As you might remember, in early July (I think that's when it was), the owner of this house I'm renting just HAD to come by because she supposedly drove down the road and saw a window AC "that didn't look right", then somebody botched communications and I got a call from owner's rep and she was yelling at me at 9:00 at night. Then, I get the very unprofessional letter saying owner wanted to retake possession of the property and would I move out 2 mos early for a used washer and dryer, which I turned down.
OK, in early August I had to travel out of town for work and had a pet sitter watching the dogs. The pet-sitter told me on the phone that she'd come by but couldn't let the dogs out because the fence was taken apart in placces and there was a truck working in the yard. As it turns out, the fence was put back in place but the owner had someone come over and take 2 trees out while I was out of town. Fine, but I was never notified at all be them.
Then, last week a get a call from owner's rep saying owner wants to come by last Friday to check house and make sure it's safe for hurricane. Mind you- all these people know I work and have to take time off work to meeet them unless it's evening or weekend hours. Anyway, I said fine but I needed to know specific time. Owner's rep said owner would call me that evening (Thursday) but owner never called. Then on Friday, they sent us home from work to prepare and evacuate so I got ready, called owner's rep and said that owner had never called to arrange time but I was getting ready to evacuate if they wanted to come over after I'd left with dogs, fine. When I got back Mon. am, I saw a chain lock latched that I never lock so I knew either owner or rep had been here. Yet, they didn';t change a single thing- no window ac out of window, anything. Fine.
Then today, owner's rep called saying owner will have estimators here Fri at 10:00 am to provide them an estimate for replacing all windows and refinishing floors. OK- first, I'm not due to be out of here until end of Oct and I doubt any estimate is going to be good for that long so I am now wondering if they are going to call me up next week and tell me that I need to be out of house for 2-3 days to accommodate this work being done before I actually move out. And if they do, do I have a legal standing to either tell them "no" or tell them they will have to foot the bill for me in a hotel? Furthermore, what about this frequency of having to accommodate them wanting to do whatever while I'm still living here, especially now that it's to a point I'm having to take off work for this stuff? And NONE of it is an emergency or major repair? And NONE of it is anything I called in about.
If they think they are just going to have all this done on my time, they have another thing coming. I think I'm going to call rep back tonight and tell her to make sure either she or owner is here to let estimators in Friday morning because I'll have dogs at the vet.
