[quote=deadzone][quote=FlyerInHi]Look up the property records and contact the owner directly. You have be right to do so. If you can’t get a phone number, write to the owner.
I’ve had a situation where the property manager of the unit above mine wasn’t properly addressing a leak.[/quote]
Yes I have contact information for the owner and he is ccd on many of the emails I deal with the PM but he is not interested dealing with anything directly. That is why this is frustrating. The property manager is incompetent and becoming borderline hostile.[/quote]
Most likely owner is not reading the emails if you’re just cc’ing him. The mindset is that it’s just a courtesy copy and he has the PM to deal with the situation.
Try communicating/emailing the owner directly. Telling him you know your rights and specifically what needs to be fixed. Or you’ll fix them yourself and deduct that from the rent. Money talks.
Perhaps a leak or two in the house with the mold issue and a complaint to the health department will get their attention.
