Dear Angie Sabater,
This letter is in regards to 1212A S Boeke Rd. My residency of the last two months. I was reviewing my lease and feel as if you are not upholding your end of it. The issues I am about to state have been brought up multiple times since I moved in.
1.The wooden pallets that were next to the house on my side are now in the back yard due to my mother because they were such an eye sore. They are sitting there along with refuge from the apartment next door with a disgusting mattress, a broken TV, computer, and rolled up rugs. These items attract animals and rodents. This is not my style of living.
2.There is an odor in this home that I was assured was from the rugs that were removed. But there isn’t one person that has come to my home and not commented on the stench. I believe that the basement area under my living room is the cause of the smell due to previous pets using it as a litter box.
3.Granted you are taking care of the roach situation, I am very displeased that it was not brought to my attention before I signed the lease.
4.The basement is of no use due to what I previously stated about the smell. There are many roach bodies lying around down there and I don’t feel that I should have clean that up due to disgustingness. I most definetly would not want to use my vacuum down there as it is my own personal vaccum that I use in my living areas.
5.There was absolutely no weather stripping in the door jams. I had to seal them off with foam weather stripping.
6.Windows are so drafty that when I lit a match the flame flickered due to wind seeping through. We did attempt to tape up windows with weathering tape but still every morning I have extreme/dripping condensation on the glass.
7.The stove that was provided with the apartment is not in sync with the outlet provided, so I am forced to use an extension cord across my kitchen floor under my sink. This is not safe.
8.The lease states that you would maintain the yards appearance. There are leaves and debris everywhere.
9.I was never provided adequate garbage cans for your property.
10.The phone jack does not work in the hallway. I only have one working one in my bedroom.
11.The bathtub constantly drips warm water, which means water that I am heating and paying for.
12.I wake up with my eyes red and irritated every morning, which I believe is due to a buildup of mold in this home. Which is visible on the exterior of the house.
I work 2nd shift, and when your brother occasionally stops by I am usually in the middle of my night and not alert enough to stress what needs to be fixed or needs to be done. But I have mentioned all of the above.
I don’t want to be considered a complaining tenant, but I believe these are of just cause to discuss with you.
As you can see I have stated over ten things that are of nusiciance, and took way too long to get fixed. This is my first apartment and much more stressful than I had anticipated. I would like to request my deposit back and am giving you a full 60 days noticed that I will be leaving.
