Hey
Alright the deal with the landlord.....Everyone who has been on my journal for awhile knows we have been having problems with them. Well monday morning when I woke up there was a notice on the door basically saying we had till wendsday 11 am to get out of the house. UMMM ya probably not..I freaked out when I saw this. I couldn't do anything yet till Mike came home for lunch. I called Mikes mom and she said she was calling the landlord. She called me back about a half hour after that. The landlord basically said it was her call and she wants out by wendsday. So she basically gave us 3 days to get out of the house. Mike came home freaked out and called her himself. She told Mike we still owed rent from October. Mike said we have the reciepts from October saying we paid it. She hung up on Mike. So then Mike told me to get ready we were going on base to housing and then to the lawyers on base. We get ready to leave and then the electric truck shows up and shuts off our electric. Mike asked the guy why he was shuting off the electric, we paid the bill. The guy said I don't know. I see your paid up but they still told him to shut it off. So ok we have to be moved out by wendsday and now we have no electricity. So now we are both really pissed off. We get to housing and explain everything to this lady. She calls the landlord and of course the landlord attitudes changes completely. She tells the lady that we owe back late fees. Well she told us we owed back rent now its back late fees. She said we owe $360 in back late fees. So ok the lady then told her that one of Mikes sergents is going to come and help Mike take out a loan to get the rent taken care of and have the electric turned back on. She then said ok if we paid the $360 by the next day we can stay in the house. So Mike ended up getting the loan for $780 which covered both the back late fees and the electric. We had to wait one day for the lights to come on so my stepfather paid for us to stay on base one night. The next day when Mike got the check for the landlord I went in there and talked to this lady. First I found out that she told Mikes mother that we owed $158. So how did it jump to $360? She had no answer for me when I asked her. So I was nice and got all my recpiets together from them. I also asked for copies of all the work orders I put in for this house. This is what needs to be fixed:
windows in the kitchen - the wood is all rottening out and we can't even open them at all
front door - we need a new screen door..Supposedly there has been a new door waiting for us but the guy was taken time to come by and put it up....This got fixed the other day actually...I'm also keeping records of when things get fixed
wall where the hot water heater is - the guy said it was old termite damage.
window ledge in the bathroom - this is also rottening out
These things have been on work order with them for months now. My husband also wants me to add the oil burner up in the attic thats fallen apart. The only thing holding the oil burner up is 4 2X4's. The ceiling in the kitchen has a crack running through it. Mike said it doesn't look like its holding up too well..Can you imagine if that thing comes crashing down into the house? Not to mention the fact that it would fall in Danielles room. You have to crawl theough her closet to get up there. I gathered all my papers from them and every rent recpiet ( I know I'm spelling that wrong but oh well). Mikes mom said there will be a lawsuit. Mikes mom called the better business beurua (I spelled that wrong also) and they told her they have had complaints against our landlord since 1963. Can you imagine? Then why the hell are they in business still? My mother in law told them my husband was in the military and they still treat him like shit. The lady said oh hell no we will put another complaint in about them. The landlord also told my mother in law she did not care that there was a baby in the house. That pissed me off. But you know what I won't do anything. I can risk losing my daughter over some stupid cunt. Anyways thats the story about what happened this past week. I told the landlord I'll be handling the rent from now on. There is more to the story but thats the basic of it. Our lease is up in Jan so right now we are looking for another place. I'm trying to find something decent before Mike leaves for Iraq. If not I will be staying with my mom till Mike gets back. It would be nice to see everyone in VA again. She would have a bunch of kids to play with. I miss everyone there. Alright I've typed enough. Bye!
