Normally you see threads by unhappy landlords and their tenants. This thread is different because I'm the unhappy tenant having a quick rant about my landlord.
I rent an apartment in a large sized Chinese city. I'd say the building my apartment is in is around 30 years old. The kitchen sink has been having issues and leaking in the apartment below. The landlord wanted me to stop using the kitchen sink until she could get it repaired. Fine I can live with that.
Now she wants to do major repairs to the Kitchen and bathroom that will take two days. Thursday and Friday.
The problems are
-during these two days she wants me to hang out baby sitting the workers in the mornings while she is out buying materials
- I'll need to find somewhere to crash Thursday night because there will be no toilet
The lease is up for renewal next month so If I kick up a fuss, I'll need to find a new apartment which I really don't want to do.
I can imagine the fuss my tenants would make if I tried this on them in Melbourne.
Thank you for reading my rant. I'm now going to grin, bear it and try to see the humorous side.
