The Domicile of Despair (long, epic, get your popcorn)

[Victory Sabre]

Thank you for posting this final part. Crazy story, and it looks like the "bad guys" got what they deserved.

[lupo pazzesco]

Holy roller coaster ride!! Glad some form of justice was served, and look at it this way, you saved a lot of future college students a miserable living experience.

Also...you posted 10 minutes after I logged offline. I think I said that makes you meeeeeeeaaaaaaaaannnn (May be paraphrasing. :P) But cripes, that was a nice pick-me-up this morning, to go with the morning chai.

[Crossbow]

Wow, what a finish. Congratulations for surviving such a nightmare and I'm glad you and your family came out on top. No wonder you deal with SCs so elegantly.

*claps, cheers and whistles*

Whole 'nother story in which I tick off the wrong people, AGAIN. Maybe I'll tell it later, LOL.

I know I'm up for it. Don't know that you're ready to deal with the deluge of people begging for the next parts again, but I sure am

As an aside,I just want to let you all know I didn't expect it to get like this. I was just originally posting this for pedersen, because he wanted to hear about it, and I didn't have time to type the whole thing up. I mean, this is a good 15 pages in the doc I have it backed up in. <.<

Thank you. I know it took a lot to type it all up, and I do appreciate it. Even if I didn't seem it so much in chat (where I was begging for the next part, and the next part, etc)

Should definitely be nominated for WAR STORIES. Hope to hear the tale of college sometime, but only if we get it all at once and not be teased to death!

I know it got nominated at least once, by me. I hope it makes the grade. And for anybody else: Report the post or PM a mod that it should be a war story if you think so. I asked Raps, and them's the official procedures.

*WHEW*

Well, thanks for wrapping it up, Seraph! I couldn't believe that story kept getting worse and worse and worse ... I've hit some PITA superintendents and apartment owners (the latter mostly due to their not giving tenants their legal interest on their last month's rent) but GAWD!! I can't believe Slumlord got away with so much for so long! Although most of his unhappy tenants probably just got out of Dodge as quick as they could.

Congratulations on both surviving it and on *ahem* becoming a force for J*U*S*T*I*C*E in the process.




Exactly, LOL. It may be a mess, but it's MY mess!

this... even my worst apartment complex wasn't as crappy as slumlord was. they knew enough to stay within the laws even if i hated them and hated my neighbors


although now i'm wondering if slumlord is behind bars.
you can probably find out you know if you remember his name. it's public information after all.

the sad part about all of this is that probably every major university has an apartment complex like this. It's even sadder when those community supposedly have renter protection laws. And these places get a reputation after a period of time so if you come in blind you don't know that you are living in or next to "party central".

[telecom_goddess]

Wow..I just found this yesterday (haven't been able to keep up) and damn...what a story.

[RealUnimportant]

A happy ending indeed... I know I shouldn't be surprised that shit like this happens, but daaaayum!

[PepperElf]

which reminds me...

www.apartmentratings.com - it probably won't work for something that's already condemned or closed but you can use it for places you're currently in or places you just moved out of.

Funny story, I actually DID post on there about them, and Slumlord actually replied nastily to my review, and noted that he knew exactly who wrote it.

And it brought to mind something I totally, totally forgot. Not sure how I did, but I did.

The sewage issue.

Again, adjoining room next to me tried to flush something down the pipes that they shouldn't, and it backed up the sewage lines. However, due to the way the lines were set up, this meant that all the backed up sewage had only one place to go: my bathtub.

Yes, it was a common thing for the last five months of my stay to come back, and find the tub nearly overflowing with horrific smelling sewage and other nasties. Slumlord told us this was just my fault for picking the wrong room, and they never really got around to fixing it. CG and I never touched the tub again afterwards, we just showered at our friend's homes.

Again, just glad that honestly, we got out of there alive, and that we are the better for it. Yay. ^^

[Jay 2K Winger]

This was truly an epic tale.

I'm glad that Slumlord got what was coming to him, as did CEO, and glad it all worked out for you in the end. We all know there's a special hell (no, not that one) waiting for Slumlord, too.

(Also, the rebellion by the Caps Lock, Shift, and Space Bar has been violently crushed and they are now eager to obey and do what I tell them.)

which just makes him look even worse really.

especially now that you can go back and say "haha jokes on you."
