Maybe, like us, they got very tired of waiting weeks on end for things to get repaired. Maybe, like us, they got very tired of having the entire building shut off for hours and even days so that a minor water leak in one apartment could be repaired. Maybe, like us, they got very upset over learning that the neighbors were being told they were the ones responsible for issues in the building that had nothing at all to do with them.
I have no idea. But, I do find it interesting that the old apartment is now suddenly again available. I miss the fireplace, the creek side porch and view, and most of the neighbors. We were very lucky that last year to have a lot of good folks as neighbors.
I don't miss the noise, waiting for weeks to get something simple fixed, dealing with a management team that had little to no regard for us as tenants, and many other things.
But, I would do it all again in a second if it meant Sandi was back with us.

Interesting how that happens. What a nice little thought piece.
ReplyDeleteWe were there for over 30 years and though there were times we were a few days late with the rent, management--no matter the company--never ever filed eviction paperwork on us for non payment of rent or any other matter. The old apartment is listed on the Collin County Court System this morning for eviction due to non payment of rent.
ReplyDelete30 years is such a long time. We had a house in Allen for only 5 years and ended losing money when it sold. It sold for the same price as we bought for. We had kids or strangers throw rocks at our windows (broke two of them). Someone wrote terrible things on our car and garage door. Someone broke our doorbell. My husband is an United States citizen but from Taiwan. I am white from Indiana. I loved that little house until all that happened. We will never buy another house in Allen. So we are in apartment. Don't think we will have a house again.
ReplyDeleteThe apartment that we live in, is slow on repairs because the repair keeps quitting or not showing up for work. But my husband does some of them himself.
Sorry that Sandy is no longer with you,
Could be the folks that moved in never actually paid rent, other than first month plus deposit.
ReplyDeleteIt never would be allowed to go that long, Terry. They moved in back in mid September. The property management/ownership company files evictions with the court no later than the 10th of each month. They love to file on you and then charge you far more than the filing fee as an additional charge on top of the rent and late fees. The filing fee is $121 and, according to several former neighbors, the property company tacks on $500 for that charge.
