What a pain in the arsssss!
Had my relaxation time cut into last night cause the refrigerator repair dude was SUPPOSED to be here at 8 this morning :shock:

So I get off to bed nice and early, right around 2:30 or so, up by 7:30, 8 am comes and goes, no repair dude. Call service company, repair dude is broke down on side of road, I guess his phone is also broke :roll:

Did you offer to go get his dead a*s and bring him to your house ( you know so there would be no down time?)
I do wonder though........do Sears work on their own service trucks ??
Remember the wheels they left the lug nuts loose on that one lift we did and took to them :roll:

I offered nothing other than a chuckle!
Sears outsources their service now to a company called A&E Appliance Repair. They're traveling baboons :banghead:

Sears has taken a MAJOR dump since Kmart got involved or however the two got messed up :banghead:

By the way, what ever happened to Pote ????????
:POPCORN:

I've found that there are only two ways to deal with women.

Unfortunately, neither of them work...

Well I got my security deposit back from the apartment.

$9. LOL

Actually it's my fault because I never submitted a move-in condition form so I'm not even going to attempt to contest it. I have no grounds or proof. I didn't take any pics of move-in or move-out. Dumb, I know. Lesson learned...

I got billed for the following:

2 cigarette burns in carpet $40
Adhesive wall damage $35
Bleach stain in bedroom carpet $15

I moved in with the carpet burns. They did NOT replace the carpet when I moved in, they just cleaned it.

I don't use bleach. Yup, that was there too...

Now the adhesive wall damage was all me. Here's the thing though, I mounted stuff to the wall with adhesive at my last apartment. They didn't have a problem with it. They said "Oh, we can paint over that, which we're going to do anyway, and move someone right in here."

The wall wasn't actually DAMAGED, just some paint came off. They have bigger things to worry about like the roof leak which stained the wall, IMO. Oh yeah and the dead rodent smell.

Whatever, I don't want to have anything to do with those sensored word anymore. I'll take my $9 and run with it. Doug is just pissed off because of how I left, and the fact that I left in the first place because I was the ONLY person in that building that paid rent on time. They technically owe ME for all the time that the apartment was (IMO) uninhabitable. Apparently fly infestations, dead rodent smells and lack of heat are not considered uninhabitable conditions and yes I did the research. Now if there was a hole in the roof or no plumbing, then I'd have a leg to stand on.

Oh Doug, you just wanted to get back at me. I know it. But jokes on you because I don't care.

I had a landlord pull the same paint thing on me when I lived back in VA. There was some minor damage to the wall which I repaired (I used to be good at drywall) and also primed. It was a neat square less than six inches on a side. Not having any of the actual paint for the top coat I just left it like that. I found out later that in the state of Virginia the landlord is required by law to repaint if the tenant has been there longer than six months.... :evil:

The problem is that the landlord is supposed to stick your security deposit in the bank and let it draw interest while you are living there. (It's technically still your money.) Now, how many of them actually do that and how many go ahead and spend it: Your guess. I'm pretty sure most of them don't deposit the money at all, then when you move out they view any deposit returned as being an expense for them. The easiest way to avoid that is to find a bunch of mysterious damage they can bill you for.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:40 pm

My last apartment, they DID stick the deposit in the bank so when I looked at the paperwork, that was mind boggling. Where is the interest?

Yeah they didn't do that, and yes I got billed for the mysterious damage.

Oh well. Like I said, lesson learned. But Doug is probably just pissed off because that place cannot POSSIBLY be rented for a LONG time... I just passed by maybe two weeks ago and saw a bunch of flies hanging out in the window. :lol:

Last year...

1. I knew I should have never moved out in the first place...
2. I knew that after I moved out, I should have just gone back to the apartment I left TWO WEEKS PRIOR...

But I was looking for the greener grass on the other side of the fence.

That grass was dead. It looked green when I moved in. They must have spraypainted it green.

Probably ended up getting stuck in a garter down at Johnny's Place. :twisted:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:57 pm

Haha.

Well I forgot, I was late ONE MONTH... AFTER CALLING TO INFORM THEM THAT I WOULD BE LATE!!!!

Due to my work schedule which flip flops, I couldn't make it there. I told him about this and he said "Um, yeah, when you pay your rent, just include the $50 late fee."

Wow. If I've paid rent on time every other month, and I INFORMED you about it BEFOREHAND... I just don't get that.

I still have the lease renewal packet. I'd be paying $540 instead of $525. They still consider this a "deal" because the "market rate" is $650. Yeah yeah, whatever.

Man Larry has some Bad S* LED lights now, just got them installed a little while ago. These things look so dang cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deposits ................ :shock:

After working for the State Housing Agency for the last 9 years
I can tell ya stories of some of the ways they try and keep deposits

Other times the tenants should have to pay to rebuild the unit

Thanks for putting up with me at midnight Tom! Here's a pic of what they look like.
