That was the term I used in my 6 page missive to my old apartment complex over the b.s. that I've dealt with in trying to leave. Now, as it is an "income controlled" community, many of the workers take it upon themselves to treat ALL residents in a manner that is oppressive, condescending, and just downright offensive. If I want someone to talk down to me, I'll go yip with Donald Trump. They do not appreciate a tenant who has a few brain cells that are on function capability and who realizes "I don't need to put up with this ish". Not to mention, their office hours - 10 - 6/12 - 6 on Weds and 10-5 on the weekend. Not conducive to someone who works. They also are slacking on the background checks as I said before and there are major issues in my old complex.

So, with that I dropped off the letter and the apartment keys, as well as faxed & sent copies via certified mail to LBV's manager - as well as her manager and the director of the former property owner. AND - to make my point known, it also went to the various state agencies that needed to be alerted to the happenings in the apartment from the mold in the vents & air conditioning systems and bathrooms to the shoddy workmanship by the maintenance team, lack of follow up by the leasing staff AND a few incidents that happened to me including someone alleging I never gave notice to my old complex to try and block me from getting a new place. What. The. $*@*#, right?

SO - get this - this morning I get a call from LBV's manager telling me that she got everything and will address it ASAP. She says the security deposit would be returned in 3 weeks, if anything, and I told her I'd docket it and, if I didn't hear/see anything in 3 weeks, her and I would have yet another discussion. The fact her person kept telling me that they would "invoice me" for the damage tells me that is their normal m.o. I think the letter plus my constant refrain yesterday of "there will be NO NEED of that" drove my point home of "Want to tussle with me - see what happens". Not to mention they invoiced one of my buddies who moved out before me so I'm wise to their kung fu.

Has the LBV drama ended - for now, yes. However, let's see if this gal is as good as her word. I'm not holding my breath just yet tho...
