I even tried to file a complaint with the renters union, however my pleas for sufficient temperature control went unheard
I’ve lived in some pretty crappy apartments before out of necessity, and the conditions don’t typically get me down too much because I’m aware that I’m paying little and receiving little! I’ve resided in venues that didn’t have functioning door locks, where the lights flickered 24/7, and where the water was disputably safe to drink, but I had never lived in worse conditions than the venue I rented on Green Street; The dwelling only cost $200 a month, and it was for great reason. The walls were dirty and thin, the windows were drafty, and the neighbors were actually up to some recreational pill popping all day, every day, and however, the straw that broke the camel’s back was the unreliable Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit. I swear to you, it didn’t matter if I was trying to use the central heating or cooling, because neither worked, and no matter what temperature I set the thermostat to, I would come dwelling and find that the dwelling was freezing freezing or blazing hot. I tried contacting the proprietor and asking for Heating, Ventilation & A/C service to repair the air conditioner and boiler, even though he ignored all of my calls and eventually forwarded my number straight to voicemail. I even tried to file a complaint with the renters union, however my pleas for sufficient 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, however every single day there was total misery. I’ll take the roaches and druggie neighbors, but I will never live separate from proper heating and cooling again.
