Failed Property Rental (15 pics)

"About 3 days ago our apartments air conditioning stopped working and we put in a maintenance request for it to be fixed. For the past days every day we have put in a request to fix it but they say our air conditioning system is working. We have tried to let them know that the apartment feels really hot and the system will work for 30 after they work on it and then will completely stop working.Yesterday our property manager let us know that they will not be coming out unless our thermostat shows that the temperature is at 90 degrees inside despite us telling them that the thermostat is not accurate. I have a pregnant wife and 2 other kids and the apartment has become inhospitable to the point where we needed to go stay elsewhere with family so that my wife and kids don’t have to deal with these conditions. The manager says air conditioning is not something that it’s important or an emergency to fix in Texas. I have a thermal imaging thermometer and it shows that the apartment is at 95 degrees indoors with our kids room being the hottest at 97 degrees."

"My landlord sent this last night at 8 pm. Is this even allowed? I am getting back into town Thursday after being gone for months and I am essentially moving back in with how much I have. Not to mention there’s no time specified and I have a virtual interview that day. I am fuming, especially since they didn’t even clean it well before we moved in & now expect us to clean for them ??"

"So I guess I’m going to contact a lawyer or something to see if there is anything I can do about this? The deposit includes the last months rent and I’ve paid for the first month. Only here 4 months total because it’s so close to school. I guess I’m going to pay for this next month and see what I can do legally. Will be doing my dishes in the shower from now on ???? Thank you for everyone who validated me thinking this is not okay. Also yes it is pre furnished and this was not the first surprise I’ve had in the month since moving in. Issue is that the landlord lives in the room across from me (has its own kitchen and stuff) so it complicates things. Also really don’t time to focus this as a student who just moved down for this semester."

"The greediness. Rest of his post says he still making money too, not losing any. People ask for this then regret the decision once they allow someone to live and not pay rent on time or even have the amount they’re asking. Some people don’t realize how easy they got it till it gone."
