[quote=HLS]Some landlords prefer a tenant who is always late and pays late charges 😉
You are an ideal tenant only in your eyes….
Do you have a lease OR month to month ?
You have rights. Contact the Consumer Affairs bureau.
I wouldn’t bother involving the owner. The PM represents them for a reason.
Is it worth it to you to have the work done at your expense?
Do you have any attorney friends who could write PM a letter ?
You could file a complaint with the Bureau of Real Estate http://dre.ca.gov/Consumers/FileComplaint.html
A rental agreement is a contract.
You have legal remedies but
If the PM is an idiot you have limited options trying to
deal with them. Take it to the next level.

I thought the legality of late fees in CA was challenged a few times…
