Apartment Flooding: So Rude

They sucked up the water off the carpets, pulled the carpets partially up, and threw out the soaking wet padding. The main gentleman complained about the dog pee and about how he peed 100,000 times on the carpet. He was very rude and told everyone that came near that my dog peed 100,000 times on the carpet. I only had my dog for two weeks.

I left to run some errands, and came back and my place smelled like cigarettes. I have Asthma and Valley Fever, they could have killed me. Of course, the apartment management defended him, but I saw him walking in and out of the downstairs apartment with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. This is the same guy that complained about the pee.

There were huge cracks in the concrete subfloor. I knew where the water went. All over the downstairs neighbor's electronic equipment. 100,000 dollars worth of electronic equipment. My hard work was for nothing. Everything was moved, so I couldn't find his biz card to call him at work. I told the maintenance guy that the neighbor had expensive electronics down there. Maintenance guy said he was going to get the key and left, and I didn't see him again until that evening.

The neighbor had big wet holes in his ceiling. The Maintenance Guy didn't go down there or even call. His furniture was ruined. It did miss his electronic equipment, but he was madder than hell. He couldn't understand why the management didn't call them. For two hours he ranted and raved in front of the building. I really wanted to put a nice "told you so" in these conversations, but I held back, he scared the poor maintenance people enough.

His damage was so bad that they had to pay for him to move to another apartment. If they just would have responded to me when I called. The other option would have been making a phone call to him, so he could get all his expensive furniture out of the way. Just one lousy phone call and they could have saved themselves thousands and thousands of dollars. Of course, they told me to use my renter's insurance, for the 300.00 worth of stuff that I lost, not including the shoes I was wearing when I came in the door. They said they were going to come back and inspect to see what damage was done, but they never did. I had to pretty much call and beg them to look at my kitchen floor with 3-inch tall ripples in it.

The did a half-butt job of replacing the kitchen floor, there are still some ripples from the damaged subfloor they didn't replace. Plus, they put a huge dent in the wall when they moved the fridge. You can immediately see it when you walk in the door.

I guess they aren't stupid, they just don't care. And, it's not over yet! But, this is the last you will hear about it.
