Whew... I'm whooped. Gymnastics was a struggle. A had a complete meltdown. Thank God my sister was there to handle Z. She literally fell to pieces and was just sobbing. I think it was all a little overwhelming to have Z and her Auntie there and a ton of other kids in this class. She is used to just 5 or 6 other kids but the summer program is bigger. Once we were able to start the obstacle course, she was happy again. Then we came home and got suited up for the kiddie pool and played in the back yard for a bit. Both girls are already napping and I'm about to go raid the fridge.. Or cupboards.. Or freezer.. Hmmmm

amberlie definitely call them every hour. I don't even know how you have lasted this long! They should for sure be taking this off your rent.

jedi I'm sorry that the last two weeks didn't go as well as you had hoped for E. How did he do with the swimming? Also, I'd be pissed about being told that they could do the drive and then the last minute change. Few things irritate me as much as someone who doesn't follow through on their plans and messing mine up because of it.

amberlie - I'd be calling someone other then their maintenance crew in and then be billing them for services rendered. That is absurd that you have had that for a month now.

Play set was delivered this morning. Apparently I paid for "curb side" delivery. Told H that I would move the light stuff over my lunch into the backyard and that we would need to use the dolly *currently occupied with some stuff for the deck, but not heavy* to move it. He said he would give it a whirl by himself. 1) It was only one delivery person and he used a dolly. 2) I can help get it on the dolly, moving the dolly. So... I did it myself using our work horse of a garden cart.

Betweenthelines I'm going to call again in about an hour. I talked to them today around 11a. I WISH I could withhold rent for this - but I don't think that that is within my rights. TX doesn't have great tenant rights. "Unsafe conditions" is pretty narrowly defined. Mostly - only one bathroom that is clogged, broken refrigerator, no AC, broken windows/doors. Otherwise they don't seem to care. fierymama I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that either. Obviously their staff is not entirely knowledgeable about appliance installation/plumbing. But they continue to send people who don't know what they're doing, AFTER complaining daily for 1-2 weeks. 3 separate maintenance people have been here and NONE of them knew how to properly install or fix the problem entirely.

Oh and actually that's just books, software, and lab kits. So on top of the $1500 - 3 sets of scrubs with patches, nursing shoes, a stethoscope ($150-$200) and a lab coat with a patch.

From Texas tenant advisor:
"Make sure that you are caught up on your rent and any other obligation you might have with your landlord. You generally cannot withhold your rent even if the landlord has failed to repair a problem it should have. Withholding rent will likely get you evicted in Texas."
Landlords in TX can also evict literally the day after rent is due and not paid in full, giving a 5-day notice to vacate.

Huffingtonpost still refers to the TMZ article. However, my local news station just released one where a spokesman for the coroner released a statement. :-(

amberlie , I would be calling the maintenance people daily until I had someone at my place.. That is ridiculous. H would be knocking down their door. I've called every day this week... every other day last week. They always say that the maintenance manager will have to get back to me. She never does. My whole kitchen is disgusting at this point because it's impossible to wash dishes without having a waterfall coming out of the cabinets. I have Tupperware under all the leaks and the bowls overflow within 5 mins of using the sink. This is when you go to the office and have a sit. Ask to speak to a manager and explain that you want $100 off your rent until the dishwasher is fixed - the price of a working dishwasher and sink and pipes is part of the contract you signed and pay for to live in that building. They need to fullfill their end of the contract or compensate you. I am not kidding either. Go in and take a seat until you speak to someone about. You can also say, you wll pay your rent in full on the first if a new dishwasher is properly installed in teh next 24 hours. And you might need to have a professional cleaning service to come in after all this to clean your place. at their expense.

librarylady we're having trouble with pulling pants down here too. He's started to resist wearing them because most of the time the reason he's having an accident is because he can't get his pants down. I've started putting him in pants 1 size up to help. Maybe that would work.
