I had to go through the hottest months of the year without an A/C because the apartment complex refused to perform due diligence when fixing the A/C. I had to call them out twice to fix a leaking kitchen faucet that should have been taken care of before I moved in. I had to go without a working refrigerator for two weeks because they decided to try to find a part for it that didn't exist anymore rather than just get me a new refrigerator.

During the two weeks of waiting for this new part, my fuse box literally blew up in my face. I was standing about 3 feet away from it at the time (this happened on a Friday night at 9:30). While waiting for an electrician to get the proper parts (on Monday), I had to purchase and sleep on an air mattress in an empty apartment (which had a working refrigerator, by the way). All I got from the manager of the complex on this was an "It was a random occurrence and it's unfortunate that it happened to you. We're sorry." Meanwhile, I still ended up having to purchase an A/C thermostat and replace it myself because again, after talking TO THE APARTMENT MANAGER, it still didn't get fixed.

For my troubles, I was offered $85 off one month's rent. When you realize that I paid a $450 deposit, a $200 non-refundable fee to have my apartment in good shape before I moved in, and when you realize that if I paid my rent one day late, it would cost me $94, $85 doesn't seem to cut it and it doesn t make me feel any better about the idea of resigning my lease. They couldn t even offer me 10% off a month s rent. Cheap.

Legit problems, but seems like an isolated incedent. But I feel for them either way. Sucks guy, good luck to you.
