Emergency Maintenance sent me this picture. I replied "yes, it is very cold out."
When your flooring installer tries saving you money by taking a shortcut on proper prep work.
The flooring installers usually do not replace wood from my understanding. And sometimes they flop before everything is dry too.
I don't think maintenance will comply with the access notes.
I can't really fault them. I wouldn't want my family or friends living next door either.
Okay, you've clogged your kitchen sink. What now? It doesn't affect the landlord one bit. You can use your bathroom sink for your cooking and cleaning dishes until he can get over there and clear it. And he can charge you if he suspects you poured grease down the drain. And you just invited him in so he can do a cursory inspection of your apartment for lease violations while he's there.
Me - “Oh, I’m sorry to hear your drain is clogged” “I’ll have the plumber over right away” “However, I must remind you that if the plumber finds excessive grease, baby wipes, or other items we discussed that aren’t to be sent down the drain — you’ll be paying the bill…”

Okay, a moment to get deep. As a property manager, I love my property. I love my residents. I love even the toughest most challenging parts of my job. With that said, my job is to find things wrong.

Not sure why anyone would be afraid of sharing their rents if they were operating with integrity and proud of the value they provide. Although, if they are exploiting renters
In this case exposing this data is actually going to negatively impact residents. Every property management group that has been lazy and kept their rents repressed will feel upward pressure from their owner groups to normalize across their user base.
You really can't exploit renters in this fashion, they know exactly what rates they are being charged and they know exactly what they can go rent out in the open market, they have the most amount of insight and transparency available to them. Thinking that keeping rent rolls private helps landlords exploit renters, only demonstrates a lack of understanding of the basic market economics for our industry.
