re: #30 steve_davis

Property management already sending me “new lease to sign” seven freakin’ months before the old lease terminates. They want an extra 30 bucks a month. I bit my tongue on my first reply and then emailed to say I’d need much more time to think about this and to get back with me sometime in mid-may. I did tell them I appreciated the early notice of a rent rise, as landlords often aren’t real good about that. Who knows? They may like the fact that I’m a trouble-free tenant enough who actually pays on time to where they might negotiate a bit. I mean, it’s taken them two freakin’ months to get a new refrigerator in to replace the one that will unceremoniously make it into the….how should I say it….Whirlpool sometime on Friday. (Whirlpools are apparently complete pieces of crap. The service guy spent about 10 minutes opening the fridge doors and showing the property guy just how shoddy the workmanship is on that crap, including cawking in various spaces because apparently the machine tolerances are so shitty that the freezer compartments leak like sieves.)

Whirlpool is Maytag but made outside the US.
