Wow Sahfin, your place sounds as bad as mine.
Maybe you could threaten the landlord to fix some of the problems permantly or you'll withhold rent.
Definately he should fix electrical and plumbing problems...(assuming these worked fine when you signed your rental contract.) Does'nt it state in your contract that items like you mentioned be in good working condition?
We've also had electrical probs...yep even our electrician shocked himself while working on the fuse box! We've had 3 separate problems in 7mths with our fuse box/electricity. All of which happened when my husband left town on biz..of course!
Leaking ceiling in MBR... I had to cancel my flt. to Singapore (with hubby) and pay cancellation fee to deal with this nightmare. Rain water stained & ruined my new 2000$usd mattress, had to pay for drycleaning mattress cover & bed spread. Turns out that the building management knew about the existing problem & did'nt tell us. We are now trying to get them to pay for our damages...which they say they will...been 4 wks & we're waiting. grrr
Renovation 3 floors above us has littered our private patio, & clogged our patio drains with falling concrete, plastic straps,general garbage & even a 2 ft. metal rod that shot through the air landing just by my patio door (thank god i was'nt out there at the time). After ump-teen complaints to everybody, we finally got the construction mgr. to send someout and clean it up. Crappy job to say the least...still have concrete bits & garbage lying around. Have'nt been able to use my patio for about 2 mths now.
Have had problems with all 3 of our shower heads breaking, along with one of the showers leaking water on the floor, which was repaired with glue...only to start leaking again.
Laquered cabinetry & built-ins (everything is laquered-ha!) peeling/flaking in every room of this apt.
Not to mention all the noise problems with constant renovations (the 6th now) & working after permitted hrs ,neighbors moving chairs between 11pm-4am every night since the day we moved here etc etc..
Our maintenance man is worthless...he could'nt even complete simple tasks he was told to do before we moved in. And he did as little as possible, and it shows.
Even our agent had to constantly stay on him to get things done. And he was a jerk to her too.
Only spot painted the apt., & did a general cleaning or no cleaning at all. I had to scrub this place from top to bottom for days...it was filthy!
I could go on and on...we've had problems for quite sometime.
Sorry, not trying to rant here...just wanted to let you know your not alone.
I don't know if it'll be better at the next place we live...but at least i'll know what to look out for & what to stay away from.
Good luck with your place!
