I am so sorry that you are going through that.
Moved in November from an apartment that flooded AND ac/heat was out for over a month last year when temps ranged from below freezing to 80 with high humidity and where roof leaked and maintenance gaslit like champions that the water marks on ceiling were not real until one day there was something like an inch of water in the kitchen dining room. This shared apartment had something like $200 rent increases each year.
New place he moved to (because of how aweful maint and mgt was at that apartment) FLOODED on the 3rd floor on the 4th. If he had not decided to stay there and study instead of celebrating for the weekend because he is in school there is no telling the devastation we would have returned to. Maintenance and management were among the missing on the 4th and no reply from emergency maint. Management calls Friday after we place several calls to multiple numbers again.
Zero action on their part. Water was pouring out of the wall during the hard rain. Bf saw it happening and caught the water. Mopped and dried it. Decreased the humidity and wall feels dry but who actually knows what caused the problem…
I am still in shock. What are the chances of this happening at a recently constructed downtown repurpose like we live in? Apparently 100 percent.
However bf is a grown adult who is handling the problem, so I am going to keep doing what I am out of town doing and he is going to deal with the mess.
Sending ((virtual hugs)) leafields. The state the previous apartment is in has few tenant rights. I had to finally cite specific rental code I found on the legal aid site to get the old apartment to fix the ac/heat. If I did not do this I am not sure they would have ever fixed the unit which was completely inoperable..no heat or ac. They also had to provide a habitable place in exchange while the work was being completed.
I hope your management is better than that and you are fixed soon. No one needs these kinds of troubles.
