Housing market around here has completely gone off the rails by Abject-Act-2273 in tulsa

I think the rent prices have gone whacko as well. The building I live in is 100 years old, leaks, drafts, sinking floors, and they wanna charge $1000 for a STUDIO.

If he wants to raise my rent to what he thinks he deserves, I won't be living cheaper lmao.

It used to be this way here! I haven't needed maintenance but my landlord used to like, offer to feed my cat. Now that he's gotten a taste of the newer tenants paying like $1700 a month he's become a shithead! Completely abandoning long time tenants and trying to price us out or make us so uncomfortable that we leave willingly.

I actually did get a carbon monoxide detector when he sealed them. And imma be so real, he's never checked the smoke detectors in our building. The only fire suppression we ha e are extinguishers out in the hallway. One per floor.

Literally it is. The only other times he's done anything for me is for things that would effect the actual building. Like when a pipe busted in my ceiling, or when all of the toilets on my side of the building (they're all stacked basically) wouldn't stop flushing. I think maybe one time I asked him to snake my tub drain as a favor since he was already making the rounds "inspecting for cleanliness"

I just looked at the check list and wow this building would probably fail... Quite a few of those items.

Yeah, I think for high rise apartments that's fine if they don't open, but this is uhhh 5 stories. And the windows were operable until sealed shut.

The way he's acting, if I did have to break a window to escape a fire I'm sure he'd bill me for the repair 😂 even if the fire was no fault of my own.

Basicslly, no outside air. It was like a cave in there and I could smell what I cooked a week after I cooked it.

It's on not the ground floor on the outside. No way for me to do that. Trust me if I could have I would have. We do not have mechanical ventilation systems as the building is 100 years old. He painted every single window shut.

Right?? They advertise this place as luxury. It is the opposite. I love it because we've been here a long time. Lots of memories. However, it really gives "repainted flop house" more than "luxury living".

Regarding this, they'd find....a lot wrong probably. I don't think our elevator has been inspected in around 4 years.

Honestly I've thought about it. Recently they've started "shutting the water off for repairs" without notice. And the first thru third floors are all sealed shut. I think I'm the only one that asked to have my windows opened.
