WHERE DO I START'

Call me a fool, I've been here for 5 years and in that time this complex, and my particular unit, get worse and worse. I'm om the 3rd floor and my ceiling continually leaks and eventually caves in. Does management come running'....NO! Last year we had to call the city to force the management here to come and fix the gaping hole in the ceiling after 4 days. But let's not stop there.....after the heavy rains a couple of weeks ago the ceiling began caving in again, this time with the help of two racoons who come in thru the roof and walk around above the ceiling. Of course we told management about the racoons months ago and they did their usual nothing. I know this sounds hard to believe but I swear it's true. The night that the racoons fell into the living room, management here sent the maintenance guy here to help me shag them out but they had already gone out thru the screen door on the balcony. So he put up a piece of plywood to hold it until someone came to repair the ceiling yet again. That was over a week ago, no one has shown up yet in spite of someone in the office telling me they had the work scheduled for last Monday. Believe me, I am out of here. The entire complex is turning into a slum, getting worse everyday. And as my story reveals management is not concerned about your apartment problems, large or small. My yearly lease is up in November but I am going to break it and leave at the end of this month. If they contest it I'll call the city again and the Health Department. I certainly think that racoons in the living room is a safety hazard, or am I wrong'
My advise to anyone seeking out a decent place to live is don't stop here. The rents are not cheap, the halls are not kept clean and they don't bother too much with landscaping or snowplowing. Why I stayed here this long is even beyond me but don't make the same mistake.
