serge 904 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I just saw on my twitter feed that if you watch the game on the HDNBC feed you can see the US commercials. Is this true? because in previous years, CTV or GLOBAL hijack the signal regarding of where you watch it and put their own commercials in there. 59 promos of CSI Pakistan can get annoying.

Zach6668 513 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh man, wow. Hyper Crush released a new album tonight. There's a song which seems to be talking about how cool Don Cheadle is (bizarre), but it samples the entire ultimate insult from Billy Madison, and then mixes some of the lines into the rest of the song. It's beyond incredible.Billy Madison: LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Only 3 days left in my wonderful job. Figured I would scrape the barrell of any semi interesting stupid tenant stories I get this week. I got a couple. They probably suck but it does show that the human race is either bad at math or just annoying.First story was from yesterday. Since I am leaving the boss decided he should probably do some work and see if anyone owes us large sums of money. There was a lot. One in particular owed us $2145. He moved in 6/1/11. I guess he got the letter about it and called my boss and they got into a circular argument. The guy I guess just kept telling my boss that he didn't owe it. My boss said he did and if he believes he doesn't owe it, show us some cashed checks or money orders that we are unaware of. So my boss said he would email me his full rent statement that shows each payment he has made along with check and money order numbers and he can sit down and see where he thinks we messed up. So the guy calls me all angry asking me to take care of this and fix his account to show him with a $0 balance. I tell him that he already spoke to that guy and that I have nothing at all to do with accounting. He didn't seem to like that and kept telling me to fix it. I kept having to explain that the person he discussed this with earlier was the property manager and the accountant for the place. He is my boss so there is no chance of me telling him what to do. I told him I had the statement ready and he could come pick it up and he told me to just take care of it myself and figure out where we messed up. Umm, no. I don't have his checkbook or money order stubs to do that, he needs to come over, pick it up and do it himself. He said he couldn't and would stop by today. I told him I would leave it at his door. So I did. But before I did I perused it and I saw the glaring issue and why he indeed owes us $2145. I decided to be a nice guy and wrote out 3 pages of detailed notes going month by month to show him that he is basically an idiot. For 6/11 and 7/11 he paid his rent in full and on time.In 8/11 he paid but the check bounced. He submitted a replacement in early 9/11 but never ended up paying the 9/11 rent as well. So now he is a month behind. He stays one month behind till 12/11 when that check bounces. Again, he doesn't submit a replacement. So now he is 2 months behind + tons of late fees and he has yet to also pay Feb rent.Oh and look who just pulled up! More later! Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That, and nobody is willing to take responsibility for their own mistakes, or inadequacies, and try to just ignore their problems expecting them to just go away. No accountability. I'm guessing Steve's tenants aren't exactly a perfect representation of the entire population, but they certainly seem to be in the majority. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Oh look, he dropped off $2145. YEAH THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT BITCH!Still in the middle of dealing with the second story that is growing by the minute. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Who just randomly has $2145 laying around when they live in a $680 a month apartment?Oh wait, tax time...that explains it. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Who just randomly has $2145 laying around when they live in a $680 a month apartment?Oh wait, tax time...that explains it.Even with late fees his rent is actually 640. If he just paid on time his rent is $590. People are just stupid. That is all there is to it. Alright, 2nd story.So last month a woman comes in. She is the daughter of one of our older tenants and she tells us that there is mold on a couple walls in her parents apartment. She is not happy about this and tells me herself at that time "Mold is not something to mess around with, we need to get this taken care of right away!" Yuppers! No question about that. So I call the maintenance man (referred to as MM from now on) and tell him to go take a look and see what is up. He does but between other things it takes him a couple weeks to find the source of the moisture because that needs to be taken care of first before repairing the walls. I am sure I don't have to explain why to any of you but I have spent today repeating that about 6 times already. Anyway, in the middle of that the tenants leave for Florida like they have been doing every year for about 15 years. They will be back in April. So Tom got the roofers out to fix the roof which caused the issue with the water coming inbetween the walls and thus creating the mold. Then he started on the repair of the walls but got sidetracked last week because of 4 move ins. No biggie, they are in Florida so we have some leeway in time. Today a woman who I have never met comes in and says that she is the daughter of these tenants and she stopped by and noticed that someone has been in the apartment. Me: Yes, we are taking care of the wall that had the mold issue.Her: But no one has contacted us that this would be happening.Me: Umm, I guess your sister was the one who came and told us the issue and told us to repair it. So we are. Her: Must have been my sister-in-law. Who is repairing it.Me: The MM.Her: HE IS? Me: Umm, yeah, is is the MM here. Her: Well I was not made aware of this.Me: I am sorry but the tenants asked for this to be taken care of. I uh, I don't know you so I wouldn't think of, umm, calling you.Her: I just don't see how you can just do this.Me: It's mold. It's not something to sit on. It needs to be taken care of. We have every right to do so.Her: I don't like know MM is able to enter the apartment whenever he wishes.Me: How else are we to get it repaired if he can't enter the apartment. We were asked to make the repairs, that allows us to legally enter the apartment to make those repairs. Her: I don't like this. I am going to call my sister-in-law. Me: Sure. Bye.So then just a bit ago the sister-in-law calls.SIL: Hi Steve, I was the one who talked to you about the issue. Me:yes, hello.SIL: My sister called and said she was in the apartment this morning and saw someone had been entering it.Me: *sigh* yes, we are fixing the walls you requested us to fix.SIL: And it's the MM doing this.Me: YesSIL: Why are you entering an apartment without letting us know about it.Me: Hold on a sec. ( I go grab a lease off the other desk) Your parents signed the lease. The lease states that we are allowed to enter the apartment without a tenant present to make any reasonable repairs or inspections. You put a work-order in to take care of the mold. So until that is repaired that remains and open work order and we can enter the apartment to make those repairs and we are doing so. What exactly is the issue?SIL: We told you about this last month, why is it not repaired. My dad says that MM stopped by to look at it and try and figure out what the cause was but he has yet to be able to talk to the tenant above. Then they left for Florida. We have heard nothing since. I need exact dates when everything was going on with this issue.Me: I can't give you exact dates because I am not the MM. But yes, we need to find the cause of the issue and take care of that first. If we fix the walls and there is still the issue that caused the mold then well, you get the picture. Once MM figured out the issue your parents were in Florida. They still had mold on the walls so we have the right to enter still and repair that. If you want dates, talk to MM. But the fact remains. Your parents apartment is in need of reasonable repairs. You yourself told me to fix it. So we are. Again, what exactly is your issue here? I really want her to spit out what I think the issue is. They think MM is going to rob their parents. I see no reason to make this big of a deal about it. And I know for a fact that if I had access to their dad's number in Florida he would not have an issue. This is the kids overreacting. SIL: I don't understand why you are entering the apartment and not telling anyone.Me: Simply because we don't have to. You asked us to repair it. We are. We can't help the fact that your parents are in Florida. I will tell the MM to stop what he is doing and notify the property manager and tell him you don't want us in there until April. My guess is he will tell MM to get back in there and fix it. Mold can spread. No reason not to fix it. Better they are not there anyway for this kind of job. (This mold effects 3 large walls in two different rooms).SIL: No I don't want you to stop. (What? THEN WHAT THE F IS THE PROBLEM)Me: Ok.SIL: I will call MM and see what is going on.Me: OkI haven't heard back yet. My guess is MM probably wont even answer the phone.

ajs510 122 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I enjoy the fact that your apartment complex has late breaking stories with updates. There is no possible way I could ever do your job, I would have torched the place on Day 2. Link to post Share on other sites
