As I've mentioned before I work for a reality, ah, realty company. The vast majority of residents are students due to the VERY large college that takes up a large portion of town.
Rent is due on the first, late after the 3rd. Meaning, as long as the payment is made online on the 4th, or it is physically in my hand by the time I open on the 4th you are good.
This month the 1st and 2nd fell on the weekend, so the dropbox was full, and mail was heavy.
There were also a TON of walk ins. I'm try and watch out for the residents, make sure they get copies and receipts if they need them. Which is more than some of my co-workers.
Tell Me your address!
Look, I know sometimes it might serve to stay anonymous, but with us, it really doesn't matter. We already know were each of you live, and we already know the problem people. Heck, about 75% of the time I recognize your voice after you complain for a minute or two. WE will not reveal who you are to the person you're complaining about, because if you are complaining about something we probably already have an idea. That being said, some stuff you just need to call the cops. I need your address so that I can give the person I'm transferring the call to SOME idea of what's about to happen.
Moms and Dads
Cut the cord. Just do it.
There's some roof work going on, and pretending to be some sort of emissary for the student block and bitching won't make it get done faster. It'll get done when it gets done. I'm not a roofer.
Computer Problems
Why must you happen on busy Mondays? I started the day with a Thermal error on my desktop, then my receipt printer wouldn't work, then my regular printer konked out.I think it ran out of toner.I'll figure it out tomorrow. I spent the last two hours hand writing receipts.
But it's not fairrrr!!!!
So, we don't rent by the room. If a group of people move in then they are all EQUALLY liable for rent. It is their responsibility to tell us if anyone moves out and make sure rent is payed. They are all told this at move in. Yes, as a courtesy we allow them to split their rent and pay with multiple checks. Most places in town won't do that. It's not our job to make sure each person pays their rent, just so long as it get's done.
So when you being in Decembers rent knowing full well that one roommate bailed without paying Novembers rent, and you decided not to tell us, don't whine when it goes to the OLDEST charge. No, we won't hunt her down and make her pay rent. She's your roommate. YES, you do need to tell us if someone new wants to move in.
Yes, I made a face. You gave me a damn twitch because you stood there and whined "But that's not fair" like you were my damn 10 year old.
No, it's not fair. Life's not fair.
Their parents are probably going to call tomorrow.
Feuding Old Men
They're only in their 60's, but they ACT old.
So there's this low rent apartment complex in the city next to use that we manage. Cheapest place in town. We've managed in since the the early 90's. I'll call it TSM. It's a bizarre place. There's feuds and crime and the whole place just feels off. I've never been there, this is my impression from the calls I get. Oh, sure, there's some family and young people that just want a cheap place and are trying to get by.
So, the Feud.
Numbers 3 and 4 have been feuding since 4 moved in this past July. Both are drunk most of the time. 4 claims that 3 will leave trash and beer bottles in front of 4's apt. He also claimed that 3 spends his time yelling at him, and calls the police on him. 4 left a rambling message a couple weeks ago saying that 3 was have sex with a 12 year old and that there were three detectives with .45's there. It's was strange. Account rep called the PD and was told that NO police had visited that location recently. Whenever the police visit, they call us.
3 says that 4 hurls racial slurs, and generally harasses him. 5 says that 4 spreads his trash around. I think 4 has even been accused of wandering around naked
.
4 called up not too long ago accusing us of stealing his meds! But no one had been there recently?
tl;dr= Pay your damn rent and don't be crazy!
