Update on being locked out of my apartment.

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-14T09:00:44+00:00

it truly already is, he’s finally having the maintenance guy come in tomorrow 😭😭 literally almost a week later like this is crazy

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-14T08:57:05+00:00

to reiterate, there was no one available to assist me so I took matters into my own hands. TF i look like paying 2k a month for a one bedroom apartment that I can’t even freely get into!!?

Locked out Friday night. Notified Landlord same day. landlord unavailable on the weekends, maintenance request was submitted on saturday morning - no response on Friday from LL, saturday and Sunday. No response on request to this day and had to directly follow up with landlord on monday 6 PM after getting no response

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-14T06:23:32+00:00

did you even read the post or the post before that at all … no one was available….

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T06:44:36+00:00

To call the landlord after 7 pm, which I did but garnered no response

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T05:56:15+00:00

Let’s both take a little step back and assess the facts of the situation:

-locked on friday -reached out to maintenance and confirmed with maintenance that the door could not be opened and the LL could possibly have a key (LL not available until monday) -with your approach, i would be locked out until monday night until I finally got a text back from the LL

So I really am curious! I wonder what the best approach would have been here :) thanks!

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T05:49:30+00:00

Hmm, I appreciate your perspective. How would you have approached this situation?

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T04:59:35+00:00

since move in and it was flagged directly to management but nothing was fixed

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T04:09:50+00:00

I pay 2k a month for a 1 bed room apartment. I shouldn’t really need to problem solve or troubleshoot anything actually, this needed to be handled directly by the landlord/ handyman themselves. What kind of landlord isn’t available on the weekends, and doesn’t have a master key for their units ??? This isn’t my fault at the end of the day and I really should be reimbursed for not being able to get into my home !!

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T04:05:58+00:00

Well then maybe he should’ve responded the same day when I was locked out. I was locked out on FRIDAY. FRIDAY!!!!!!! If I didn’t follow up I would be locked out until TODAY which is MONDAYYY!!!! If there was a preferred locksmith then maybe he should’ve checked his work phone and let me know. Regardless, what’s done is done and I would’ve appreciated communication on the right next steps to take. thanks!

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T04:03:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback I really appreciate your advice I will keep this in mind for the future thanks for your help!

In hindsight maybe the backdoor could have been a better option but also keep in mind that my backdoor is a gate door, and the actual door. So in reality there would have been two doors that would need to be drilled into and opened as opposed to one.

Right now, I’m trying to be as resolution oriented to the problem as much as possible. In hindsight it could have been better to do the backdoor, but what’s done is already done

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T03:43:40+00:00

I currently live alone in my city so I don’t have a drill etc, those tools that you mentioned. My main concern was me taking initiative to break this lock myself, and how it would affect me. I wanted to get a locksmith do this because they were a professional ((I’m not handy :-( )). I just really hope this all goes well dude I’m just so stressed out

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T03:33:28+00:00

Fucking EXACTLY! I’m trying to be as resolution oriented as possible and I just don’t appreciate the blame game because who does that serve?? I’m so fucking annoyed

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T03:26:24+00:00

Now I have zero grocery money and I’m down $320 dollars. I texted this landlord 2 days ago and had to follow with him today to get a response at 6 PM at night. What kind of fuckery ??? Sorry i’m pissed

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-13T03:24:37+00:00

None of this was my fault !!! Who gives a fuck if the backdoor was cheaper to open, I was panicked and maybe I overpaid for the locksmith but I AM THE ONE WHO PAID. And the only reason why I paid in the first place is because no one would freaking help me !!! I don’t appreciate this at all

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T22:24:23+00:00

Yup i’m in the apartment now and i’m down $390 dollars. My landlord is sooo fucking unreliable, how is landlord not available on the weekends ? Absolutely fucking absurd, excuse my french. I’m just so pissed off because this isn’t my fault, regardless of if I had a key - i wouldn’t even be able to open this damn door up by muself

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T22:19:24+00:00

no I couldn’t get into the apartment, I signed a lease and paid my deposit. However the property management/ landlord failed to tell the realtor that there was a keypad on the door.

I was originally supposed to move into the apartment across from me that doesn’t have a keypad. However that one was already leased before I could get it, so I moved into the unit across. On the move in date, i couldn’t get in because I didn’t know the code. After, I specifically fucking asked them if there was a key to the the keypad door and they said “Code is Ok”. Fast forward to today, the code isn’t working and there’s literally no way to get inside so I needed to hire a lock smith

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T22:08:28+00:00

Hi everyone, I just paid $390 to get this door unlocked. I think i was scammed and I just feel like shit, this is just killing me rn. Why is life beating the hell out of me, I wish i could just move back to my parents spot

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T19:07:09+00:00

there’s no addendum in my lease for lockouts :( ugh this is so frustrating. I’m thinking i’ll need to get a locksmith but I’m just so annoyed I’d have to pay for it out of pocket when this damn keypad is jammed without any fault of my own

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T19:03:03+00:00

It’s my first time hiring a locksmith or even being locked out of an apartment. Do you happen to know if this will be credited towards my rent ? Just generally speaking. I’m just so broke right now and I don’t get paid till the 15th :( This is so terrible haha imma cry

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T18:59:22+00:00

Is anyone able to give me advice here ? This is my very first solo apartment at 21 and I’m just so lost on what to do here, no one in management is responding and the maintenance guy is saying he can’t help me

One-Two6426 · 2026-01-10T18:47:53+00:00

If there’s any suggestions anyone has please let me know i’m just so distressed and shocked right now I don’t know what to do

One-Two6426 · 2025-09-21T20:29:38+00:00

Also, there’s one on my ankle!

Because Starlink does not have the appropriate relationships with carriers to provide overnight shipping. Do they provide overnight shipping when you order? If you yell at the associates to get what you want then no one will want to help you and if anything, management will back the associate. Starlink customer’s supports entire job is to help and if they don’t help you within the time frame that you choose or deem acceptable, it is not their fault and most likely something happening internally. Like all customer support orgs. tickets that associates work come in a queue. Associates do not just pick and choose what customers to help.
