I even tried to file a complaint with the tenants union, but my pleas for satisfactory temperature control went unheard
I’ve lived in some pretty crappy apartments before out of necessity, and the conditions don’t constantly get me down too much because I’m aware that I’m paying little and receiving little. I’ve resided in sites that didn’t have functioning door locks, where the lights flickered 24/7, and where the water was disputably safe to drink, even though I had never lived in worse conditions than the stadium I rented on Green Street… The home only cost $200 a month, and it was for enjoyable reason. The walls were dirty and thin, the windows were drafty, and the neighbors were really up to some recreational pill popping all afternoon, every afternoon… However, the straw that broke the camel’s back was the unreliable HVAC unit. I swear to you, it didn’t matter if I was trying to use the central heating or cooling, because neither worked… No matter what temperature I set the temperature control to, I would come house and find that the home was freezing cold or blazing hot. I tried contacting the landlord and asking for HVAC repair to repair the air conditioner and heating system, but she ignored all of my calls and eventually forwarded my number straight to voicSMS. I even tried to file a complaint with the tenants union, but my pleas for satisfactory temperature control went unheard. Totally broke, I continued to live in the extreme discomfort of unpredictable heating and cooling until the lease ran its course, but every single afternoon there was total misery. I’ll take the roaches and druggie neighbors, even though I will never live without respected heating and cooling again.
