--- Quote from: Token on December 16, 2015, 03:10:30 pm ---So the roof edge leading to the back porch that slopes towards the house has no gutters? Your landlord is an idiot. --- End quote --- Correct. Frankly, that back porch is weird. It wasn't there originally and whoever added it didn't think it through. The A/C drip pan also drained out on it, so the other side of the porch used to sit under half an inch of water during the summer. I 'fixed' that by attaching a garden hose to the pipe and diverting the water into the yard. How nobody noticed this issue five minutes after that slab was poured is beyond me. (Would have been very easy to tie it into the hot water heater overflow pan and drain it out of the side of the house...) I'm happy to have some resolution on the living room, though. Another one of those, "well, it's not like you have kids...." situations where it was okay to screw me because, "that's a big house and you don't need that much space." Your only recourse in Texas is being let out of your lease without penalty, but that means you've got to pack up and move. :P |

To be fair has anyone met or had a landlord that ISN'T an idiot? I'm not judging or anything, it's just every one I've ever ran across has been a total jerk, mildly retarded, or a combination of the two. |

Eh, it's an old house. Stuff happens. The repairs have been competent but slow in coming. I've actually had pretty good luck with landlords over the years. Did have one that started sending all his money to a Russian camwhore, decided to leave his wife and kids for his true love in Moscow, and showed back up a few weeks later with his tail between his legs. 7 months later some Ruskie baby appeared that his girlfriend in Russia swore was his. Instead of simply blocking her e-mails, he continued to send checks. His wife put up with it for awhile... but has thankfully divorced and remarried. I wasn't personally affected by all that, but it certainly took the cake. |

For whatever reason, people have treated me as a confession booth most of my life. My parents' adage of, "if they're acting weird it's either an affair or cocaine" is right 95% of the time, so those revelations have long ceased to get a rise out of me. More interesting sins, people. Please. |
