Rental Management A$$holes

Apologies, but I gotta vent. Don't read if you want to avoid negativity. I won't be offended.


Remember the crappy apartment management that we have? They refuse to fix the heat per the owner doesn’t feel like it. Technically they are “willing” to fix it, but not by paying someone who has the ability to fix it. The first place that came out said they could fix it within an hour. Apparently they didn’t like the price, because they started getting “second opinions.” They are trying to save a few bucks going with a different repair place that is having trouble obtaining the necessary parts for two weeks. They left us with a couple tiny space heaters, but as cold as it’s been, it’s making it painful to breathe. Sure, a normal person might not have any issues, but with my chronic inflammation, my chest basically feels like someone went to town on it with a metal meat tenderizer. It’s one thing when you think it’s only going to be a couple of days. But 2+ weeks is redic when it's well below freezing outside. It takes a few days for my condition to recover (pleurisy) so it’s constantly miserable – not merely the hours I’m at home. It doesn’t instantly improve if I go somewhere else warm. It’s getting increasingly difficult doing my physical therapy exercises when it fracking hurts to breathe. The exercises they’ve been having me do get my heart rate up to 160, easily 40-60 minutes so it’s not super easy slow breathing stuff.

This isn’t the first time they’ve dragged their feet fixing stuff. A few years ago when the air conditioning went out, I had to get a doctor’s note before the would fix it. It was 100+ and they were like eh, no big. My fur-kid had heat-stroke and the vet shrugged because although they could treat it temporarily, it wouldn’t really help since they’d have to go right back into the heat. I happened to have a doctor appointment during the time, so I asked. Inflammation doesn’t do well with heat, so it was a legit note. But it’s stupid you’d have to go that far to get anything done.

It’s not like I can take out my unpleasant feelings by hitting a punching bag, so I chose to vent here. Abosolute bleeping a$$holes. On top of that, they gave us a lease violation today for putting up a non-holliday plain decorative wreath on the door. It's just leaves. Helps Amazon delivery find us. But no let's be even more ludicrous. No heat, no decorations. Good grief.
