I have given my 60 days' notice on my apartment and there will be a second "inspection" two or three days before I actually leave.
I recently ran into my superintendent in the hallway and he asked if he'd given me "Mike's" (the owner) letter. I said, truthfully, that he had not. He said it was just stuff I had to do in relation to the move (i.e. booking the elevator).
I left the apartment for several hours and expected to find the letter taped to my door or stuck under my door when I returned.
Nothing.
This is the same idiot who failed to give me a timely notification of a rental increase. I only found out about it when he called to tell me my cheque was for the wrong amount. I don't know the details but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to get a rental increase notice 24 hours after you hand in your cheque ...
My first year here was great. The last year has been awful, not least because I feel I was jerked around over the noisy neighbour (the company told me they needed an objective witness so I should call the super, regardless of the hour, when the noise started. He had told me not to call him after 8 or 9 at night; he said, "Call the police. I'm not a bouncer.")
So my inclination is not to remind him of the letter and let the chips fall where they may when the inspection occurs. I don't see that it's my job to remind him to do his job.
Or am I risking shooting myself in the foot?
