Real News
So here's a real entry. I'm not going to sugar coat anything here, I'm going to tell it like it is. If you agree, leave me a msg on here. If I offend you, I really couldn't care less.
First things first, my best friend left last night. She's going to be moving all weekend and won't be online until Monday or so. I miss her already, and I could really use her right now. She always cheers me up and makes me feel better no matter what is going on in my life, and she makes me feel like everything will get better. I really wish she was here, because I could so use her help.
Everyone knows the problems I've been having with my apartments. The AC hasn't worked since we moved in, so the apartment is horribly hot. It makes it hard to breath and I get heat headaches and blackout from them. I've told my manager Myra several times that it needs to get fixed, and she's told me she's "working on it." In the month of June, the AC guy showed up 3 times. He's a really nice and friendly guy who did a lot of work when he was here, but the problem is that once he leaves, he's gone for a long time, most of the time over a week. Myra says she called him and called him, but she never called another company to get it fixed.
On top of that my stove went out. They got it fixed in the time allotted, 3 business days, but because we were without it for the weekend, we had to spend money to get food and to go to my mom's place to get food. So we pretty much wasted about $100. And because of this, I told Myra the rent money might be a bit late. I never blamed her, but when I told her, she told me she would waive the late fee so long as we could pay by the 15th of July. We paid the entire rent, $625, on the 10th. Now she says we owe her the late fee plus the 3 days we were here at the end of the May. First of all, Myra waived the late fee. Unfortunately I didn't get it in writing because I was just glad I wasn't being evicted. Second, we were told when we moved in that the $800 we put down covered us from the day we moved in to the beginning of July. I SPECIFICALLY asked if we would be charged for the extra days, and we were told no, it was included in the $800. I think all this is bogus BS.
Now we have another 3 day notice that my mom has to pay because we don't have the money, and the owner wants to talk to us. He came by today, but I was at my mom's place so that I didn't have to stay in this hot ass apartment, plus I had some errands to run and laundry to do. While we were over there we decided to look up 2 bedroom apartments for us and my brother and his gf. We stopped by and looked at some, but one was too small and the other one made me uneasy. There were people in the office singing songs about sex and such out loud, and the managers didn't seem to care. That's just not right to me. Anyhow, we didn't like either one, so we went back to mom's place.
While we were there, we decided we would ask the manager there about a 2 bedroom, because it's only like $940. So that would be $470 each, but since my brother and Jen are getting the master bedroom, they will pay a bit more. That sounds like a really good deal to me. We'll lay down some rules, of course, but I don't think it'll be a problem.
When I signed onto Yahoo, Ed wanted me to call him. So I did. Basically he told me that the owner was here today and wanted to talk to me. He says the owner has a bill for the work on my AC and that I should drop the lawsuit and pay my rent on time. I got angry and started to yell because I was upset. He said I was yelling at him and preceded to hang up on me. I said whatever and went back to my wajas. I changed my status on yahoo to "Screw you all, except my lovely Laelie." I was pretty pissed off.
A few moments later, Ed messaged me and continued to tell me that I should drop the lawsuit and pay my rent on time. It's pretty convenient to me that the owner just "happens" to get a bill for $1800 for the AC the day after I tell Myra that I'm contacting my lawyer. He also says that he has 30 days from a written notice to fix the AC. We were never presented with any paperwork about the AC. We didn't know it was required. Also, even if we knew, it would have been a bit hard to get it, since Myra was never in the office and never at her apartment. The paperwork I have says it's 30 days from notice of the problem, and we can prove that she contacted the repairman the day after we moved in. It's in the hone records for the office, plus we can ask the guy.
I became upset at Ed and told him he wasn't on my side, because it didn't seem he was. He told me over and over not to put him in it because it would put him in jeopardy, so I did my damnedest to keep him out of it. Yet when the owner was here he got in the middle of it. It really wouldn't have been hard to tell the owner that he didn't want to get in the middle of it and to just leave me a message or a note on my door. I did my part, and that's all that's required of me.
I'm not dropping this lawsuit. I want my rent back or something, since I've had to live through this hell we call an apartment. This place is such a crock of shit; there are roaches and mice everywhere, and it's so hot in here I have two fans pointed on me and I still find it hard to do much. I'm sorry that Ed is upset, but I shouldn't have to sit in my apartment and worry about blacking out if I go into the kitchen to make myself some dinner, right? My apartment is my home. I should be able to come home and know that this is my comfortable place. I should be able to let all my worries go here and just be myself, but I can't do that. And it's just not right.
I'm going to bed here in a few minutes, try to sleep this off. I'm so tired and depressed it's not even funny. I just want to lie down and not get up until everything gets better. But I can't; I have to go look at that new apartment tomorrow and get my clothes from my mom's place. I don't want to deal with any of this, but I'll call the owner in the morning and leave him a message to call me back and set up a time for us to meet. I'm fairly sure that Myra is not telling him anything she's telling us, and this could be a problem.
Well, goodnight all. I'll try to remember to update again tomorrow.
