I officially moved out Saturday but was done with cleaning the apartment on Thursday. I have been trying to get the keys back to the manager since then. I email him because he's not in the office due to Covid and I don't actually know the phone number he's using aside from the emergency maintenance one. I have put the ball in his court, saying that I can come at the beginning or end of my workday (he couldn't meet me Saturday because he doesn't work weekends). I wrote that while the doors would be re-keyed, I at least had to get the mail key back because as far as I knew, the USPS owns those boxes. And the laundry room key should go back to him. So he responded with saying that no, they are responsible for the mail keys. Yeah, OK, whatever; he can do what he wants with it but I NEED TO GET IT BACK TO HIM is the point. So what does he tell me? That the keys need to go back to his office. Yeah, I know! That's what I'm trying to do! But I can't leave them there securely if he's not in the office so he needs to give me a time. I shouldn't have to ask "When are you in?" but I just did. If he doesn't set an appointment, I'm mailing them because this is nuts. He's the king of one-sentence replies.

I don't know exactly what to tell you, other than to be sure you've got proof that you mailed the keys back. A certified letter or something, perhaps. Because he may be too unresponsive to care about getting the keys back, but should they go missing, you can bet he'll try and charge you for them.Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white. -
I'd be tempted to just go there and nail them to the office door.

Certified Mail, complete with signature required, will quickly shut up any "I didn't get the XXXX" complaints. If such idiots want to continue stupidities in court, the receipt, complete with signature tends to eyeroll things into a close.Comment

LOL I thought of that. I feel bad for the new tenant. They have no idea what they're getting into.Quoth telecom_goddess View Post"Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probablyComment

Ha, the last place I moved out of I was instructed to leave the keys in the unit and so I did. Got a text from the property manager later:
PM: Did you lock the door?
Me: Yes. Was I not supposed to?
PM: It's fine.
Whatever, he was not terrible as far as property managers, but pretty standard in that he tried to get out of doing anything unless I really bugged him. So sorry, I wasn't about to leave the apartment unlocked so the keys could go missing.Replace anger management with stupidity management.Comment

The stupid thing about it is that I have to have the key in hand to lock the door. Only the deadbolt has a lock. Well, I'll let him email me when he wants to meet me. If he doesn't, oh well."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probablyComment

Will the key fit through the door?
If you have a big enough hammer, it will....

Guess who just texted me asking for keys? I responded that I didn't have a time and he just said to leave them in the dropbox because he's there today. I can't get there until 6:00 which probably means they will be sitting there for anyone to take, if he has left. We'll see what happens."Is it hot in here to you?

You'd think he'd bring his own copy, at least. Of course, he always made it seem like an inconvenience if I made him come out to the property to deal with something that's... you know... His job. So this being nearly the final interaction I had with him comes as no surprise.Quoth EricKei View PostReplace anger management with stupidity management.Comment
