The ...Adventures in renting--ain't it the best? The apartment next door to us years ago had been empty in the winter and the landlord had never shut off the water so consequently the pipes froze and when they thawed there was a Niagara Falls level leak in the shared basement. I called the landlord and his wife said she would try to get a hold of him, but he was at work and wasn't sure when he would be able to get there. Trying to be helpful, I went into the basement, which already had six inches of standing water and counting, and shut off the water at the main (because I was unable to find the specific valve to the other apartment). I then called the landlord's wife back and told her that it was off so he could wait until after work to come over. BIG MISTAKE! He waited FOUR days to come. FOUR days in which we were without water with FOUR kids. Each phone call we were assured he would get there as soon as possible. The kicker part? The landlord only lived two doors down from us.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162829547026802129.post-74618016393020189512012-01-06T20:24:41.955-07:002012-01-06T20:24:41.955-07:00I have a tremendous amount of respect for your res...I have a tremendous amount of respect for your restraint.

Listen, a leak is always and I mean always a concern, anyone with half a brain Knows such information and if you let a leak go it only grows, so they would have paid either way? Either Holiday pay or FIXING major damages from allowing the LEAK to EXPAND. MORONS!!!!<br />Oh, I would love to have read your email and I am glad you enjoyed your day!!!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795342448811764481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162829547026802129.post-10268683560992770192012-01-02T20:38:24.122-07:002012-01-02T20:38:24.122-07:00Since when is a leak--any leak--not worthy of imme...Since when is a leak--any leak--not worthy of immediate attention by maintenance?
