We've had a bad run of luck with apartments. When we first moved to this city, we moved into a fancy high rise. A year later at lease renewal time, they tried to tell us we got the place on sale and jack the rent by $400 and then give us a discount of $200. Nope. We moved out.
We landed in a gorgeous condo with the most incredible landlord ever. I wish we could have stayed. He eventually had to sell the place because of his financial situation and we moved out because the condo association changed the rules so he couldn't sell to anyone who would rent it out. Damn.
We're now in a beautiful, HUGE apartment with the management company from hell. We had to call emergency maintenance to get the heat on after it was 50 degrees F in here. We were without hot water in our bathroom for two days and had to heat water on the stove to bathe because they turned the wrong valve in the basement. The mailman couldn't deliver mail for the longest because they wouldn't fix the buzzer that let him in. That's just a few of the awful things going on around here.
Now, every time the heat runs, we start coughing and wheezing, nose running, eyes itching, headaches, we think my husband might have had a fever last night, he's experienced nausea. We just bought mold test kits and we're going to see what this tells us. If it's positive, by law they have 14 days to fix it. In the meantime, we're making masks and it's already making a huge difference. Seriously. I didn't realize how bad it was until I put this thing on. I finally feel like I'm getting enough air!
Part of me is going "Nooooo!" and the other part of me is wondering if this would make the lease invalid and they'd have to pay for movers. We've been looking at tenant code and there's a strong possibility for the latter depending on how things turn out.
