One of the benefits of renting an apartment versus owning a home is that when things break down, the tenant isn’t always responsible. If the sink clogs up or the lightbulbs burn out, the landlord needs to take care of it. Broken stair, floorboard cracking open, oven isn’t heating up? Chances are, that’s the landlord’s responsibility to fix it in a timely manner. However… that assumes the landlord takes responsibility for it, plans to fix it at all, and then does so in a few days or maybe a week.
There are tons of great landlords, but there are also a lot who are just terrible to their tenants. In my experience, it seems like the larger the building is, and the more tenants there are, the worse the living experience is. These types of buildings with 20 or 50 apartment buildings and one landlord? They tend to have to wait to get their home issue fixed. The landlord can just keep giving the excuse that they’re still waiting for a part or that there are 5 other apartments ahead of them. It feels like you’re waiting for ever and ever for that unclogged sink or broken light switch to be fixed! And while you’re waiting, you can read the stories of the people below, who have also been dealing with some tough landlord situations.
