since they didnt finish. then they came in twice more this week. without notice.

3 counts.

i called my landlord. i told him his workers had come into the apartment 3 times without giving notice. I said that im pretty easy going, but this is unacceptable. THATS MY HOME WHERE I LIVE.

What did he say to me? he told me that i should be grateful for the windows (never asked for them) and that he DID NOT have to give me notice. as well as other offensive things that i wont repeat or ill break something.

THEN he comes to my door that night and wants to come in to check the work. I SHOULD OF SAID NO! he's talking like a smart mouth, "oh, i know i dont have 24 hours notice in writing but maybe you can let me in ?" Then he pulls out my rental agreement and tries to blackmail me, saying if i want to play hardball, then we can play hardball, my fiance's name isnt on the rental agreement, so im in breach of my rental agreement. that clause is in the rental agreement so you dont add a room mate without permission. not have a partner

i mean for fucks sake, is the guy down the hall in breach of his agreement cause he just had a kid? FUCK YOU MISTER LANDASSHAT

Does anyone else feel the rage? well we'll just see about this. im making 3 complaints (one for each time) and im bringing up his attempt to fuck with me. we'll see who comes out of this ahead. and i can always take the appliances with me when i leave.



THE POINT OF THE RANT!!!

yes there was a point. sorta. your rights.... know them. dont give them an inch in the first place. and remember, just cause he's old, and almost out of life anyways, doesnt mean you'll get in less trouble if you slug him.... god do i want to slug him.
