I rent an appt..
On Monday my air conditioning broke. Tech came and looked it over said it needed to be off for awhile and left. He came back on Tuesday and fixed it. Yah all is good, nope
Yesterday there was a letter on my door from management.
"notice of non-compliance"
"complaints - Dmg to unit, not picking up after pets, unauthorized pets.
"You have a cat without a pet policy the cat has dmg'ed the unit. You must sign a pet agreement and pay the pet deposit of $200, plus the monthly fee of $25 from this point further"
I called the office and the manager said the tech reported a cat, and that there was cat feces all over the appt. and that my rental agreement does not mention a pet so I need to pay the fees or I will be evicted.
I tried to explain that on my original contract I reported having 2 cats. There was a little mix-up when I signed the first year lease. If you been apt hunting in the last few years the renters usually make you fill out a card with name, address etc and if you have pets, to which I marked yes, 2 cats. But on the lease it noted no pets. So before I signed I said I have cats. The whole time before the lease part I must have mentioned cats at least a dozen times since it is so hard to find apts that allow pets. Never once was a pet policy explained to me, pet deposit or a $25 extra for rent each month for each animal. I told her I couldnt afford that and that I couldnt sign the lease. The manager decided not to charge me the deposit and no monthly fees. All was well, then....
But yesterday she was getting all pissy saying she never did that, I have unauthorized pets and she was going to come and investigate the supposed appt full of cat shit.
I freaked out all day trying to call her back. She finally called me back at about 5pm and said she did find the pet notice on my first lease and apologized. But still said she needed to look at the appt. I told her that the tech mistook cat hairballs for poop cause in a gross kind of way they look the same. And that I clean up after them regularly. And as for the litter box, I clean it once a week so its never in real bad shape. The problem was the AC unit is in a little mini closet like space so I have my litter boxes in there so the tech was standing next to the litter box while he worked. Of course that will smell no matter how much, little or alot, crap is in the box
Oh and my mom pays for a cleaning woman to clean every 2 weeks (I have problems getting around due to some physical and mental reasons) so the cleaning woman helps with the harder stuff. So I know my appt isn't filthy.
Manager is coming on Monday to take a look and I hope to get another apology.
And boy would I like to speak to that AC tech for reporting all that crap on me.
Due to my mental issues I was a total wreck, heavy depression - panic attack, rince repeat all day. Yesterday sucked

, there are a lot of stray cats about and I found a cat that attached to me pretty quickly. The apts have a storage closet right off the porch and the cat liked to sleep in it at night. One night, 2 weeks ago, my step-kitty gave me a new present in the form of the cutest baby kitten ever.
