It wasn't cleaned really before I moved it, but it wasn't a sty either. It was "acceptable." I will say that the kitchen floor had a great shine and I didn't restore that before I left. The only issues they could have would be that I had a couple MARKS---not HOLES, but MARKS---on the entry walls when I tried to move in my leather couch. I couldn't get it in past the entry door so I taking it down to church and donating it! I know the landlord's bitchy girlfriend was having a cow about it but I told her that it just needed a little touch up paint. I told her I bought the paint and would take care of it before I left. She then told me that I was NOT allowed to paint any walls, but if I left the paint there, they'd refund my deposit. So I left 2 gallons of paint (way more than it needed), a rolling pan, and a paint roller. To illustrate how cheap and illegal these bastards were---they'd turn off my heat--turning it down to 58 except one occasion where they completely turned it off from the boiler room--after I left on Sunday to go back to Baltimore to work for the week. They'd not turn it back on either, so I'd get back on Friday night to a freakin' ice box. And I was paying rent!!!! No way in hell was that legal for those bastards to adjust my thermostat. The one time I didn't get there until Saturday, and I was so pissed that I jacked the thermostat up to 80. I then took my son to the 2pm movie matinee in town, and the son-of-a-bitch came over, noticing my car wasn't there--and put my thermostat back to 58. MF!!!! I was furious. I'm actually looking forward to suing this f*cker. I'm going to ask for my $575 deposit, plus the filing fee plus fees for me having to come back and file the suit---gas, labor cost lost, etc. I probably won't get anything beyond $575, but nonetheless I'll add it to the complaint. > > This is all through my mgmt co and not by me. > > Do you make much off your properties? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
