One morning, when I left for work, I came out from the back door of my building. A male stopped by on the roadside, waiting for the opportunity to get the entrance. He ignored my "morning" greeting and left me behind the building. I do not know anyone living in the apartment, but there are enough people who know who belongs there. That man definitely belonged.
To be a lessor, irritation is getting worse especially in buildings where the quality of the remaining buildings is declining steadily. I moved from the last place I lived after my apartment broke. Before the incident occurred there was a problem which had been accumulated in that place for several years.
Despite hurrying to condominiums, condominiums and consulting during the past 10 years, there are still people who still rent apartments. Some may do financial restrictions or aid from necessities, others do it because they do not want to bear the burden of ownership, others do for that reason. It is not always easy to find bad buildings before someone leases out and moves in. However, when the billboard becomes clear, it may be time to pack up and get out before the situation gets worse.
Changes in quality of tenants
Noisy music, children sounding stairs, someone leaves it in the hall rather than taking them home - these discomfort and other stimuli are something the lessor needs to deal with from time to time. However, be aware if you notice that the behavior of annoying tenants has increased significantly. This is usually a reliable indication that the landlord will not screen the tenant very well. Some landlords are not involved in the behavior of tenants, regardless of whether their behavior jeopardizes interference, inconvenience, or other tenants, as long as rents are available on time.
If the building is near the university campus, some of the other tenants may be students. If they are responsible neighbors, it's okay. Unfortunately, some university students do not understand the difference between residence and living in an apartment. A student who lived next to me had a habit of learning to gather together with a friend at 3 am. When I was ignoring my reminder that people at work were living in the building, I received my complaint to the landlord. I was told later that my parents who had lease contracts for her got informed. Before the semester ended, she went out.
Lack of building security
Constant gap in security - broken lock of entrance door, malfunction of door buzzer etc - Landlords who do not deal with the problem promptly spell problems with you and your belongings. Also, please pay attention if you notice that the number of occurrences of building theft, theft, and other crime has increased. If the policeman is always hanging, do you know that you live in a bad building?
The apartment's laundry room is particularly vulnerable. There were too many reports of beating in the laundry room. People do not have to be afraid to clean their clothes.
Continuous maintenance and storage problems
One woman said I was ashamed to bring a company to her apartment because there was a smell in the corridor and the stairs were dirty. When all of the laundry washing machine and dryer broke down and stayed for several weeks, I had to wash clothes with my hands. When dirt, dirt, damaged equipment becomes standard, and the landlord does not react to correct things, it may be time to move to other places.
Insufficient record of management office
I came home and found a five day departure notice under my door. I paid the rent a few days ago. Because the landlord called us, the staff did not check the mail, so my check was found. Next month, I received another evacuation notice. This time I confirmed that my rent was cached by landlord as a bank that I guaranteed. I sent a copy of the check to the landlord. After the third time, I was definitely bothered by the landlord. It has not happened for a long time, but the fact that it lowered my trust in the landlord's ability to take care of the business.
Building ownership changes frequently
If you lived in an apartment for years, one day you may notice that the new landlord takes over. It happens. The problem is when it happens every few months or every year. The management of revolving doors is usually a reliable indication that building properties are a problem.
no reaction
You call the landlord about handling the problem. I will go without a response for one or two days. Even if I call back again, I have not received a response yet. Even if a note is faxed or a letter is sent to the building management office, silent treatment will continue. In miracles, if you actually live instead of voicemail, give you something like a standard practical response that will praise you. Or worse, you catch them with lies. It may come time to relocate to another place and give a cold shoulder.
I do not know anything
It is a common practice to inform people whether water is off for several hours, whether heat does not work, or whether the disinfection service stops. Some landlords will probably lock the tenants in the dark. There were too many frightening stories of landlords who allowed them to divert their buildings to condominiums, and tenants could not be found until it was said that they were within 30 days to get out. My neighbors landlord was able to move some patients to the apartment without knowing existing tenants at the rehabilitation center. Landlords who do not feel the need to inform tenants of building changes are not reliable.
Some landlords do not recognize that tenants are actually customers. As you are paying for the service, as a lessor, you should not accept disrespect. With the help of tenants & # 39; if you want to continue living in the building, such as rights groups, lawyers specializing in tenant problems. If not, please transfer yourself, yours and your rent to another place.
