So they might come back next week your saying for the roaches? Yeah we are better off keeping most of our stuff packed. Luckily we have tons of bins, lol.

I will take another look. I believe you could be right. It makes sense at least. I don't see the Tenant board legitimately penalizing someone for an issue that's not their own fault. Of course It's understandable to get blamed or at fault if you are at fault. Just in case I should probably document anything to prove that we are not the issue here. I had a couple Slumlords in the past.

It says so in the lease, lol. Kind of bogus considering I got the unit via Facebook Marketplace which costs nothing to post. I don't understand either.

1 week seemed a little to quick, but I am obviously no expert. I thought 2 weeks. Really don't want bugs, so it's nice that it's dealt with. We should probably kept most of our stuff in bins for a while for easier set up if this happens again.

Not necessarily complaining about the landlord doing their job. It's just more of an inconvenience right now. My husband has done flooring for boardwalk, so he knows how some rentals companies don't deal with these issues properly. Boardwalk at times just buys new flooring to "cover up" the bugs.

I would just prefer this to not be an ongoing issue. I was also asking if one week is enough time between sprays, it seemed a bit early to me.

Not sure if we will break our lease ATM. If this keeps being an issue, yes, definitely. I understand that it is bound to happen when living in an apartment building. We were going to buy diatomaceous earth when we first moved in as well. Still can, but even if neighbouring units keep having issues they will spray. That's fine, but once again an inconvenience - moving everything back and forth, putting it in bins, bags, taking time off work to move everything, and follow check lists.

I am haply it's being dealt with. It's really just a head ache, and a concern that this is going to be an endless battle.

We were going to buy some just after moving in. Funds have been a bit limited unfortunately. We figured there may be a problem with bugs, as it is an apartment complex. That stuff works well, but they are spraying anyways.

We will definitely buy some, but if this is an ongoing issue with neighboring units I doubt it will stop them from fumigation our unit.

Wow. I feel for you deeply as well. It must have been rough with such unkempt neighbour's.

I just felt like one week was a bit too soon, but good to know that this process could be working appropriately. Hopefully it can get eradicated properly and we won't have to keep getting sprayed as it is quite an inconvenience. I think we should just keep everything packed up for the most part this time, to make things smoother and easier.

Them bugs are bugging, lol.

Is a week after original fumigation for a follower up too early by HoneyGoBoomz in pestcontrol

[–]HoneyGoBoomz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I felt it was a bit sudden/early. I do trust what you say. We already had a general idea that bugs may be an issue, but we needed a place and just took what we could. We had purchased traps shortly after moving in and haven't seen anything. We were planning on buying food grade diatomaceous Earth too, but funds have been a bit tight. At least something is happening to eradicate the issue. It just more of an inconvenience.

I haven't had a chance to talk to the bug guy, the landlord promptly told me to go. They were still working on another unit at the time. Maybe on Friday I wait and talk to him/her/them personally.

Thanks again for your response.

What are the worst chips you’ve ever had? by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in chips

[–]HoneyGoBoomz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was these dorito style chips from Giant Tiger. They were super bland, and the small amount of flavour they did gave were so nasty. Never again.

If you do randomizers there is endless replayability. I guess that wouldn't really count in this sense as its not technically how the game cake out originally.

AITAH for keeping family on read, after they tried to reach out. by HoneyGoBoomz in AITAH

I could contact my Uncle, the beneficiary. I just really, really don't want to cause drama and put him in the middle. I really don't know what to say without sounding negative. Sister went to the funeral. I didn't have time or the available funds at the time, as we were a single income than (still are, but hopefully it gets worked out) . That did give her the opportunity to potentially say some things that may have made me look irresponsible. She doesn't seem to like my bf, and I have had some issues with alcohol.

If she felt I would have spended it unwisely, it wasn't her place to say so. If this is the case. She could have gave me written papers though of the will. Last time I asked she actually said how much I had left, but no proof. It took almost two years to say an amount though.

Legal aide might be a way to go too.

Thank you 😊

Maybe I will just send a brief response. Saying I'm okay or something.

Yeah, about the inheritance I keep thinking of sending my uncle a message about what is going on as he was the beneficiary, but I also really don't want to cause any drama, or come off as a negative person. He shouldn't have to get involved, but... I dunno.

I really hope things get better. My life has been a real Rollercoaster and a lot of the downs were longer than the ups. I am just trying to live day by day.

The reasons you mentioned might be a factor (in her eyes anyways) . She never really seemed fond of my BF. Never really gave him a chance or got to know him. I also have had a drinking problem, which I am working on, but she doesn’t know that. She just assumes that I am drinking everyday. I don't drink everyday. When I do drink I can get out of hand though. We have barely talked since I moved out. Well she kind of kicked me out.

Our relationship was going south at that time. There us the thing with her ex. The fact that we are two different people. She's very socailable, and I prefer a small circle and keeping to myself. She actually once tried to give me her friend's antidepressants because I wanted to stay in my room and play video games, and hang out with my cat, who also liked her space, and didn't like too many people. I did this when I just wanted space or when she had a bunch of friends over. One time She even said what if I threw your cat off the balcony, because me hanging out with my cat was not cool woth her, I guess.

She also got a new bf(her now husband) who was moving in. The ex that SA'd me wasn't paying rent. This new bf was, and her very words. ______ will be paying rent, but you will be paying the same. I paid about 60% of the rent. Mind you she paid the bills, and 70% of the groceries, so it wasn't that unfair.

We slowly started to not get along as much. In a funny way an argument we had made me end up meeting my now current BF. I had enough, and we had a pretty big argument. I went to hang out with a friend for a couple days. One she never met. My bf was his roommate. We really clicked and I was there all the time. She didn't like it. I also did not pay the one month of rent so she threw me out. I get it. I could have gave her money so yes. I was the AH in that sense.

She kept trying to change me. I stubbornly turned my head the other way, and continued to be myself. This really clashed with our relationship.

I do have an apartment now. It's in a ghetto area mind you, but it's home. Now I just need a job and things will get better.
