The night before last I rec'd a phone message from a lady who works for the realtor that is managing the lease for the house I'm renting. It said that the owner had driven by it looked like one of the window ACs was not in correctly and could be letting water in the house so she wants to come by with someone to check on it. Then, she asked for me to call her and let her know when would be a good time because the owner would like to come by this week and the realtor is out of town on vacation. I returned the call yesterday, late afternoon/early evening, and said this weekend- either Sat or Sun afternoon would be fine. This lady asked if she could give my cell phone number to the owner so she could call me directly and we could arrange a time ourselves. I said sure, that's fine with me.
Then, about 8:30 last night, the phone rings, I answer, and it's the realtor herself (not the assisstant I'd spoken to about this.) She starts going off at me saying "V owns that housde not you" (meaning me) and I tried to calm her down and asked her what the problem was exactly, I know I don't own the house. She said they had contacted me because they wanted in to check the house out (that's another thing- all the window ACs look firne to me but I never said that) and she said made it sound like I wasn't working with them or something. I said, look, I got a call yesterday, I returned the call today, she asked when would be a good day and time, I told two options and agreed to let her give owner my number, so what exactly is the problem. Realtor said that she had just gotten an email from assistant and she was out of state on vacation and didn't want to be dealing with this. I said then why are you yelling at me, I didn't send you an email, I didn't request that someone come by...then she REALLY yells at me that the owner doesn't have to work out a time with me, she can come by with just giving me notice when she'll be here and her vacation is being interrupted over this and she doesn't appreciate it and.....and that's when I hung up on her. I don't do well getting yelled at for that long when I don't think I did anything to cause a problem or warrants someone being that angry and she wouldn't even listen so we could try to figure out where communication went awry.
All I can figure is that maybe the assistant sent an email saying owner was going to call me to work out a time and day and realtor had a fit over that???
Owner left phone message this morning that she and her boyfriend will be here tomorrow afternoon, sometime. She doesn't care if I'm here or not, that's up to me. I have a feeling that realtor called owner and basicly told her to do that- just give me notice and nothing else. Where legally they might have a right to do that, I find it rude not to try to work out a time convenient to both parties, which it sounded to me like that's what they were doing until realtor had a fit. Realtor and I have never had a problem getting along so I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it was instigated by the owner. Maybe the miscommunication was between the assistant and the owner.
