Help! Maintenance not good enough.
Please help,
I have lived in my apartment for 2.5 years, never a missed or late payment. Replaced my broken microwave myself to not bother the landlord.
My cat walked in and out of the blinds enough times to break a few pieces off. They were Bali blinds supposedly custom cut but the store bought size.
As an act of good faith I replaced every set of window blinds with the Bali grab and go blinds from Home Depot (same material).
My landlord now wants to charge me to get all new blinds!
Also, the carpet pulled up at the tacks from the traffic not the cat.
The window screens (2) have a few marks from my cat
The shower has some marks on the glass from the tap water.
My family and I cleaned this place day and night for days, and I get that I may have to pay for some of this stuff but I don't want to get taken advantage of.
What is reasonable ? Help!
Best,
Greg
P.s. live in Los Angeles, CA
