dear god, are you there? it's me ... inked
i have never asked for much (ok, except that one time but i was 14 and i really thought boobs were important) ... healthy happy children, healthy happy friends, world peace, love ... seems to be a pretty small standard order there.
so now all i am asking for is:
* that my apartment be fixed. not half assed fixed like it has been in the past, not "sure it's 80% done" when it's really "50% at best" after 14 days of work (minus the sabbath of course).
* i'd really like to go home at some point and be able to put my clothes back where they go, because it's kinda sad to see them all on the floor attached to their hangers.
* i'd like to walk into my house knowing that my electricity will work (in ALL rooms). it's kinda scary to come in and find out that now some of the rooms that were fine before have NO electricity - it's like the electricians they send in have some sort of weird tool that takes away light not the other way around.
* i'd love to be able to open my door and not smell the overwhelming nastiness that is moldy carpet.
speaking of smells...* i want to be able to walk up to my front door without retching because the carpet is second to the stench that the massive row of garbage cans that are now lining up outside my front door are emitting. the workmen have filled up every available one in long beach with various things such as moldy wall entrails, wet wood, nails, ripped and dusty tarps, empty beer cartons. now notice that i did NOT say rusty nasty dirty pipes, because some how these guys have decided that kiddie beach pails work much better than the trash cans.
* i'd like to believe in humanity again - i don't want to become all bitter and nasty because my landlords have said to me for the 3rd time that my apt will be done on friday.
maybe what i am really asking for is a miracle - but sometimes, if you really truly believe, miracles happen.

Well, they are legally responsible for the place you rent BEING POSSIBLE TO LIVE IN.
In fact, if I were you, I would simply break lease and go to another apartment. Legally, you are perfectly entitled to do so.

the place was not inhabitable for 20 days ... no electricity or running water ... the walls were torn down because they had to get to the pipes. i believe that is called UNliveable.
i am just recently month to month. sept 3rd was my 1 year anniversary at the place ... woo-friggin-hoo ... i would move to another place but unfortunately i do NOT have the 1st and last or 1st and security deposit that i need to do that. i had NOT anticipated that my apartment would go to shirt so fast.

Nowadays you often do not need much in the way of a down.
Rentals are soft. I got into my last apartment with a 200 dollar application and cleaning fee only.

no worries sweets, all will be right with the world soon enough. it's just that your landlord is a moron. the worst part is, he is incapable of knowing he is a moron (by definition). perhaps a trip to san fran will help. wanna go?
