I seriously think this mean old man is plotting against us.
Our mailbox is broken (we share a big gray box with all of the other units, each have a locked door for their own section). My husband uses a tool to get it open since the key doesn’t work. It just happened over time… anyways.. remember that while I continue with my tale.
My neighbor who is attached to my duplex (whom I haven’t seen in a long time) came over today and asked me if my air conditioner worked, I told her yes. She asked if I’d come over and be a witness to what hers was doing. She told me she hasn’t been there for almost 3 weeks, has been staying with her daughter, because her air conditioner is not working. It runs, but it doesn’t cool AT ALL. It was over 100 degrees in there, it was terrible. And our current heat indexes OUTSIDE are in the range of 105-118. Our average temp is 100 degrees outside and 88 at night. So it was hot as hell in there (pun intended) and she told me she’s asked our landlord to come look at it and he told her it was “normal” and she was losing her mind…
Ladies and gentlemen, she is not losing her mind. That is NOT normal. Her house should be cool despite the temperature outside with a working air conditioner. Mine works, we have the same square footage. Hers APPARENTLY needs fixed. I had her take a digital pic of the thermostat and told her if she needs me to write a certified statement just in case he takes her to court for breaking her lease, she’s got it from me… I was wondering why I never saw her.
So.. an hour later.. he’s next door at her place.. the landlord. My husband goes to check the mailbox… and he sees my husband using a tool to open it. Conversation went like this:
Evil Landlord: “What is wrong with your mailbox?”
Hubby: “Its broken”
Evil Landlord: “Why did you break it?”
Hubby: “I did not break it, I don’t know why its like this. Several units are broken”
Evil Landlord: “Yall need to start taking care of my property! I already have to repair HER air conditioner and clean out that other apartment (he evicted my other neighbor) and now this!”
Hubby: “Excuse me, there is no YALL, I did not break the mailbox, this used to be SECTION 8 HOUSING”
Evil Landlord: “Don’t get an attitude with me!”
Hubby: “Don’t catch one with ME, maybe if you MAINTAINED your property, there wouldn’t be such a problem”
::: evil landlord speeds off in his van into the twilight ::::
I expect an eviction notice any day now. Lol.
By the way, found out a local judge told him he cannot penalize twice in his lease for late fees (10% of total rent AND 10 dollars a day for every day late).. that really pissed my landlord off I think.
You get what you put out is all I have to say.
