Re: OOC # 37

Admiral Hack:
..you should have a log of everything you fixed or replaced  over the years, and Hand them to the owner  next time you see them!


I long ago lost track of stuff that I'd fixed...built-in drawers that were falling apart, almost all of the kitchen cabinets had bottoms that were sagging (that's what happens when you use 1/4" wood paneling for the bottom shelf and then someone stores plates or canned goods in it or something like that)...replaced the screens on the front and back storm doors...

Last time I had a major fix done (replaced the valves on the tub faucet because it was leaking so much water that it was probably losing 5 gal/day in water going straight down the drain), I just put the receipt in the envelope for my rent payment, with a check for the difference between what I paid for the repair and what I owed for the rent.  Never heard a word back about it.

While I think the owners or managers might take exception to something like that being done unilaterally, I also don't do it often.  And I've been there for twenty years, and with the exception of a few months back in 2008, I've paid my rent in full and on time pretty much every month, and the months that I don't get it in on time, I don't have to be prompted to include the late fee. So they cut me a lot of slack.  At this point, I could probably get a cat or dog and they wouldn't care much (especially since they're pretty much guaranteed to be renovating the whole apartment when I finally move out, anyway...when I moved in, the then-owners had been living in that particular unit for a few years, before they bought a house.  They'd renovated all of the other units, leaving theirs until last...and then, when they moved out and were planning to renovate it, someone needed an apartment right away and moved in before they could do any serious renovations.  When she moved out, they were going to renovate...but I needed a place right away, so there was never time to do the renovations...so I started at least one serious renovation behind everyone else in the fourplex.  And all of the other units have been renovated at least once since I moved in, some of them twice.  Granted, the renovations have mostly been small, but I know the unit next to mine got rid of the linoleum bathroom floor and had tile put in, so some of them have been significant, and I think the one two doors down from me had to get new carpet after the last occupant moved out, but I'm not positive...)

But me moving out would mean they'd have to dump a bunch of money into fixing the apartment up so they could rent it out...even though they'd be making more money on it because they could raise the rent (I think I'm also significantly cheaper rent than the other units, because of the disparity in overall condition...)  Since I've shown no inclination to relocate, and I'm still paying rent on the regular and they never get complaints about me being too loud, or the police having to come check up on me, or anything like that, they've kind of been turning a blind eye to my tendency to ignore some aspects of my rental agreement (like not having stuff around the property...I have a stack of projects against the back wall of my apartment, but I also keep my snowblower there, and since they don't have to worry about snow removal as a result, they only point it out to me maybe once every three years or so..)

Re: OOC # 37

The first landlord was pretty cool, aside from promising to fix a bunch of stuff that they never got around to...even helped me move in, which was great, because I was under the gun time-wise and didn't really know anyone in town to ask for help.  They (he and his wife) were also very understanding if I had issues with getting rent to them on time because of payday schedules and such.  He sold to...his father-in-law, I think?  Never saw the guy.  The only 'new' landlord that didn't make me sign a new rental contract.

The guy he sold to, I also never saw (to the best of my knowledge, anyway), although for a couple of years, the apartment manager was living in the unit next to mine and he was awesome.  For instance, I mentioned one day that my water heater was doing a terrible job of keeping up...I'd have about ten minutes of hot water and then it was drained...that's okay for washing dishes but it's terrible for trying to take a warm shower in the wintertime.  Three days later, some guys showed up with a brand new water heater.  He also turned a blind eye to the fact that I had a bird (we had, as I remember it, a pretty strict no-pets policy in the contract...but since the new landlord never gave me my copy of the contract, I couldn't reference it to say that I knew about it...) and the couple of times that the landlord asked him to inspect the units, he came over, did a quick walk-through of mine to satisfy himself that I wasn't punching holes in the wall or letting soot build up over the stove or something like that, and was out again in, like, two minutes.  He also ran interference for me when I got a few months behind on my rent because the economy tanked in 2008 and the park abruptly informed me that I didn't have a job from the middle of December until the first of March and I hadn't yet built up enough freelance work to cover the bills for that period...(I don't miss those days!)  But I never saw that guy (the landlord).

