Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

dude myra if you like the LL so fucking much just tell them its a pain in the ass.

you think it would be easier if they sucked? i guess its easier to be mean to a mean person but whatever.

ima nerd so i would make a big list of all the times it fucked up, and the temp at the time and show them that. that'd get em good|

what about when the scoutmaster joins you in your tent


personally I believe in clothes. due to astronomical costs, i keep my heating at 17c mostly, 18c if it's really cold and just wear 2-3 layers of clothes minimum & use a hot water bottle on the really cold nights.

Originally posted by l�cid so here's the situation. my heat doesn't work very well. i mean, it works sometimes... but i have to go up to my attic at least twice every night to reset the furnace to get it to work. this has been going on for several weeks now and it's only getting colder. the problem is, i like my landlord a lot. i don't want to get bitchy but i'm sick of dealing with this. he's been over here at least several times per week trying to fix it himself, but it hasn't gotten any better. what can i do?

Sorry, I misread your post at first and thought you were referring to your heart!
Then I was like wtf? lol
My bad, it actually makes perfect sense.

its your landlord's job to fix shit when its broken. hands down. unless in your lease it says, "i don't give a shit about my tenants, so fuck them when shit breaks"

time for your landlord to pony up

Keep giving him icicles, and tell him you made them yourself, thanks to the temperature of your apartment. It's a good way to tell him you're freezing, and he's bound to understand sooner or later that he cannot fix it (although you too should tell him that).

Tell that ass to fix it. In the mean time, get a couple of those $20 portable heaters at Wal-Mart. They are good for heating up small rooms, especially bedrooms with the door closed. You should also stuff sponge or toilet paper all across your window cracks to seal out cold air that leaks in.

Furnace is most important though.

next time your rent is due just tell him you will leave it on top of a working furnace.

I have awesome landlords too, and I used to feel the same way about asking them to do stuff. But then I realized the reason they're so awesome is because they get shit done when I have a problem. So yeah, the point is: it's your landlord's job to fix your shit; therefore, he/she expects you to call when there's a problem and you shouldn't feel like you're being bitchy.

What does your landlord want? Your cash and your stay.

What doesn't he (she?) want? Shit being busted up or broken or leaking.

Solution. Talk to him like this:

Hey, Mr Overlord. I really like staying here, and I think I'm going to for a while. Stuff is done promptly, and I'm really happy about the price. I've noticed that the furnace makes a funny noise every once in a while, and after that, it gets colder.. A couple of times I went up there to see if something is wrong, and had to readjust it. I think it might break soon, and you might end up with a giant bill to replace a furnace (give him a price you look up on the web to replace a furnace).. I think it might be worth taking a look at it sooner, to avoid damaging it.

I'm a landlord, and guaranteed, if people mention "funny noise, switches on and off", things like that, I get someone there right away... as opposed to complaining about the heat (that's when I would think: "work the thermostat biatch!")

56.5F in my room right now. Still loving it.

I LOVE to sleep with the window WIDE open during the winter. Cold as fuck when I wake up, but I sleep so much better. Then again I always have roommates that use the heater. I can't sleep well with the temp over 70.

Also, I get warm easily, so I don't keep it too warm. This is the reason that I can't wear long sleeve shirts. I get warm too easily. Too many people like the damn heater to like 75f(23.8c) and I fucking DIE when it is that warm inside.

As a matter of fact, I do pay relatively cheap rent. I have an unbelievable deal where I live.

I'm on my way! Look alive nigga!

if you want to go the passive/aggressive route then make up a story about how every time you go up in the attick you get this itchy rash on your skin and you must be allergic to something up there and you had to go to the dermatologist to get steroids and cream which cost you money (copay). just be like, "this is REALLY becomming a problem now, it has to be fixed i can't go up there any more"

or you can send him a certified letter explaining the problem and how you need it fixed. it will send him a message that you are documenting your complaints and it might set off an alarm in his head like "oh shit i better fix this now". and u dont have to get confrontational. if he calls u after the letter just be like, "oh yea i just wanted to put it in writing" and keep it friendly. he'll get the message.

that's what i did about the mold that was growing in my bedroom ceiling. only, i really did go to the doctor about my skin breaking out in rashes on my body because of the mold. they had bleached the spot twice and it kept coming back, so i decided to throw that in there when i called a 3rd time. i bitched that it was costing me doctor visits because of it.

i just thought i'd use my experience as an example of what she could fib about

but how is the furnace causing a rash again? yours makes sense, in a spectacularly passive aggressive way...

for myra i think the direct route is better. unless she wants to burn herself in some catastrophic way - although the heater would have to work to do that|

I am surprised it took 3 times. With the way stachybotrys (toxic mold) has propagated in recent years they could have easily had a massive lawsuit on their hands.

anyone with sensitive skin can get a rash from anything. i have an allergy to metals so even if i wear platinum & diamonds, i'll still get an irritated spot on my neck that itches...same with perfume. she could just say it's dust or some crap. tell him she has allergies and going up there really gets her weezing or something


*shrugs*

and mine wasn't passive/aggressive because it really happened. i just threw it in there to add insult to injury. it was more like, "look mother******s, now its' starting to cost me doctor visits, don't make me deduct what i paid at the doctor from my rent" type of thing lol

Myra, just call them up and be like, "aight niggaz, I be having problems heatin' so I goin need ya's to come down her and fix dat shit yo!"
