Tenant Issue looking for feedback
Hello BP, I am actually making this post from the tenant perspective. We had our property manager send out someone to fix our sink trash disposal and for some reason they are trying to charge us for this. Does this seem normal? We are just tenants and did not break anything. The disposal simply just was not working because of "too much food" but it was not broken and no parts or anything were replaced. Why are they trying to charge us for this? I am in the process of disputing it with the property manager and being as we are in CA and I know the tenant laws here favor us a lot I am willing to fight this. We have been amazing tenants for 3.5 years. Never paid rent late and always very responsive and respectful to our landlords. All annual inspections have gone very well and have never had any problems with the property or company before. A prior repair we had recently, they tried to bill us for too, but after talking with them about it they realized they were in the wrong and took it off. Over the the 3.5 years we have lived there we have paid approximately 100k in rent. Doesn't this seem kind of petty on their end?
