I hope we get to keep good ventilation built into new architectural designs post pandemic. It will be so much better for everyone health wise. I fucking hated when they started doing things like no windows that open. I hate that windowless dorm design that is being pushed in California. We need good ventilation/filtration fans and lots of openable windows.

You know the terribly landlords I've had? I've rented from both of these. Landmark is the one that:
1. Tried to double cash my rent check, then charge me late and return fees because i didn't have enough money in my account to pay a second rent I didn't actually owe them on the grounds that "Once you give us a check there is no law stopping us from cashing it as often as we want. Luckily my bank was willing to fight them tooth and nail and in the end they had to pay my bank fees also. (Seriously I still do not understand how this is legal.)
2. Fought us over every repair then took our deposit because we had not paid an outside contractor to fix things like plumbing.
3. Never changed carpets on any units between tenets. They were nasty, torn, stained, and moldy. We noted this on move in sheets. They charged us to replace the carpets when we left, then didn't change them so they could pull the scam on the next tenets, which i discovered when i went to get a mis-delivered package from the second rental we had from them.
4. Black mold constantly bloomed on the walls, carpeting and ceiling.
5. The stairs were rotting wood and shaky. One day the railing came off in my hand. They reluctantly replaced it with naked, uncured wood. No weather coating or paint or shellac, just pine bits they bought at some hardware store. the same happened when my leg went through a rotted stair board.
6. a neighbor kid fell on some of the rusted rebar they had sticking up randomly in the front yard. A slightly different fall would have pierced something vital. They not only refused to pay medical bills, they refused to remove the rebar. Every time I tottered down the railing-less cement stairs where the kid fell I would look at the foot high rebar spike and wonder if my eye or neck or heart would be next.
7. The floor was spongy in the entry way when we moved in, something we expressed concern about and noted on the move in form. They said it was normal and nothing was wrong with it. The ceiling in the front wall leaked at that same second and last rental. We reported it and the electrical danger it was posing as the stair light out front was wired through it and it was a lot of water. This was because they improperly installed the balcony above, compromising the wall and ceiling. They insisted this was our responsibility to pay to fix even though it was preexisting and clearly nothing to do with us. They refused to fix it and threatened to charge us for it if we didn't fix the balcony in the upstairs unit, wall, leaks, and wiring for them. (I have no idea how this is legal, but here we are. We knew we weren't getting a penny of deposit back anyway.)
Remember the spongy floor? Right under the water rivulets coming through the ceiling. One day squirrel's leg went through. He could have died as it would have been an entire story drop onto the foundation if both legs went through. They refused responsibility for medical bills and tried to get us to pay to fix it, which we refused. The workmen came and were horrified. The reason the floor was spongy was there was no wood under it. I was impressed unsupported linoleum lasted the three or so years before it gave way. They said the entire underside of the building was rotting away similarly.
It took most of the week for them to replace the massive section of floor they had to remove, since they had to put in make shift pillars and such underneath and shore up the rotting floor, using our two man sized hole. we were terrified a cat would jump in there and get trapped. I couldn't get safely over the hole so I was trapped in the black mold riddled house with my failing lung patient lungs. Squirrel had to work, so he kept having to step carefully over it over and over. I am still amazed he survived.
Eventually, they put naked plywood over the hole and we never saw them again. We could lift the plywood plank with our fingers it not being nailed down. It would stake as I walked over it. They tried to charge us thousands of dollars to replace it even though we pointed out none of this was in anyway our fault. Odds are it's still dragging my credit store down.
8. They did replace the balcony eventually and plug the holes, but they never touched the wall with the wiring that was sodden through every time it rained until they did. I never trusted that light switch, so we simply had no porch light. Want to bet it is all black mold inside?
Families are still living there.
All of this is completely legal as there is no authority anywhere that stops it.

* Sunday, I made the mistake of absentmindedly lifting some things after the head Millennial went home. I realized what I was doing fairly early and started icing right away. I likely would have been okay if Tavy hadn't kept insisting he was allowed to sleep with his whole weight on my wound. I kept trying to discourage this and redirect him to less damaging positions. He kept pretending to comply and then creeping back onto the non-load bearing area of my body the moment I'd drift off. I'd catch him mid-creep and redirect him back to safe, bonier areas like my ribs.
Eventually, he "won." He landed with his whole weight on one paw directly to my wound. I woke up just early enough to anticipate the pain, but not prevent it. I yelled because it really fucking hurt, terrifying him, so it was a pyrrhic victory for the Emperor.
I iced it, but it was bad. I just managed to stay out of the ER and I'm a bit better, but still a mess.
* We are planning to use most of squirrel's tax rebate to get a working oven, but the dishwasher is also broken. (The dishwasher is a safety thing because I am medically fragile. Not having a working oven is playing havoc with my nutrition.) My share of the oven plus fixing the dishwasher will likely be in the $600-700 range.

