Share marvelous stuff your lovely divine landlord has done.
Mine had the door painted over. Including the peephole. You cannot open the clap because of the thick layer of paint.
Also, they didn’t check if the shower is working. It wasn’t.
Hanging power sockets.
Not working light switches.
They had me move in today so I believed they were done with the renovation. They weren’t. The ancient toilet and sink are still in which will be replaced on Monday. I don’t get why they couldn’t let me move in after all was done.
Radiators painted over without being cleaned.
The deep drawer shelf you put under an oven is on the top counters. I don’t even see inside. Neither does anyone else, the crew who installed it forgot their food from it.
There’s no normal drawer for cutlery.
There’s a hole in the wall from ventilation for the mini kitchen which they didn’t patch up.
They didn’t clean the apartment.
The lightbulbs are just hanging from the ceiling with power cabled visible. Including in the bathroom.
And there’s probably more but it’s just this one apartment. I cannot wait for them to be done with all so I can gayify my place. My first time living alone. :) I have far worse stories from previous rentals but I want to hear yours!
A list of things from an old comment I made that have applied to different places I’ve lived:
“Why is half of the house on one circuit breaker, just the dishwasher on the other, and the rest of the house is unaffected by any of the other 5 breakers that seem to do absolutely nothing?”
16 gauge wire in the walls
“Why are my walls bleeding this weird brown goo after 6 months?”
No GFCIs in any of the bathrooms or the kitchen
The room that is always at least 5 degrees colder or hotter than every other room, no matter how many fans you use or windows you open
“Granite” countertops that get dents in them if you leave anything on top of them overnight
“What the fuck is that noise?”
Popcorn ceilings that very much do not hide the lumps and gaps in the drywalling
The Mystery Light Switch that somehow makes your wifi slow down but doesn’t control any other appliance, light, or outlet
The toilet that gurgles every night at exactly 3:22 AM and constantly smells like sewer gas, and none of the 7 plumbers you’ve called can figure out why
Uhh did you find out what the goo was?
Not exactly sure what the material is, but it was caused by a previous resident smoking in the apartment. I just had to keep washing it off the walls forever til I moved out.
