Oh and the guy who plows the parking lot well enough to make it look like he did it also hits parked cars. Elevator's broken, which is great since the lady in the handicap parking lives on the second floor. What's better is that rumor has it the reason the elevator is broken is that it has a hydraulic leak and the official maintenance guy, whom I was told I was complementing by calling him a handyman when I meant it as an insult, has solved this problem not by calling someone qualified but by continuing to add more hydraulic fluid. Some jackass doing hack shit to a fucking elevator is something I know is illegal. "Renovations" to the building are still ongoing and they make no attempt at dust mitigation for the sake of either the workers or the residents. I can keep going but it's basically slumlord shit in a relatively nice town.
Wow that's heavy. I once waited a long time before asking for a reduction in rent due to a similar situation, and received it. Is that a possibility for you? Also at least where I live there are renter run associations that can help.