You know the terribly landlords I've had? I've rented from both of these. Landmark is the one that:
1. Tried to double cash my rent check, then charge me late and return fees because i didn't have enough money in my account to pay a second rent I didn't actually owe them on the grounds that "Once you give us a check there is no law stopping us from cashing it as often as we want. Luckily my bank was willing to fight them tooth and nail and in the end they had to pay my bank fees also. (Seriously I still do not understand how this is legal.)
2. Fought us over every repair then took our deposit because we had not paid an outside contractor to fix things like plumbing.
3. Never changed carpets on any units between tenets. They were nasty, torn, stained, and moldy. We noted this on move in sheets. They charged us to replace the carpets when we left, then didn't change them so they could pull the scam on the next tenets, which i discovered when i went to get a mis-delivered package from the second rental we had from them.
4. Black mold constantly bloomed on the walls, carpeting and ceiling.
5. The stairs were rotting wood and shaky. One day the railing came off in my hand. They reluctantly replaced it with naked, uncured wood. No weather coating or paint or shellac, just pine bits they bought at some hardware store. the same happened when my leg went through a rotted stair board.
6. a neighbor kid fell on some of the rusted rebar they had sticking up randomly in the front yard. A slightly different fall would have pierced something vital. They not only refused to pay medical bills, they refused to remove the rebar. Every time I tottered down the railing-less cement stairs where the kid fell I would look at the foot high rebar spike and wonder if my eye or neck or heart would be next.
7. The floor was spongy in the entry way when we moved in, something we expressed concern about and noted on the move in form. They said it was normal and nothing was wrong with it. The ceiling in the front wall leaked at that same second and last rental. We reported it and the electrical danger it was posing as the stair light out front was wired through it and it was a lot of water. This was because they improperly installed the balcony above, compromising the wall and ceiling. They insisted this was our responsibility to pay to fix even though it was preexisting and clearly nothing to do with us. They refused to fix it and threatened to charge us for it if we didn't fix the balcony in the upstairs unit, wall, leaks, and wiring for them. (I have no idea how this is legal, but here we are. We knew we weren't getting a penny of deposit back anyway.)
Remember the spongy floor? Right under the water rivulets coming through the ceiling. One day squirrel's leg went through. He could have died as it would have been an entire story drop onto the foundation if both legs went through. They refused responsibility for medical bills and tried to get us to pay to fix it, which we refused. The workmen came and were horrified. The reason the floor was spongy was there was no wood under it. I was impressed unsupported linoleum lasted the three or so years before it gave way. They said the entire underside of the building was rotting away similarly.
It took most of the week for them to replace the massive section of floor they had to remove, since they had to put in make shift pillars and such underneath and shore up the rotting floor, using our two man sized hole. we were terrified a cat would jump in there and get trapped. I couldn't get safely over the hole so I was trapped in the black mold riddled house with my failing lung patient lungs. Squirrel had to work, so he kept having to step carefully over it over and over. I am still amazed he survived.
Eventually, they put naked plywood over the hole and we never saw them again. We could lift the plywood plank with our fingers it not being nailed down. It would stake as I walked over it. They tried to charge us thousands of dollars to replace it even though we pointed out none of this was in anyway our fault. Odds are it's still dragging my credit store down.
8. They did replace the balcony eventually and plug the holes, but they never touched the wall with the wiring that was sodden through every time it rained until they did. I never trusted that light switch, so we simply had no porch light. Want to bet it is all black mold inside?
Families are still living there.
All of this is completely legal as there is no authority anywhere that stops it.

* Sunday, I made the mistake of absentmindedly lifting some things after the head Millennial went home. I realized what I was doing fairly early and started icing right away. I likely would have been okay if Tavy hadn't kept insisting he was allowed to sleep with his whole weight on my wound. I kept trying to discourage this and redirect him to less damaging positions. He kept pretending to comply and then creeping back onto the non-load bearing area of my body the moment I'd drift off. I'd catch him mid-creep and redirect him back to safe, bonier areas like my ribs.
Eventually, he "won." He landed with his whole weight on one paw directly to my wound. I woke up just early enough to anticipate the pain, but not prevent it. I yelled because it really fucking hurt, terrifying him, so it was a pyrrhic victory for the Emperor.
I iced it, but it was bad. I just managed to stay out of the ER and I'm a bit better, but still a mess.
* We are planning to use most of squirrel's tax rebate to get a working oven, but the dishwasher is also broken. (The dishwasher is a safety thing because I am medically fragile. Not having a working oven is playing havoc with my nutrition.) My share of the oven plus fixing the dishwasher will likely be in the $600-700 range.
