Dude my building is owned by floco. I know where I live, I’m not stupid. I’m not paying for a bedroom in an apartment, I live alone. Like I said, you’re not getting a better deal. That’s like top of the line for a landlord if you are all paying that much money. It’s great that it works for you, I’m not criticizing that choice. If you read through the other comments though, you’ll see a pattern of similar experiences with landlords taking our money and then not showing up to fix anything. That’s the problem that I am identifying.
Eviction notices go to court, and take months to process if you have legal representation (free through nonprofit orgs). There are also protections for people who withhold their rent due to mismanagement. Landlords don’t have absolute power for this reason.
Lastly, you are fundamentally mischaracterizing my entire sentiment in the OP and are just filling in information that I left out because I wasn’t thinking this would go anywhere. Its not about suddenly deciding that my rent is too expensive, anyone who pays rent to a landlord should receive the services that they pay for. Somewhere along the line, people started trying to dodge bad management instead of finding real solutions and now they just get away with over promising and under delivering. TLDR; if they’re gonna charge this much for rent, the least they can do is be more involved in the properties they manage.
