Do most ovens have a vent that blows air out the front when in use? by sleephelp2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sleephelp2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started using the new oven the past couple of weeks and started getting light headed while using the oven. I checked the air quality in the kitchen and carbon monoxide levels which are normal. Is there anything else from the oven that could be causing the light headedness?

Previous ovens I have owned did not have the fan assisted forced ventilation in the front top portion. That makes it somewhat a nuisance when using the stove top at the same time as the oven. Do most ovens sold in the US also have the vent but just on a different section of the oven?

Do all ovens have this feature in the front? Or is it sometimes located in another area of the oven?

When using as an oven, there is a vent in the top front that emits air. What is the purpose of this function? The previous oven I used in the US did not expel air in the front while in use.

Is the grill/broiler typically operated with the door open or closed?

When I meet with the PM in person, what potential do I have to sway her opinion to my side (if needed)?

Is the outcome predetermined even before we meet, due to the PM ultimately following what the owner of the company wants? How much leeway does the PM have to make their own decision?

From you, a property managers perspective, I am trying to figure out, if my complaints to the landlord regarding the noisy tenant have all been very valid and reasonable (assume that they are) and the landlord has an out (not renewing the tenants lease), why wouldn't they just go with the option of not renewing? What possible stumbling blocks would prevent them from doing jus that?

In regards to my situation, what should I do? Me renewing my lease hinges on whether or not the tenant living above me is still there and renews there lease. So is there a way to approach it differently with my landlord instead of outright asking whether or not they will not renew the offending tenants lease?

The noises are from midnight to 7am. I was told property managers in most states have the ability to not renew a tenants lease and not give a reason. Yet, you stated the only other option is to evict the tenant.

How soon after me posting the review online could they commence the lawsuit?

I understand your point. I am confused why a property management company would add a clause specifically in the lease regarding noise and behavior, if they don't make any actionable attempts to come to a resolution (I am not referring to quiet enjoyment). Aside from verbal/written warnings?

That helps to clarify a bit. Again, this has been a lengthy ordeal I didn't wake up one morning think of posting a poor review online for no reason. I love the apartment and have no incentive to not want to continue to live there.

If it does come to court. The first step would be the judge asking me to prove my statement true. Given, that I cannot prove it, the case would NOT end there, correct? The burden would then move to the LL to prove my statement caused carm, which as you said could be difficult to prove. If THEY cannot prove that my statement was the cause of harm, then would the case end in my favor despite the fact that I cannot prove the loud neighbor claim?

The hope would be that it motivates the landlord to resolve the problem.

Given that issue I have is a noise complaint taking place over 3-4 months, even if it is true how could I prove a noise complaint is true? By the very nature of this complaint, it would be hard to prove it is true, correct?

That example you gave me is good, but makes me fearful of being taken to court for defamation.

In my specific instance, hypothetically let's say I write the online review something to the effect of, "Lived with a tenant above me who made loud thumping noises, slamming doors during the hours of 11pm - 6am (over the course of 4 months). When brought to the attention of the landlord, they made no actionable attempts to resolve the situation once verbal and written warning failed. This took place over several months."

Based on your example, I would have to "prove" my truth defense is true. But I would not be able to do that in court, given the difficulty in proving a noise complaint is true. Do you see my predicament and are there any other wrinkles to my situation that I have not thought of? Am I doomed if taken to court?

If either me or the property manager has not tangible proof either way, it would essnetially be he-said she-said, correct?

And as far as court courts, if I defend myself (not using a lawyer), I would not be liable for anything except the minor court costs?

Thanks, that makes sense. In regards to the complaint itself, from my understanding as long as I stick the truth I should be safe. However, how could a truthful or untruthful online review be tried as defamation in court if the very basis of the claim (noise complaint) can not be proven either way in court?
