I very recently moved to a small 1 bd house, naturally i was unaware of the house problems such as, the hot water tank was not hooked up, electical outlets burnt as well as the two breakers on this house being tripped all time cant run more than one thing at a time. Ok so on with the problems, Kitchen sink stopped up, leaks in the ceiling , shall I cont? WELL, the landlord sent a person to "fix" the problems....including the oven not working that now runs a 500 degrees no matter the setting.So the sink was unstopped for a few moments, when I came in from work it drained VERY slow, like it took overnight for the sink to empty, when it does it drains from a broken pipe at the back of the sink and goes into the bottom of the cabinet.The man also connected the water tank that has bad water i it , we have been running the water for 2wks now it is rusty and smelly still.
I called a couple of days later t say thanks for getting somebody on this stuff promptly however this still are the problems. Well to get on with it today an electrican came, looked at that, landlord came over unannounced barged in saying I am the land lord (whom my BF has never met, going straight to tank.LL says to fix that we need to cont to run the H2O(we have been for 2wks mind you)LL say if $ of just running it is the problem, I will take some off rent. BF stated BUT that has been done , not better and ask LL if he would like to bathe , eat off dishes cleaned in that nasty water. Well that made him angry he stormed out called me at work (not knowing who was calling)says who is that piece of shit in the house, I was like what who is this, THE LL! and he said it again, he said I am not fixing an F-ing thing while he is there I want him out. I said we have not violated a thing and that is not up to you to decide whom resides with me, he says he didnt sign a lease, I said he is listed a an occupant, review your own paper work. He said then I will evict you both, I said on what grounds(all the while I am asking what is going on, he did say once he said something about the H2O tank, I replied AND?) Nothing more was said. He then told me he was calling his Attny, I said yes please do, and I know my rights and you must make some of those repiars, he said I have a good repore w/ my tenants, I told him not with that attitude as well as he needs to rethink his actions and cool down (as he was yelling) He hung up on me. I have been there since march 1st 08, I cant not believe how he acted.I have never dealt with a person like this as a LL, my own family has been rental owners as well as I have been in Mngmnt myself in the same field. So now I am not sure what to do, I didnt ask him to come over and I spoke to him about it yesterday and asked politely if he would consider changing the tank to elec instead of gas due to gas prices. He laughed and said yeah if you plan on staying 5-10 yrs. I blew it off and just said OK. Now what? Oh he said before all this came about, as he was barging through that the elec will be fixed tomorrow....Guess I will see what happens there. I feel unsafe and do not want to burn up in some old house, I knew it needed work before I moved in but those are major deals, i dont even have hot water it is nasty , and the gas co will not light it say it isnt code, they told me oh they say that about everything. I know this is all gobbled up and misspelled I am now very angry about all this so please over look the errors. Oklahoma City
