Landlord problems rental property
How’s it going community ,I had new tenents just move in June the tenent came looked at the house while we were still getting alot of painting and repairs done ready for move in mid July well the tenent landed up calling us and was explaining to us if there’s a possibility they can move in on the first of June . Because the landlord sold the house .i explained to them it wasn’t a good idea because I still .had a lot to do.they said had no we’re to go it’s stressful with children and having a big family and so on and so on.they told me after I was. Done painting .they didn’t mind if we let them move in on June I could go and get repairs done.well I let them big mistake. Once they moved in I got complaint after complaint first they said the ac wasn’t getting cold I went showed them how to use the thermostat and had the tenent put his hand by the vents. It was getting cold he said ok I also explained to him the outside ac fan had a Edison summer saver plans which turns the fan off at certain times he under stood but wanted the box off so I called Edison And had the box taken off problem solved .a week after i got a call from tenents saying they got a message via text from the water company stating continuing runner water possible leak.so I went noticed they were running a swamp cooler 24/7 they said the ac bill was high so weve been using a swamp cooler,and they filled up a above ground pool .i asked them did they call the water company to let them know of the pool fill up they said they didn’t.i called the water company to talk to them about the running water text my tenants got and explained to them they run a swamp cooler that runs on the water faucet and they fillled a pool ,and all the household water use from big family.the water company said that’s why there getting that text.they also said that for me to talk about there account water usage they have to call and give permission so I asked the tenants they refused.its gets better,I get another call from the tenants now sayin one of the toilets are making a noise.so thinking the worst I go just a stuck handle.so while I was here I th ought I might as well change out all fill valves and floaters for all three bathrOoms so I did.was there a few hours making sure they were running properly and leaks.i remind you that was on a Thursday.on Monday my tenants send me a bill via picture text from a plumber saying all toilets leaking cleaned out all fill valves because they were clog and put in new flappers leak fixed.i asked the tenants why’ didn’t he cal l me he had no excuse,so I called the plumber he said they clogged and he cha changed the flappers.so i come Back how’s that if I just put all of that new four days Pryor on Thursday he couldn’t answer me free.now im getting I’m not paying my water bill because of the leak.now they sent me there water bill .with previous charges from there old residents claiming it as part of a leak.do they think I’m stupid,there clearly trying to scam me.they won’t Give me permission to talk to the water company and the plumber is his good friend.
