Mate, sounds like you're being cantankerous for the sake of it in some of what you're saying above. If you want to move out, give them notice and do it. If you don't, then don't.
If you've got a problem with the PM, then try starting with his boss, that's the normal process. If you get no satisfaction, go to the state branch of the Real Estate Institute. It sounds like you're escalating a petty argument unnecessarily.

Just complain to his boss, write a letter apologising for your words, stating that you didn't provide any notice and request that all future contact is via email due to your hearing. Problem solved very simply. I understand that you don't always get along with people but the main thing is to keep your cool - lose your cool with your PM and they won't be doing you any favours. Did they specifically ask for you to not contact them about maintenance or just to not contact him? From your previous thread where you had issues with PM you appear to go straight for the throat when your PM's **** you off as opposed to being the bigger person and dealing with it calmly.
No offence intended - just an observation which is perhaps wrong, I'll admit!

I think you might find it is a legal requirement to have a smoke alarm fitted in NSW. You may have breached the lease and broken the law by not allowing the installation.
Therefore I would write back to the managing agent and apologise for calling him an idiot and that you were wrong not to allow the installation.
What could have happened if there was a fire? You could have been killed and the landlord could have lost a property with the insurance possibly not covering a place without a smoke alarm. Your suriving family would have then have probably sued the poor bloke.

Agreed, you're lucky that's all you got from him, I would have breached you in a heart beat for breaking the law by not allowing maintenance to go ahead and had you in VCAT over a general dispute so fast your head was spinning!
A situation that got absolutely out of control with everyone reacting in a bad manner from the sounds of things.
Apologise, state your intention to stay in the house and arrange for the trades to do their thing.

Ahh, you guys never fail to amuse me. Always passing judgement without knowing the full details.
Apparently it's my fault for not being able to hear on the phone and being unable to answer answer it for 2 weeks when the electrician is calling to try and organise a time to come around when I have no idea they're trying to install ANOTHER smoke alarm seeing as I already have one..... Yup, I would like to see how well that one goes down after I've already advised the real estate I cannot hear on the phone and require them to communicate via email/text.
For the record, I never refused the installation of the another smoke alarm either and the electrician was a bit baffled by the fact I already had a smoke alarm when he turned up. Guess my real estate are a really switched on bunch.
Great crowd on here, no doubt about that!

Well, I already had a smoke alarm and I wouldn't hear the smoke alarm if there was a fire anyway.
Having a phone and not being able to answer seems to be worse than having no phone at all.. Perhaps you could text people who call straight away telling them to to text you the info.
I think people here are just trying to get to the core of the problem, based on bits and peices of the whole story.
You can't text someone you haven't received a call from... and not everybody calls from a mobile phone, a lot of businesses still use land lines. I often get my parents or friends to make calls for me, but I don't get them to call back every number, especially when they don't leave a voice mail.
I have nothing to be sorry for, I initially went into the office when they took over the property from the old real estate agent to explain to them I'm deaf and cannot hear on the phone. Instead, I was met with rudeness and brushed aside despite the fact I'd taken the time and effort to walk into the office instead of phoning or emailing. He can stick it in his pipe and smoke it, then apologise to me. I have no problem moving out and letting him find more unemployed dredge like my neighbors to move in and pay less than what I do currently.

It's not really about getting to the core, I asked for advice on where to direct my complaint(s) and all I got was people passing judgement. The full story is really irrelevant, unless you want to hear how bad the PM messed up going back a few months ago.