Haven't ever seen the current landlord, either, and have only seen the property manager a handful of times.  When we filled out the new contracts, we were also supposed to submit paperwork so they could do a credit-check on us...I misplaced the paperwork and they have still never run a credit check on me, and that was...six? years ago...somewhere in there...  The one time they've asked to inspect my apartment was when they had the property appraised (which was when I pointed out that the roof had been leaking, because the paint had started to crack and peel on my living room ceiling...)  I've seen the property manager when he stopped by to inform me that there was a new owner, and give me the information about where rent checks should be mailed and inform me my rent was going up (but not massively), a couple of times when he told me that I needed to get rid of the car I was no longer driving, and a couple of times when he asked me to remove extra stuff (a folding table and a couple of big 55gal paper barrels) from the front of the building (and to please clean up the stuff in the back, as well, but that wasn't as big an issue).  And I think I saw him in passing a few times when he was there to fix the sprinklers or stuff like that.  Less than once a year...

So it seems like it's a "you're not making trouble for me so I won't make trouble for you" kind of relationship, really, and not even with the landlord.  I have no idea how the landlord feels about me, actually, aside from the fact that the property manager is apparently feeling zero pressure to engage with me about anything.

Re: OOC # 37

  Not  knowing who the landlord is, can be a problem. But at least there was a property manager. My sone had lived a street away from me when  the house he was 'renting to own' caught  fire.

 Fire guys checked the house  and  were appalled that the house  was the way it  was ( a few years before, people who rented there were being evicted  and they took all the copper  wiring and pipes!)

 so , who ever  fixed it ,jury rigged everything and never had it inspected. The furnace guys around here,. knew me from Mailman and Coach kids.. he came out  and had to put the furnace together..he did it for free because   my son was  still active Navy then.

 anyway.. My son tried to contact the land lord, they weren't even in the same state!..so? when they move doubt..we had   out Mayor  come  and say we had to clean  stuff up , up there. and we said no...My son called the Codes chick and she said 'its not your house, its not your problem".

so? the Brough  has to try and get ahold of the landlord..don't know if they ever did.

Again? at least you  know the  property Manager. so you have some one to go to.

For that matter, there are a multitude of customs in different human societies.

For example, the UK does not have the habit of demanding that the bridal pair kiss by tapping on their drinking glasses.

Re: OOC # 37

OMG I need to vent!!! This week has sucked sooooo much to where I actually had a break down on Friday morning!! I was pretty much being tortured by this guy who just wouldn't stop...

I have misophonia...the sound of chewing or lip smacking brings out such a rage in me...and this guy at work kept doing it purposefully towards me even when I asked him several times to stop...and him being the ass that he is kept doing it just to see how far he could push it...

I have been pretty much exhausted mentally just trying to keep from beating the shit out of this guy...

And being from the UK I did not know this, though admittedly I only really have my brothers wedding to go by, and I was exceedingly ill at the time.

Re: OOC # 37

Hi all.  sorry I had to be away for a bit.  I had a bad bout of depression and malaise.  not suicidal but I was having some trouble coping with life and family issues.  part of me says 'jump back in', but not sure what's going on as I left off going to the Ball.  got into an argument with my sister, a friend, and had a long time friend pass on.  all which weighed a lot on me.  so my apologies all around.  I did go to my doctor and he switched my medication around and recommended I chill and not push it.  so...tomorrow I am gonna read a bit and perhaps make some posts.  The stroke is still affecting me, but hand swelling is going down...so finger bending is getting easier.  also....it's getting colder now (not that it really got warm this year, lol).  if anyone can give me or Jug a few highlight I'd appreciate it.
