I'm not going to read all of that garbage.

If you believe that maintenance forgot to complete a repair, and you want the repair to be made, it makes sense to remind them about the issue.
You didn't address the question asked. "I'm not going to read that garbage." Great. Then don't bother responding. Geez la weez. Good job on wasting your own time there, Susan. You're not hurting me by not reading it. The only person upset here is you. And just skip the whole dramatic 'be more succinct' BS you're about to write up.

"Am I responsible because I didn't keep reminding maintenance to fix my stuff or are they liable for not logging it and keeping track their selves?"

If you don't tell management about realistic repairs that need to be done, they have no way of knowing these things.

Preventive maintenance MIGHT include things such as changing HVAC filters and checking the batteries in smoke alarms. But unless you notify management of repair issues they're not likely to know that something has broken.

If you're worried that you might be charged for issues that are normal wear and tear do the repair request in writing and keep a copy for yourself.

First off. If I go to them and say, "Hey this is broken." They know. Secondly. If they would have logged it they'd have remembered.

As explained, I don't want the repairs done. I mean I don't care if they are done. I don't own the building. I just don't want to move out and then them say, "Hey you need to pay us money because this is broken. And then when I say, "I told you guys it was broken 3 times." And they ask when and I say, "Three years ago." Can they come back and say, "Well you should have reminded us. It wouldn't have gotten this bad if you hadn't waited 3 years to say anything else. Can they legally do that? Or do I have to keep reminding them just so I'm not liable for how bad something gets from neglecting it. Basically, are they responsible for checking in every so many years and checking on things to ensure it is good to go. Or am I supposed to keep telling them something needs repaired? What is my obligation on letting them know something is broken? What am I legally obligated to do? Tell then three times? Submit it in writing? And if I don't remind them and just let it get worse and worse am I responsible? Or is it their fault for not logging the issue and getting to it.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY REPAIRS. I just want to know who is responsible for keeping track of things. I went to the staff 3 years ago on 3 different occasions and said, this this and this needs fixing can you fix it. When they didn't come and fix it I never reminded them. since then things have gotten progressively worse. Am I responsible for the repairs or are they?

They have never done any preventative maintenance or checked on my apartment.

And even for things that aren't any worse just still broken. Is there like a statute of limitations or something? Like the sink has been without a nut for a couple years now. So the water has been turned off on that sink a couple years. After so long of not reminding them it's broken do I become liable for the repair? Or are they liable for the repair until the day I move out?
