[quote=deadzone]Just an FYI on how inept my property manager (and owner) are, of the current maintenance “to do” list, the recently completed tile work and the as yet to be completed fix to one of drywall leaks were originally reported about 4 years ago. The other open issue, which restarted the discussion of the old issues, was ceiling damage caused from the heavy rains this January.

So I fully understand the concept of a PITA tenant, but no reasonable landlord could categorize my “complaints” as a PITA tenant. In fact the only issues I’ve ever complained about are water damage in the house and broken appliances.[/quote]

FWIW:

I thought that might be the case. In that case, the PM is incompetent and your landlord is a moron for not taking care of water leaks imho (assuming they know there is a leak).

Water leak leading to mold is not a good thing, obviously. Perhaps you might get a small mold test kit and if it shows up, positive, it’s an entirely different ball game.. It sucks that things have to get to this extreme before a landlord/PM actually takes things more seriously.
