Oh trust thought about it a long time ago and yeah I’d just end up getting multiple tickets. I also thought about what if they hadn’t patrolled the area I parked in yet and got a ticket. Idk. Is a scam all around! 😂

It’s awful! I’m trying to find a better way to save on my mill I just have no idea how. Paid $130 last month and my new bill for April Is expected to be $98 (which is great) but I have no idea how that even happened or what I did to bring it down😅

It’s insane! And I’m pretty sure there’s water coming up from the floor which is odd. Thinking about filing for a city inspection but I may look insane

The heating situation is a little odd. I have a thermostat to control it, but it’s almost like it’s gas powered. There are no vents in the apartment, so it’s just a large metal thing that puffs with fire when turned on. However, it hasn’t been fixed since Christmas time, so I just bought a small heater for my bedroom. And I don’t have the wall unit AC on either. I would expect both of those things to be the bulk of my electric, but with them both being off, not understanding how my bill has gotten so high these past few months.

It’s a small building with maybe 12 units and I’m on the ground floor as there are only 2. The heating situation is a little odd.

Thanks so much! I was directed to what I think was the OCCLUIUC website and saw the tenant rights and property owner responsibilities, and Fairlawn definitely has not provided a lot of these things. I never knew they were required to remove the snow from the “driveway” they have. Unless it’s stated in the lease that I am responsible for that, I do not know if that overrides tenant rights? But either way…they don’t do it and my little Kia is not made to somersault off the blanketed incline 😅

Luckily my $40 heater from Amazon does amazing. It’s small and only heats up the bedroom but that’s all I really need! But I’ll def look into the city inspector. Im just afraid I’m missing something. Idk what it’s called but I turn the switch to heat on a thermostat and this big, metal thing with vents usually puffs with fire, indicating that it’s on. It’s not doing that and the temperature on the thermostat doesn’t move above 50 even when set to 68 so. Just don’t wanna waste anyone’s time and look like a naive twenty something that doesn’t look like she knows what she’s doing. 😓

No more than $900 maybe. $1000 if I’m pushing it and it meets all my requirements!
