    Default Re: Is a Tenant Obligated to Remind Maintenance That Repairs Need to Be Made

    1st, if someone was beating on MY door and screaming I'd just call the police if they refused to tell me who they are. I'd not even debate it.
    2nd, did you complain to the management about the maintenance tech or were you too afraid of retaliation?
    3rd, since you took it upon yourself to dismantle this or that in the apartment they may hold you responsible for damages. This also goes for failing to report things that are broken. Given that they may consider you liable I'd think you'd be making all kinds of racket to get things fixed. Granted, you could contest it but you're the one that did the dismantling...see where I'm going with that?

    Maintenance departments don't "log" things in the way that you may think. It's very much a squeaky wheel get the grease, especially if you're dealing with a large property management company with a small maintenance shop, which would not be uncommon. I hope you documented the damage prior to dismantling anything and can prove that you made attempts to get maintenance out there. Documenting after the fact won't get you anywhere after you attempt to effect repairs yourself.
    You're not even reading what was written You're just misdirecting your own anger on me Real grown up of you...

    The 2nd was answered...
    I didn't dismantle anything really. It was falling apart. They used the wrong part and the water pressure cracked the plastic nut. It soaked everything to the point it was falling apart. The sides of the drawers were this thin plywood. They were so wet they just were falling off the rails and off the faces. So I just pulled them off the face all together. It wasn't so much cut and dry me dismantling anything. It was either have mold or don't have mold.
